VESA announced the first batch of DisplayPort UHBR video source and display device certification
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has announced that the first video sources and displays supporting DisplayPort UHBR (Ultra-high Bit Rate), the higher data link rates supported by DisplayPort standard version 2.0, have passed the DisplayPort UHBR certification program. Chip and display designs from AMD, MediaTek, and Realtek have met the PHY, link, and interoperability test requirements outlined in the DisplayPort 2.0 Conformance Test Specification (CTS).
UHBR supports a variety of higher bandwidth use cases, such as delivering uncompressed 8K 60Hz HDR, 4K 240Hz HDR, two 4K 120Hz HDR, or four 4K 60Hz HDR displays on a single cable. VESA will be presenting using AMD and MediaTek equipment at the Display Symposium and Exhibition in San Jose, CA, USA, May 10-12, 2022.
VESA said the VESA DisplayPort Authorized Test Center (ATC) is ready to begin testing and certifying UHBR end products. Products that pass the DisplayPort UHBR certification program can use the VESA-certified DisplayPort logo and become a reference device for end-use product interoperability testing. In addition to AMD, MediaTek, and Realtek, more VESA member companies are currently undergoing certification for video sources and displays. In addition, the new DP40 and DP80 UHBR certified cables are certified and available for sale.
“We are delighted to continue our deep collaboration with VESA on developing the DisplayPort 2.0 UHBR ecosystem through use of AMD Ryzen™ 6000 Series processor as a certified reference source device,” said Syed Athar Hussain, VESA board vice-chairman and AMD CVP and display domain senior fellow. “The DisplayPort UHBR Certification Program will ensure sources, cables, and displays interoperate seamlessly and build a robust ecosystem that delivers the full potential of DisplayPort 2.0 UHBR technology. UHBR rates defined by the DisplayPort standard represent a new paradigm for display connectivity, with unprecedented bandwidth to facilitate smooth gaming, efficient video playback, and greater than 8K-resolution professional displays.”
