Spectra7's HT8181 chipset is ramping up

From AVSForum...

Full disclosure, I'm on the Monoprice development team. The new lines of active HDMI cables use the Spectra 7 HT8181 chipset, specifically designed around HDMI 2.0 compliance. Monoprice was one of the first vendors to get the ball rolling with the HT8181 and it's difficult being first sometimes. We should see other manufactures launching their HT8181 cables in the next several months in time for the holidays.

Monoprice has worked closely with Spectra7, whom is formerly known as Redmere, for many years and Monoprice helped make the Redmere name synonymous with high speed active HDMI cables. We were very early adopters of the technology and in turn one of the first cables out there. The existing Luxe and Cabernet Series Cables share a now legacy chipset that was optimized to 18Gbps of bandwidth but were designed well before HDMI 2.0 was a thing, this is the next evolution of the same tech.

More information on the HT8181 chipset can be found on Spectra 7s website.

With that said, we've ran these new series of cables through the same paces as the SlimRunAV HDR cables and have the added benefit of ARC compatibility.

I don't mean for this to be a /r/hailcorporate type post. Please reach out to me via PM if you have any questions. i don't want to lead the thread off topic.

Sophic Capital on twitter also posted some tweets of a link that is supposed to show 2 S7 chips in the new Acer VR headset.
