As I understand it, the original sin with HDMI was basing it on twisted pair copper. It's just too fragile for such high throughput real time data transfer.
Maybe differential signal processing is advancing faster than video bandwidth requirements, and HDMI will settle down. If not, then HDMI needs a new physical medium. Fiber if it's cost effective and installer friendly enough; otherwise coax.
Yep
Just was listening to a Q&A with the creators of the new HDMI 2.1 spec. It's amazing to me that these guys rattle off all the great new features for 2.1, which is now going to supposedly push the data rate to 48GBPS and handle 8K, BUT, then you ask them how long the copper based cable can be, and the answer is, "um, yeah, it will be limited to 3-5 Meters. What is wrong with these people????
By the way, FIX the friggin audio delay problems for goddsake.
