Industrial Organization VESA, updated specifications of video outputs DisplayPort Dual-Mode. First , the changes will be reflected in the work of adapters DisplayPort-to-HDMI: it will be possible to support the resolution specified standard HDMI 1.4 (in particular, Ultra HD with frame rates of 30 Hz, stereoscopic Full HD at 60 Hz Full HD with increased color depth).
Technically, this allow an increase in the frequency of the signal TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) with 165 MHz, used with the Full HD video with a frame rate of 60 Hz and 24-bit color coding, up to 300 MHz.
Adapters that comply with DisplayPort Dual-Mode 1.1, called Type 2, now named their predecessors Type 1. For some systems, implementation for new specifications support will be available after the software modifications. In addition, Type 2 adapters retain compatibility with output DisplayPort Dual-Mode, but the frequency of the signal TMDS for such a combination will be limited to 165 MHz.
