The HDMI 1.4 specification offers the following enhanced functionalities:
- 100 Mbps Ethernet Channel to enable high-speed bi-directional communication between the HDTV and source component (Blu-ray player, set-top box, game console, etc.). This can eliminate running an extra Ethernet cable to the HDTV for those HDTVs desiring Internet access.
- Audio Return Channel to enable the HDTV to send an audio stream to the A/V receiver, eliminating the need for an extra audio cable.
- 3D Over HDMI (in conjunction with the new CEA-861 specification) defines common 3DTV formats and resolutions (up to dual-stream 1080p60), standardizing the input/output portion of the home 3DTV system.
- 4Kx2K Resolution Support to enable HDMI to transmit content at the same resolution as many digital theaters (3840×2160p24/p25/p30 or 4096×2160p24).
- Expanded Support For Color Spaces (sYCC601, Adobe RGB and AdobeYCC601) for better digital camera support.
- Micro HDMI Connector is a significantly smaller 19-pin connector that supports up to 1080p resolutions for portable devices.
