DisplayPort 1.3 continues to support video conversion to VGA, DVI and HDMI. DisplayPort 1.3 adds support for HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which enhances DisplayPort's utility for television applications, including 4K video with copy protection. The new standard adds support for the 4:2:0 pixel structure, a video format commonly used on consumer digital television interfaces, which enables support for future 8K x 4K displays.

DisplayPort 1.3 also enhances DisplayPort's value for multi-function interfaces that combine data transport, A/V transport and other capabilities on a single cable. It further refines protocols that enable DisplayPort to share a single cable with other data types. With its higher 8.1 Gbps per-lane link rate, DisplayPort 1.3 can support a single UHD monitor with 60Hz refresh and 24-bit color over two lanes, while assigning the remaining two lanes to increase capacity for alternate data types, such as SuperSpeed USB data, as allowed in DockPort. DisplayPort is the A/V transport standard used by DockPort, Thunderbolt and other wired and wireless multi-function interface standards.

"While becoming a mainstream video standard, DisplayPort continues to be at the cutting edge of A/V transport," said VESA Board of Directors Chair Alan Kobayashi, Fellow & Executive R&D Management for DisplayPort Group at MegaChips Technology America. "These new enhancements to DisplayPort will facilitate both higher resolution displays, as well as easier integration of DisplayPort into multi-protocol data transports, which will satisfy consumer's desire for simplicity and ease-of-use."

The DisplayPort standard is offered to VESA members without any license fee.

DisplayPort FTW

I wonder when we will begin to see DP 1.3 devices?

probably 2015

i hope they start putting DP on TV's now, i know is very hard for it to replace HDMI atm but would be nice if it was complementary to it like a tv that has 3 hdmi inputs and one DP

Get console makers onboard.

i just wish display-port was the standard. everything seems to sue HDMI, all because of that weird command transfer function that i have never seen being used before.

the people on the HDMI "board" are big players and they will never let go off HDMI because of the royalties they get from them

 

i dont think they will even consider it

[Ren]

A bunch of people the other day were trying to convince me that HDMI is still relevant..

Yeah, about that.. Dunno why they kept ignoring me when I mentioned DP. I'm just gonna assume that way too many people are clueless and that's why HDMI is still a thing.

i know this, its why i said to be complementary , i ain't going to kill them to put at least one DP on a 55" TV plagued with HDMI's inputs

lol displayport supports HDMI 2.0 BEFORE HDMI 2.0 is even out XDDD

 

watch we start to see people using adapters since HDMI 2 is still being delayed next year...

Yep, people that arent interesting in the computer side of things have no idea what DP even is. Its sad really.

display port should be the first connector added to any device then they can add everything else

Guess VESA isn't pushing Adaptive Sync on 1.3.

[BroliviaWilde]

It looks like it should support it.  The clue here is: "... video (A/V) standard. An update to the widely used DisplayPort 1.2a standard...". 

[LukaP]

AS is on 1.2a and this just upgrades.

year baby mega pixel make excited, can all most view my 21mp photos in native res.

[Techhog]

Guess VESA isn't pushing Adaptive Sync on 1.3.

Of course it supports it...

i got a 20MP camera, would like to take so awesome photos for my wallpaper

So that's why 980 has 3x DP.

 

To be fair the leap to DP over HDMI/DVI needs to happen for PCs.

I really don't understand why graphics cards have 2x DVI ports. 1 HDMI and 2-3x DP ports should be standard. Asus' Area III is dumb, since it only has 1 DP port, supporting only 1 Adaptive Sync monitor. Makes no sense.

actually 3 AS monitors. display port can be daisied up to 3 displays with 1080/1440p iirc

Not sure is AS can support saisychaining though? I don't know. But 3x monitors @1440 and 60+fps?

it should. and 1.3 will be able to 1440p from one port for sure.
