HDMI 2.2 overview

HDMI 2.2 extends the specification’s aggregate bandwidth ceiling to 96 Gbit/s.

Also called HDMI 2.2 Ultra96 HDMI96

A specification maximum is not a promise for every product.

The useful distinction

Document the exact port, cable and accessory feature set. The atlas does not infer an arbitrary display mode from a headline bandwidth number.

HDMI LA’s Ultra96 device feature name can indicate a maximum of 64Gbps, 80Gbps or 96Gbps; the feature name alone does not identify which maximum the device implements.

Device feature naming, not the separate Ultra96 HDMI cable certification class.

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

HDMI 2.2 extends the specification’s aggregate bandwidth ceiling to 96 Gbit/s. [C038A]

HDMI LA’s Ultra96 device feature name can indicate a maximum of 64Gbps, 80Gbps or 96Gbps; the feature name alone does not identify which maximum the device implements. [C038B]

Verified device listNot included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

This is a scoped requirements guide, not an interoperability certification. It does not test hardware, calculate an arbitrary display timing, or replace the exact product documentation. A missing capability stays unknown.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Read the manufacturer’s mode list for both endpoints.
  2. Check the cable category and any converter restrictions.
  3. Do not label an unknown HDMI port as 96 Gbit/s because of its shape.
