A new UltraHD interconnect certification will be introduced by THX (Renaissance Hospitality Suites). The programme will be applicable for HDMI cables supporting the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth requirements. Two testing tracks, for passive and active cables, are included in the programme. While the majority of HDMI cables today perform “flawlessly” with HD content, “[A] significant portion…specifically in lengths of five metres and greater, can demonstrate faults when passing high bandwidth content such as 4k 60fps”, said THX testing manager Mike Del Santo. Australian brand Kordz will be the best company worldwide to offer THX Certified-HDMI cables, and will show them at CES.
