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.
It is not quite as bad as one would believe based on the webinar.
8 meters of copper is ready when needed and we are working on 15 to 20 meters copper options now.
Fiber will of course tak us there as well.
I was supposed to be part of the answer panel but they somehow lost me, but you can relax a bit because at least as far as connectivity is concerned everything will be in place before the HDMI 2.1 roll out.
