"As USB-C and display resolutions beyond 4K become ubiquitous, Cable Matters' USB-C video adapter is among the first to offer 8K performance as specified in HDMI 2.1 over USB-C," said Cable Matters President and CEO Jeff Jiang.
The new adapter is notable for portability, with a sleek design and small form factor enabling it to fit in a laptop or tablet carrying case. The cable is also suited for more permanent installation in a home office or entertainment center.
Cable Matters will also launch its USB-C Video Cable supporting 8K as specified in HDMI 2.1 in early 2021. The Cable Matters USB-C video adapter and cable are just two entries in Cable Matters' line of 8K video products, representing the company's commitment to providing innovative connectivity solutions for the latest in cutting-edge consumer electronics.
Both products utilize the Cayenne family of USB-C video interfaces created by Synaptics. The companies note the Cayenne chipset "provides advanced video features like HDR, ultra high definition resolutions, and fast refresh rates in a secure, universal, low-cost, and low-power design."
"Synaptics' Cayenne chipset enables companies like Cable Matters to provide reliable, high-bandwidth video solutions that push the performance envelope," said Synaptics Senior Marketing Director for Video Interface Products, Jeff Lukanc. "We are proud to work with Cable Matters to bring the industry's first converter chipset supporting 8K as specified in HDMI 2.1 to market with a leading brand in the consumer electronics industry."
