QED PERFORMANCE Ultra High Speed HDMI V2.1
Engineering pedigree
QED has been designing and engineering superior analogue and digital
cables for more than 45 years and its new Performance Ultra High Speed
HDMI 2.1 cable is informed by the results of the company’s exhaustive
research into cable design since 1995.
Supports full 8K video content
Supporting the latest HDMI 2.1 standard this new specification defines
the fastest copper-based data rate ever conceived raising the maximum
throughput from 16 Gb/s of the previous Premium cable standard (HDMI
2.0) to 48 Gb/s to support uncompressed video resolutions of up to
8K@60Hz (4:2:0) with 12bit HDR. The cable will also carry uncompressed
4K@120Hz video while delivering the promised maximum compressed video
resolution of up to 10K@120Hz. Lastly Dynamic HDR and Enhanced Audio
Return Channel (eARC) are also supported no matter what brand or
combination of HDMI 2.1 compatible equipment you are using.
Triple shielding cable design
QED Ultra High Speed HDMI cables have to undergo stringent mandatory
testing at an HDMI Forum authorised testing centre not only to
establish compatibility with the new 2.1 video standards but also to
ensure low levels of electromagnetic radiation to reduce the
possibility of interference with wireless networks streaming media
players Bluetooth devices and mobile phones. This is realised through
QED’s Triple-shielding design that further protects against interference
for optimal signal quality.
HDMI accreditation
QED is one of the first brands to officially adopt the new cable
category in the form of the new Performance Ultra High Speed range. The
cables have received the official stamp of approval from the HDMI Forum
accredited laboratory in the form of the instantly recognisable Ultra
High Speed Certification Program stickers. Just scan the QR code on the
label using the official HDMI app to be reassured that the cable is a
genuine QED Ultra High Speed HDMI cable.
Backward compatible
All the cables are completely backward compatible with HDMI 2.0b and
1.4b standards and are available in 1.5 and 3 metre lengths which will
ensure continued years of upgradeable video enjoyment at home.
eFlex design
This cable has been designed to be as thin and flexible as possible.
Gone are the days of large bulky HDMI cables and the new Performance
Ultra High Speed HDMI is characterised by a sleek black livery with a
maximum diameter of just 6.3 mm (1.5m)/7.3 mm (3.0m) to ensure that it
is suitable for use with the slimmest TVs. In reducing the cable
diameter we have not compromised on the purity of the conductors we use
which are still made from 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper.
