Monday, January 8, 2024

BEAVERTON, Ore., Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®) today announced that it has published the latest update to DisplayPort, version 2.1a. This update replaces the VESA certified DP40 ultra-high-bit-rate (UHBR) cable specification with a new VESA certified DP54 UHBR cable spec to enable up to four-lane UHBR13.5 link rate support (a maximum throughput of 54 Gbps) over a two-meter passive cable. As a result, the DisplayPort 2.1a update effectively doubles the passive cable length for UHBR13.5 GPU-to-display connections—which previously could only be supported through a DP80 UHBR cable—providing consumers with greater flexibility in their gaming or workstation setup.

Key Points: 
  • VESA also announces it has published a new Automotive Extension Services protocol specification for both DisplayPort 2.1a and the latest version of VESA's Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) specification, version 1.5a.
  • Silicon manufacturers are already adopting VESA's Automotive Extension Services protocol today for chipsets that will be integrated in future vehicles.
  • Most automotive displays currently use DisplayPort or eDP to carry video data from the central vehicle computer to the displays.
  • The VESA Automotive Extension Working Group, which is driving the new Automotive Extension specification protocol, is open to all VESA members.
