Compromising with Video-Over-Fiber and Compression
IN A PERFECT WORLD, higher resolutions, expanded color and enhanced contrast would be no issue for existing copper cables. Unfortunately, in reality, physics limits the distance that copper cables can transmit real 4K signals. While short distances are OK, copper HDMI cables have signal integrity problems over longer distances and IP-based solutions require compression, which introduces different types of problems for 4K video.
