This label will help you differentiate between 4K HDMI cables and countefeits

If they pass the test conducted at the HDMI ATC, they will be able to brand and promote their high-performance cables as “Premium High Speed HDMI Cables” or ‘Premium High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet’. Beneath this program, Members will take a look at their HDMI cables at an HDMI Licensed Testing Middle (ATC) to certify that their HDMI cables can reliably assist the complete 18Gbps bandwidth of the HDMI 2.zero Specification, which is what is usually wanted for essentially the most superior video codecs akin to 4K/UltraHD, a large shade gamut, and Excessive Dynamic Vary (HDR).

With the optional certification process in place HDMI says the public could see certified cable as early as the first quarter of 2016. image. The program aims to ensure that high-speed HDMI cables provide full potential for 4K support and Ultra HD content expected for their consumers. “That is why we are launching this proactive program to give consumers absolute peace-of-mind”, said Jeff Park, HDMI Licensing, Technology Evangelist, as Market Watch reported. Part of the program is a best-practices design note and expanded testing requirements. “Consumers can easily identify Premium High Speed HDMI Cables and be confident that their new 4K/UltraHD TVs, sources and cables will deliver an ultra‐reliable, 4K/UltraHD experience”, states Rob Tobias, President of HDMI Licensing, LLC. This will be great help to the manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the customers.

If you’re like me, you’re probably not too picky about your HDMI cable. This label carries a pair of anti-counterfeiting features that work in concert with a companion mobile app. One is a QR code that carries encrypted information that can only be decoded with HDMI’s companion app, while the other is a “secure fingerprint” that uniquely identifies each label to the app. Though government entities worldwide require EMI tests, HDMI Licensing will raise the bar to minimize electronic emissions that could interfere with cellphones, Wi-Fi and other wireless products, the group said.

HDMI Licensing LLC now offers this program to any HDMI Adopter using the HDMI Adopter extranet, and new cables can be sent in for testing today.
