Must be an updated Playbar.
Based on what has surfaced, it seems they will be opting for HDMI rather than optics and the image in the invitation hints at some universal remote capabilities.
My guess/hopes are
HDMI-CEC support which will solve the issue of many new TV-remotes not supporting the IR-signal required by the current Playbar for remote-support.
Support for newer standards not supported by the current optical cable; DTS, Dolby Digital Plus and potentially Dolby Atmos
HDMI in and out allowing for control of set-tops, the new Apple TV etc. via the new Playbar's HDMI-CEC
Voice-commands (Alexa and Google when ready) not only for music but also basic control of the TV via HDMI-CEC and other devices, e.g turning the TV on/off, pause and play.

+22I would think they will have to talk airplay2 and google home as well.
Thanks. Keep sharing the updates. The net is bad where I am so I can’t live stream.
Initial impressions...I prefer the current Playbar design 😕
