Backwards compatibility with HDMI 1.4

Was wondering if the new (6th gen.) Apple TV 4K was backwards compatible with older equipment. I was hoping to have something that’s future proofed for upgrades (4K/HDMI 2.1) and also operate with my current HDMI 1.4 setup. Thanks to all in advance.

Yes that will work, with the expected feature limitations due to the differences in standards (1080p, etc.)
