8K is the next wave of high-resolution video and is double the vertical and horizontal resolution of Ultra HD/4K at 7680×4320. There are 33.2 million pixels (33.2 megapixels) in an 8K image.

48 Gbps is the latest speed for the newest standard, HDMI 2.1, which was released in the fall of 2017. At 48 billion bits per second, these cables are transmitting massive amounts of data and thus significant engineering and care is required to pull these off, particularly in distances beyond a few meters.

10K is the double the vertical and horizontal resolution of 5K, which is found in videos shot and produced in anamorphic (2.35:1) aspect ratio. The most common resolution of 10K will be, as it is not widely adopted currently, 10240×4320. 10K equates to just over 44 megapixels.

eARC or Enhanced Audio Return Channel is the next iteration found in the new HDMI 2.1 standard. The biggest change in eARC is immersive audio formats such as Dolby ATMOS, DTS:X and Auro3D. These audio formats allow for a greater listening experience by adding audio overhead and in a greater 3D type space, called object-based audio. eARC supports up to 32 channels of high resolution 192/24 audio.

Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces latency by bursting individual pictures across the HDMI link as fast as possible when the link’s hardware supports more bandwidth than the minimum amount needed for the resolution and frame rate of the content. With QFT, individual pictures arrive earlier, and some hardware blocks can be fully powered off for longer periods of time between pictures to reduce heat generation and extend battery life.

Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and video eliminates the delay that can result in blank screens before content begins to be displayed.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) – When a display device supports the option to either optimize its pixel processing for best latency or best pixel processing, ALLM allows the current HDMI source device to automatically select, based on its better understanding of the nature of its own content, which mode the user would most likely prefer.

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, stutter and frame tearing for more fluid motion in games.
