Kordz, a global connectivity products company, has released a compelling new episode of its Mastering Connectivity podcast, produced in collaboration with AV Trade Talks. Titled “HDMI 2.2: Engineering the Future of AV Infrastructure,” the sixth installment of an ongoing podcast series that is said to offer an insider’s perspective of the newly released HDMI 2.2 specification.
Hosted by Katye McGregor Bennett, the conversation with the Kordz team features James Chen, managing director and Benjamin Yeh, operations director and product development manager, Kordz. During the podcast, Bennett led the Kordz team on a discussion related to the implications of HDMI 2.2, which doubles the available data transmission rate to 96Gbps paving the way for advanced applications like 8K, 16K, a new realm of immersive, interactive content.
“This is not just another version update,” says Chen. “HDMI 2.2 represents a generational leap in performance. However, while the specification is now official, true implementation and certification will take some time to evolve.”
Throughout the podcast, Chen and Yeh caution AV professionals to be wary of products featuring premature claims of HDMI 2.2 compatibility, and to instead focus on infrastructure that delivers long-term value and reliability. The Kordz executives recommend to integrators to follow the progression of the HDMI 2.2 standard and compliant products by visiting HDMI.org.
“We’re at a crossroads where performance, certification and transparency matter more than ever,” adds Yeh. “With HDMI 2.2, there’s no room for shortcuts—it’s about getting it right from the lab to the field.”
