Windows 10: HDMI Forum Announces Version 2.1 of the HDMI Specification

HDR won't enable!

Unfortunately they don't make DP 1.4 to HDMI yet, you might have to wait until the next HDMI standard is released, 2.1 iirc.

Why can't you use an HDMI cable from your GPU to your TV? That's what I do and HDR works flawlessly, at least it did until today when the issue I described above started happening.

Hi,

The HDMI In capability of the alienware method was only to route the HDMI directly to the laptop's panel.

There is a specific "webcam protocol" that hardware adheres to to be used as a webcam. HDMI is definitely not part of it. You need a to capture the HDMI input first, the output a compressed stream as an input device.

Kind Regards:

Hi there

Unfortunately some of these advvances come at a price -- not necessarily money costs.

This new HDMI standard has so much encryption / DRM that you will only be able to play content on a specific device -- this is IMO a backward step - particularly for people on the move,

Streaming isn't always the best solution either -- loads of times you want the convenience of being able to download content to play later -- or you might not want to or have the time to watch the entire program in one session when it's being streamed.

I've enough problems with current 4K content -- that's almost impossible to download to play on other devices already.

I LIKE new technology - but not at the expensive of convenience and portability.

I'm also a bit sceptical in what size TV you would actually need in a home to really distinguish between 4K and 8K content -- with the building of ever smaller units of accommodation these days I really can't see a 120 inch TV or bigger being able to squeeze into a typical N.Y or L.A apartment. !!!!

That was always the intended purpose of HDMI.

Any end user benefits are unintentional and completely coincidental.

 

Couldn't have said it better *Biggrin
