Title: Video hdr10 or hlg through soundbar
Post by: sosuke91 on October 22, 2018, 01:49:01 PM

Sorry if this question was already asked but i cound't actually find it.

I'm going to buy q10pro and i will connect it to my soundbar LG sk9y Dolby Atmos 5.1.2  (not hdr10 or hlg compatible, just 4k passthrough) using hdmi, and the soundbar is connected to my tv LG 55UJ620V (hdr10 and hlg compatible) using hdmi (arc).

My question is: considering Kodi+wrapper makes q10pro video hdr 10 compatible, will the video be hdr10 on tv too? or considering that q10pro will be connected to just a 4k passthrough soundbar it won't be hdr10 but just hdr ?

Thanks for the answers and sorry for my english.

HDR10 is equal to HDR, it's just a shorter term for it. It's possible that the HDR won't work through the Soundbar. HDR requires a HDMI 2.0a bandwidth controller, which may lack in the Soundbar, but in many cases it can be afterwards upgraded to HDR capable by a simple firmware update. So may worth to check that at least.

The other way is to use the ARC from the TV, but it varies hugely, that what TV's could what kind of audio passthrough that way. With a big luck, It may could pass SD 5.1, like DD or DTS, but HD audio is surely out of the question. Needs very cautious diggin' in the TV'S manual regarding.

HLG: as it differs a bit from HDR, I don't know if the HiMedia Pro boxes have current support for it. But my guess would be that they don't.
