HDMI 2.0

This topic explains the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 2.0 and its features along with the advantages.

HDMI is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible
digital audio/video source, such as a DVD player, or A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital TV
(DTV). The intended applications for HDMI TVs, and DVD players. The primary advantage is cable reduction and content protection
provisions. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multichannel digital audio on a single cable.

HDMI 2.0 features

HDMI Ethernet Channel 

- Adds high-speed networking to an HDMI link, enabling users to take full advantage of their IP-enabled

devices without a separate Ethernet cable

Audio Return Channel

 - Allows an HDMI-connected TV with a integrated tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround audio

system, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable

3D

 - Defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home theater applications

Content Type

 - Real-time signaling of content types between display and source devices, enabling a TV to optimize illustration

settings based on content type

Additional Color Spaces 

- Adds support for additional color models that are used in digital photography and computer graphics

4K Support

 - Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays that rival the Digital Cinema systems

that are used in many commercial movie theaters

HDMI Micro Connector

 - A new, smaller connector for phones and other portable devices, supporting video resolutions up to 1080p

Automotive Connection System

 - New cables and connectors for automotive video systems, which are designed to meet the

unique demands of the motoring environment while delivering true HD quality

Advantages of HDMI

Quality HDMI transfers uncompressed digital audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.

Low -cost HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner

Audio HDMI supports multiple audio formats from standard stereo to multichannel surround sound

HDMI combines video and multichannel audio into a single cable, eliminating the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables that
are currently used in A/V systems

HDMI supports communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the DTV, enabling new functionality

Corning Gorilla Glass

Corning Gorilla Glass 5: Corning’s latest composition was formulated to address breakage the #1 consumer complaint, according to
Corning’s research. The new glass is just as thin and light as previous versions, but has been formulated to deliver dramatically improved
native damage resistance allowing improved in-field performance. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 has been tested for performance when
subjected to sharp contact damage, such as asphalt and other real-world surfaces.

Benefits

Enhanced retained strength after use.

High resistance to scratch and sharp contact damage.

Improved drop performance.

Superior surface quality.

Applications

Ideal protective cover for electronic displays in:

Smartphones

Laptop and tablet computer screens

Wearable devices

Touchscreen devices

Optical components
