8K New Technology: 8K HDMI2.1

Features and Scheme Sharing

 

    With the adoption of 8K+5G technology for live broadcast at the two sessions and the successive introduction of 8K TVs by major domestic and foreign TV manufacturers, I believe that the word 8K is no longer unfamiliar to everyone. So what is 8K, what are the functions of 8K, and what technology is used to achieve it. Let’s talk briefly with you today.

    The most popular 8K digital video interface is HDMI2.1. The following is a brief description of the format, transmission mode, DSC function and HDR function supported by HDMI2.1.

 

1. Support higher resolution and frame rate

§ 

TMDS Mode

§ 

         6 Gbps x 3 lanes = 18 Gbps

§ 

Fixed Rate Link (FRL) Mode

§ 

         12 Gbps x 4 lanes = 48 Gbps

 

 2. Support FLR transmission mode

§ 

HDMI2.1 defines a new transmission mode FRL (Fixed Rate link), which defines the original TMDS CLOCK CHANNEL as a Lane of FRL, that is, the clock channel is also changed to transmit data. Through FRL mode, the highest transmission bit rate is 4x12Gbps=48Gbps

§ 

 

§ 

FRL connection process

 

 

3. DSC1.2

§ 

HDMI2.1 adopts VESA DSC VISION1.2a standard. Judging from the content of the HDMI2.1 standard, DSC seems to divide the original picture into several parts (Slice), and only compress it in the horizontal direction. The original Hactive+Hblank is compressed to Hcactive+Hcblank, as shown in the figure below, the subsequent processing It is similar to transmitting and uncompressed signals . Sink must indicate in the EDID that it supports DSC (DSC-1p2=1) and the supported format, so that Source can send compressed signals. Source transmits PPS (picture parameter set) to sink through CVTEM (compressed video transport extended metadata) packet.

§ 

 

Compressed signals can only be transmitted through FRL

 

 

4. Static HDR and dynamic HDR

§ 

PACKET in HDMI1.4 (HDR-Metadate is not supported)

§ 

Added color PACKET (0F87) in 4K HDMI2.0 to support static HDR

§ 

HDMI2.1 newly added PACKET ((0X7F) EMP supports dynamic HDR

§ 

 

§ 

Characteristics of HDMI transmission

§ 

The sink must indicate which kind of HDR and which kind of Metadata is supported in the HDR Metadata Block of HDR of EDID (can support static or several dynamic HDR at the same time)

§ 

For static Metadata, the Source end is transmitted through 0X87 infoframepacket. Both HDMI2.1 and CTA-861-G stipulate that every two fields (Field) must be transmitted once

§ 

For dynamic Metadata, the Source end is transmitted through 0X7F EMP (Extended Metadata packet); because it is closely related to the image content , EMP is transmitted in the blanking period of the previous frame for the next frame to use

§ 

The transmitted Metadata Packet contains the infoframe typecode, and the sink knows what kind of Metadata it is and corresponds to the corresponding HDR

§
