It also means enough bandwidth to power two 4K monitors (with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 each) simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, DisplayPort 1.4 supports other new key features like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Forward Error Correction<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 FEC, which overlays the DSC 1.2 transport, addresses the transport error resiliency needed for compressed video transport to external displays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>HDR meta transport<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 HDR meta transport uses the \u201csecondary data packet\u201d transport inherent in the DisplayPort standard to provide support for the current CTA 861.3 standard, which is useful for DP to HDMI 2.0a protocol conversion, among other examples. It also offers a flexible metadata packet transport to support future dynamic HDR standards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Expanded audio transport\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 This spec extension covers capabilities such as 32 audio channels, 1536kHz sample rate, and inclusion of all known audio formats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DisplayPort will also be available via DisplayPort and USB-C connectors, which will do wonders for the proliferation of the standard.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesa.org\/featured-articles\/vesa-publishes-displayport-standard-version-1-4\/\" target=\"_blank\">VESA<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>On the topic of the latest hardware<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/86596-usb-3-1-type-c-and-thunderbolt-3-compared-the-uses-for-each.html\">USB 3.1, Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 compared: the uses for each<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/86516-samsungs-portable-2tb-ssd.html\">Samsung\u2019s portable 2TB SSD, the T3<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/86506-wireless-connections-100-times-faster-than-wi-fi-li-fi.html\">Wireless connections 100 times faster than Wi-Fi: Li-Fi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Display Stream Compression 1.2, a single DisplayPort 1.4 has the bandwidth to power dual-4K monitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":86720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[11489,14016,17432,17434,1085,17436,1969],"class_list":["post-86718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-4k","tag-8k","tag-displayport-1-4","tag-forward-error-correction","tag-hardware-2","tag-hdr-meta-transport","tag-news-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
