DisplayPort 1.4 to Use "Lossless" Compression for Higher-Quality 8K Video Over USB-C

The Video Electronics Standards Association yesterday formally reported its new DisplayPort 1.4 standard, setting the stage for enhanced video quality and shading for outer showcase associations over both DisplayPort and USB-C connectors.

As opposed to an expansion in real transfer speed, the enhancements in DisplayPort 1.4 come because of enhanced pressure, exploiting VESA's new Display Stream Compression 1.2 standard to bolster High Dynamic Range (HDR) video up to either 8K determination at 60 Hz or 4K determination at 120 Hz.
DSC adaptation 1.2 transport empowers up to 3:1 pressure proportion and has been regarded, through VESA participation testing, to be outwardly lossless. Together with other new abilities, this makes the most recent variant of DP in a perfect world suited for execution in top of the line electronic items requesting head
sound and picture quality.

Notwithstanding video-related upgrades, DisplayPort 1.4 additionally extends sound capacities with backing for 32 channels, 1536kHz example rates, and more extensive backing for "all known" sound organizations.

The endorsement of DisplayPort 1.4 comes despite the fact that buyers are as yet anticipating the entry of gadgets supporting the past DisplayPort 1.3 standard. Intel had been relied upon to bolster DisplayPort 1.3 in its current Skylake era of chips, however the organization rather picked to offer double DisplayPort 1.2 backing.
As we detailed earlier this year, the lack of DisplayPort 1.3 support in Skylake could lead Apple to hold off on releasing a new 5K Thunderbolt Display until next year when chips supporting the standard become available.

Intel hasn't laid out its DisplayPort support plans beyond Skylake, so it's unknown whether the company will first move to DisplayPort 1.3 or if it can jump straight to the new DisplayPort 1.4 standard. Either way, we're unlikely to see Macs supporting DisplayPort 1.4 until 2017 at the earliest.
