The adopter extranet full spec link requires a log in unfortunately.
Do you know if 48 fps will be supported? No news about 10 and 12 bit color too yet I see.
1536khz sample frequency sound, now that is overkill. 192khz is still understandable in a surround setting. It allows finer timing between speakers to create clearer harmonic effects. Also more data points will better represent the original sound curve and introduce less errors during mixing. Yet 1536khz, that's one smooth sound curve, and quite the data rate. 35.1 mbps uncompressed per channel for 1536/24 sound. Though with an 18gbps pipe, 32 1536/24 channels still leaves you with almost 17gbps for picture. I guess they thought why the hell not.
4K 12 bit RGB at 60p is 16.7 Gbps, looking good for 12 bit support, not for 120fps support.
Even at 8 bit RGB 4K120p would be 22.2 Gbps, too much, so no 3D 4K at 60 fps per eye.
(3D 1080p at 60 fps per eye should be in there. That was the reason for the 1.4b spec that morphed into 2.0)
I wonder what support for 21:9 will entail, 5040x2160 spec maybe? Won't fit in the pipe at over 8 bit at 60p.
