Q: Does the mac mini 2012 also do hdmi 1.4a or 1.4b? or only 1.4?

Am about to purchase latest mac mini and am concerned that it does not do the latest type of hdmi, since it lists only 1.4 (released 2009) whereas wikipedia lists version 1.4a and 1.4b as being more recent than that. I do know that there is a new version 2.0 but ma not interested in that since my other hardware doesnt support that anyway.

Anyone know EXACTLY which hdmi standard the latest new mac mini is ??

thanks, jamie

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    thanks. Still looking specifically for the hdmi info however, since we are not doing blu-ray playback. We are sending side-by-side stereo video to a 3D projector that decodes it, but we need to be able to send 1.4a or 1.4b not just the previous version which was called 1.4 (wiuthout the a or b siffix). However since Mac only lists the hdmi as 1.4 it is not clear what they mean... although I would normally expect a manufacturer to say EXACTLY what the specs are, not to just generalise. That's why I am concerned about buying one without finding the answer to this first.... Anyone else know?

    thanks
