Arcam and JBL AV receivers to officially get HDMI 2.1 upgrade later this year
0Arcam and JBL AV receivers are set to jump to HDMI 2.1 later this year. Harman Luxury Audio Group, which owns both brands, has announced that some models will be upgradeable to the standard sometime between October and the end of December.
All current Arcam models will be upgradeable – that's the Arcam AVR10, AVR20, AVR30 (pictured) and AV40. These will be joined by the JBL Synthesis SDR-35 and SDP-55.
Upgrading isn't quite as simple as downloading new firmware, though. Instead, you will need an HDMI 2.1 video board retrofitted by an Arcam/JBL Synthesis service centre. Once that's done, you'll have HDMI 2.1 capability on all inputs and outputs.
HDMI 2.1 increases bandwidth capability to 48Gbps – that's up from 18Gbps with HDMI 2.0. It also supports video resolutions up to 10K (so 8K should pose no problem) and frame rates up to 120fps. You will need Ultra High-Speed HDMI cables to take advantage of these new features, and a TV with at least one HDMI 2.1 input.
Harman says the upgrade will futureproof all compatible devices.
