Active-picture arithmetic is useful, but it is not a cable verdict.
The useful distinction
Use the worksheet to expose width, height, refresh rate, component depth and sampling assumptions rather than reducing the question to a connector name.
Guide note · not an individual product specification
The useful distinction
Understand the requirement.
Uncompressed sample-count arithmetic treats RGB or 4:4:4 as three component samples per pixel, 4:2:2 as two on average and 4:2:0 as one and a half. This does not include a display link’s transport overhead. [C079A]
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
Video bandwidth: active picture versus the link facts and limitations
For 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz with 8-bit RGB, the active sample arithmetic is 11.943936 Gbit/s. This is an arithmetic example, not evidence that a particular connection can deliver that mode.
