The Forest HDMI incorporates all the key cable design philosophies of AudioQuest. It uses solid conductors with 0.5% silver, solid high-density polyethylene insulation, and precise signal geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing HDMI performance, and indeed, AudioQuest's HDMI cables elevate audio performance to new heights.

AudioQuest's 18 Gbps high-speed HDMI cables have the required bandwidth for video up to 8K/30 (8 bits, 4:2:0), with a resolution of 7680 x 4320 (over 33 million pixels) at up to 30 frames per second (fps). Frame rates of 24 and 30 fps are the rates used in almost all movies and many television shows.

All of AudioQuest's 18 Gbps high-speed HDMI cables guarantee the 18 Gbps bandwidth required for features such as 8K/30 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) images, and enhanced audio return channel (eARC).

• eARC: Supported by all generations of AudioQuest HDMI "with Ethernet" cables, allowing superior audio performance.
• HDR: Supports high dynamic range (HDR) and dynamic HDR, with frame-by-frame optimization capability.
• Solid Conductors: Eliminate chain reaction distortion and reduce noise.
• Hard Foam Insulation: Ensures critical signal geometry.

AudioQuest's HDMI cables Pearl, Forest, and Cinnamon use active frequency balancing to enable full 18Gbps / 4K UltraHD performance from 10 to 15 meters.
