| FAQs - hosted by Key Digital's System Design Group |
| Q. |
Are there any known issues with HDMI 2.0 and HDR in Custom Video Installations |
| A. |
There are some real problems encountered with the new high-bandwidth UHD/4K signals. These HDMI 2.0 features may look great, but are way over bandwidth of most products in the field:
- Resolution: 4096x2160p
- Frame Rate: 60Hz
- Color Spacing: [4:4:4]
- Deep Color: 12bit
- HDR: 10bit
Problem: Customer will have no signal, even with just a long cable.
Reason:
- Sources (bad): Even BRP Menu is at 4K/60 [444], HDR10, 12bit Deep Color
- Displays (bad): Give full bandwidth EDID without any adjustments:
Solution:
Here is a current list of Key Digital Products with HDR as part of every handshake. This, along with other EDID information, informs the source to output an acceptable signal:
- KD-DA1x2, KD-DA1x4
- KD-X222, KD-X222PO
- KD-Pro4x1, KD-Pro2x1
- KD-2x1CSK2.2, KD-4x1CSK2.2
- KD-HDFix22
- KD-Pro6x6CC, KD-Pro8x8CC
Notes:
There are some GOOD sources and displays would not need HDR Buffering:
- Displays (good): Have adjustable settings
- LG, Sony (both have deep color EDID off by defaults)
Settings in TV menu:
- LG: UHD Deep Color EDID is set to OFF
- Note: LG currently having problem with HDBaseT
- Sony: Enhancement is set to OFF
- Sources (good): Have adjustable settings
- Panasonic BRP
- Xbox One
- PS4 Pro
