A quote from the above article:

HDMI 2.1 highlights:

Higher Video Resolutions support a range of higher resolutions and faster refresh rates including 8K60Hz and 4K120Hz for immersive viewing and smooth fast-action detail.
Supported resolutions:
4K50/60
4K100/120
5K50/60
5K100/120
8K50/60
8K100/120
10K50/60
10K100/120
HDMI 2.1 Specification supports the latest color spaces including BT.2020 with 10, 12, and 16 bits per color component.
Dynamic HDR ensures every moment of a video is displayed at its ideal values for depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and wider color gamuts—on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.
48G cables enable up to 48Gbps bandwidth for uncompressed HDMI 2.1 feature support including 8K video with HDR. The cable is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI Specification and can be used with existing HDMI devices.
eARC supports the most advanced audio formats such as object-based audio, and enables advanced audio signal control capabilities including device auto-detect.
Game Mode VRR features variable refresh rate, which enables a 3D graphics processor to display the image at the moment it is rendered for more fluid and better detailed gameplay, and for reducing or eliminating lag, stutter, and frame tearing.

10kp120, Jim will be happy .

Anyway, only an 48Gb/s cable, and my packed Raw mode is not included. I'll let others do the calculations as to what sort of 10kp120 fits in a cable, at ball, and if it is merely likely an extra wide monitor format in 4:2:0 10 bit with compression.

So, the cable, unless it is 100Gb/s fibre in a small connector, I am not overally enthused. I thought high Frequency Frames were headed towards 240fps, but I must be includinh right band left eye separately by mistake?

This is unexpected in the 2.x series. I would have expected it in the next series, but time has run out I guess. However, we really should have HDMI rolled into TB 3/4 and its connector scheme. The extension of HDMI as some sort of extention of a micro dvi, and the still molasses like pace of USB has hurt it O think. USB has never kept up with TB to offer enough speed to be an proper alternative, and even TB hssmbeen slow, even though the original connector could have maybe passed 100Gb/s through multiple lines, we are still yet to see the 100gb/s promoted all those years ago, and I dontneven know ifntje fibre version is out. By now TB should have offered specialist 100gb/s-10tb/s over fibre, butnthemnagaon pci-e has been slow. However, in the server and parrsllel markets they have real need for such inconnects, which can form the cable basis for high end professional uses. Molasses my friends, molasses.
