AMD Project FreeSync: Q & A with Robert Hallock

MjFrosty said:
The thing is with 4K and this subject in particular is that with DP1.2 and effectively DP1.2a, you're using all the bandwidth. Hence my question to Robert as if you're looking for 4K, especially in a few months then at 4K I'm not sure how the use of adaptive sync will effect bandwidth. There is already a lot of issues with certain certified cables and non cert ones for this very reason

4K doesn't use all of the DP1.2a bandwidth, just most of it. There's no issue, here.

The cabling issues you're referring to have everything to do with cable quality: are they designed well enough to accommodate the high signaling rates of DP1.2 HBR2? Many shoddy cables are not. But that's not a bandwidth issue of the spec.

The reviews say it's not true, the company that sells it says it is, but in other areas of their own site talk of minimising.... I know which I'll chose to believe. What you believe is up to you. Also, given they normally say 'lowest input lag for a tear-free picture' are you sure he said what you think he said? As that doesn't mean the same as no input lag.

I don't know either and was hoping Sam or Robert would tell me why he is wrong.
 
Thank you Warsam for arranging this and thanks to Thracks for answering the questions.

My only problem with this was that the questions most people wanted answered you couldn't answer for various reasons.

But, still appreciate you taking the time to do this :) Thanks again.

Ok, thanks.

Last one from me, promise. Do we have any idea what to expect with Tri-Def and surround where Free-Sync is concerned?

I know it's frustrating that I can't answer all the questions people really want to know. Please understand there are two things in play:

1) Much of the key facts are not mine to share. If people want to know prices, or what panels vendors will be selecting, etc... that's not my right or privilege to share. Monitor vendors make those decisions, not AMD.

2) Other things are protected under NDA. I'm legally obligated to protect the information.

It's no problem Thracks, I wasn't complaining about you at all and understand completely why you couldn't answer.

It's good that you are doing more of these events. Hope the next one is sooner rather than later :D
