8K demand continues to grow | VESA pushes 1.4a standard battle

With the rising demand for high-definition audio and video transmission, and the rise of emerging applications such as virtual reality/amplified reality, the demand for ultra-high resolution mobile video streaming has increased dramatically, thus driving the USB Type-C and DisplayPort Alt Mode standards. The product demand growth. The United States Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has also updated the DisplayPort 1.4 standard, the introduction of 8K signal specifications, the introduction of DisplayPort 1.4a to meet market expectations.

Jim Choate, VESA's compliance program manager, said that as consumer demand for high-quality video titles grows, so does the demand for AR/VR-related products.

According to market analysis agency Strategy Analytics, global mobile phone shipments have become saturated, and the compound annual growth rate from 2016 to 2021 is only about 3%; however, shipments of DisplayPort or USB Type-C shipments There will be significant growth. The number of mobile phones, PCs and tablets equipped with native DisplayPort or DisplayPort Alt Mode will grow from nearly 215 million in 2017 to over 345 million in 2018, with a compound growth rate of 61%. By 2021, USB Type will be installed. -C's mobile penetration rate will also reach 70%.

Jim Choate further pointed out that the VESA's latest version of DisplayPort 1.4a has many enhancements, including DisplayPort 8K signal specifications and display stream compression (DSC).

VESA's Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard has been widely reverberated since its launch, resulting in significant advancement in video transmission compression. It has been widely adopted by DisplayPort, HDMI, and MIPI and other major display interface standards. DSC is not only a variety of ultra-high The resolution (UHD) display application provides a lossless image compression mechanism. It also supports high dynamic range (HDR) and 8K video transmission via DisplayPort signal and USB-C interface.

Jim Choate said that DisplayPort 1.4a’s compliance products are currently growing and there are currently dozens of products certified. Next VESA will continue to actively develop the relevant standards required by the next generation. The goal is to increase the bit rate to DisplayPort. 1.4 times twice.
