HDMI Forum, a non-profit mutual benefit corporation has now officially announced the release of Version 2.0 of the HDMI Specification which will be available to current HDMI 2.0 adopters via the HDMI Adopter Extranet.

The new HDMI 2.0 specification has been updated to enable transmission of HDR formats, which should provide enhanced picture quality by providing greater detail in both dark and bright parts of an image and includes references to CEA-861.3, which is CEA's latest update for HDR Static Metadata Extensions.

"We recognized that HDR would be a critical feature as the industry evolves. Our support for HDR enables our 800+ HDMI 2.0 Adopters to develop market-leading products that include HDR and will maintain interoperability across the entire HDMI ecosystem," said Robert Blanchard, President of the HDMI Forum, Inc. "Along with the publication of the CEA extensions, the HDMI Forum continues to update the HDMI Specification and remain closely aligned with leading CE standards organizations."

"By adding HDR, the HDMI Specification continues its history of supporting the latest formats and technologies planned for Hollywood content," said Arnold Brown, Chairman of the HDMI Forum, Inc. Board of Directors.
