Question about HDMI Receivers v1.2 vs. 1.3 - Blu-ray Forum

FilmFiend · 04-23-2008, 05:22 PM

Thanks for the info welwynnick, that's what I wanted to know. So a HDMI v1.2 Receivers's passthrough will give me the exact picture quality for my Blu-rays and Games as would a v1.3. I guess the only thing I have to make sure is that the receiver passes 1080p/24... I guess its a marketing thing to make people thing that 1.3 is a great improvement over 1.2.... I was wondering about the lypsync feature on 1.3 ... does it make that much of a difference, or does 1.2 have something similar?

I haven't seen a need for any lip-sync stuff yet... But I guess my sony receiver and PS3 handshake very well.. I had the dg910 with hdmi 1.2 and it passed 1080/24p fine.. So to beat a dead horse.. yeah all you will need is a receiver with 1.2 and can pass 1080/24p..

Testing specifications are greater on HDMI 1.3 as well.
But yes, 1080p24 would be the one to look for and I don't think many pre-1.3 receivers support it.

All HDMI V1.2 essentially gives you over V1.1 is DSD support for SACD playback.

FWIW my Sony DA7100ES with HDMI V1.1 carries 1080p24 quite happily, though I understand it won't do this from an Xbox 360 or some Toshibas.
