The HDMI Forum has completed and releases Version 2.0a of the HDMI Specification, which is available to current HDMI 2.0 Adopters via the HDMI Adopter Extranet. The specification has been updated to enable transmission of HDR formats, which provide enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. The HDR-related updates include references to CEA-861.3, CEA’s recently published update of HDR Static Metadata Extensions.
