XMC-1 HDMI 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 Multi-Port Board

[me262]

I wanted to ask this question as the article did not say it:

For the HDMI 2.0/HCDP 2.2 upgrade, will this give the XMC-1 a single full 18gbs HDMI port? I ask because my interest in 2.0, is for RGB Full at 60fps, which is only supported on some products that have HDMI 2.0, same questions for YCBR 4:4:4 at 60fps. I know Kieth had a post about this, however it would be great if he could clarify. I use a computer through the XMC-1, so 4:2:0 is not an option as the chroma compression makes text look pretty nasty. If these points could be clarified that would be great.

Thanks!

The single-input HDMI 2.0 board supports 9 gbs (as per the requirements of the HDMI 2.0 spec).
Note: this fully supports the 4:2:0 chroma subsampling used on the new 4k Blu-Ray discs.

The higher 18 gbs rate is a new requirement of HDMI 2.0a, and is planned for the multi-port HDMI 2.0a board available later.
HDMI 2.0a is required to support HDR and 4k computer video with 4:4:4 subsampling.
Note that some 4k TVs support 4:4:4 subsampling, but many do not, so, if that's a requirement for you, then you need to check the specs on the particular model of TV you have or plan to get.

Now that KeithL has answered the question on the multi-port HDMI 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 board I'm closing this thread and going to sticky it for a while so others can easily have their question answered without having to weed through pages of off-topic.
