HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

Also showcased is the second-generation VXR8300 bridge IC, a compact 5.5x5mm chip designed for very low power consumption. This bridge IC plays a key role in system integration by converting signals from an Embedded DisplayPort (EDP) interface to a MIPI interface, a common requirement for connecting high-resolution micro displays to host processors in AR/VR headsets and other compact devices.
The VXR8300 bridge IC has been shipping as engineering samples since the previous October and is now nearing the mass production phase. The technology is suitable for real-world products, as shown with a high-end consumer headset that incorporates the display technology. This headset features integrated sensors and cameras, along with a power-saving mode that activates the display upon eye detection.
The combination of a high-density 4Kx4K Micro-OLED panel, a specialized DDSC, and a low-power EDP-to-MIPI bridge IC enables the development of next-generation headsets and near-eye displays. These components are engineered to deliver high-quality visuals while meeting the stringent power and form-factor requirements of wearable devices.
