Interbranch organization Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standard adopted DisplayPort 1.3 (previous version of the standard - 1.2a). Compared with the previous version bandwidth is increased by 50% to 32.4 Gbit / s (8.1 Gbit / s in each of the four lines). Given the overhead of the transmission rate of the uncompressed video stream can reach 25.92 Gbit / s.
Increasing the capacity can increase to a level of resolution monitors 5K (5120 x 2880 pixels).Increased resolution and connecting multiple monitors to a single port using technology DisplayPort Multi-Stream. In particular, it is possible to connect two monitors 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) using the synchronization VESA Coordinated Video Timing.
In DisplayPort 1.3 retained the ability to convert video to VGA, DVI or HDMI, there is support for HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which extends the application of DisplayPort in television applications, including working with 4K video is copy protected. The new standard adds support for the 4: 2: 0, is widely used in consumer television interfaces. Furthermore, improved possibilities for transmission of DisplayPort simultaneously with the other video data, for example, USB 3.0.
To connect UHD-monitor, as mentioned above, will be sufficient to interface the two lines of four. The remaining two will be to put any interface, up to compatibility with interfaces AMD DockPort or Intel Thunderbolt. Thus a single cable with support for DisplayPort 1.3 will replace some versatile interface cable that is certainly convenient.
