Higher speed: Although all previous versions of HDMI® Have had more than enough bandwidth to support all current HDTV formats
(10.2Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions, deep color and high frame rates
In addition, built into the specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI® Reach significantly higher speeds
Deep color: Supports 30-, 36- and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI® Specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail
Broader color space adds support for axvYCC a color standard, which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye
New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, offers a new, smaller form factor connector option
Lip synchronization: Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy
New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI® Is current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby digital and DTS), adds additional support for new loss less compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD master audio™
