HDMI 2.1: HDR Dynamic Metadata

It clearly shows that you are encountering reflections (similar to microwave propagation) when using such high frequency transmissions with HDMI fixtures.

So we contacted a fellow RF engineer that specialized in connector issues and found that his firm built instrument-grade HDMI connectors. Not cheap, but if it worked we would be home free.

Well, that solved it.

But even for a lab with the right equipment, the intricacies of the yet-to-be-released spec make testing a huge undertaking.

Thats a mouthful, and quite probably a good indicator to amount of time involved to determine if this indeed workable, or is the HDMI.org getting ahead of themselves in their quest for licensing revenue.
