HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D / Re: Browser and picture resolution
« on: May 11, 2016, 07:09:13 PM »
Thanks.
In Dolphin reported resolution is 1920x1080 and in browsing is clear more resolution than Chrome.
An interesting solution is in Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/ro/questions/981038
http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/resolution.html
The script should show the "effective" screen resolution along with the device pixel ratio, yielding the true screen resolution.
Assuming the device pixel ratio is closer to 3 than to 1, you can try editing a hidden setting to see whether it improves things.
Open a new tab, and type or paste about:config in the address bar and tap the Enter key on the keyboard. You may want to bookmark this page for future tweaking.
In the search box, type css and then tap the Enter key on the keyboard.
When you find layout.css.devPixelsPerPx tap the Modify button and change the value to 1.0 (typically, you just need to delete the - sign). Tap the OK button.


After that my screen resolution is still 1920x1080 (true screen resolution)

HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D / Browser and picture resolution
« on: May 11, 2016, 12:57:22 PM »
Could you please check:
1. Browser resolution at http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/. On my q5 it reports only 720p...
2. Picture from https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/ae70077004a60be43d8cb6bd23a26bc920160511115532/242e78d241b5f79a9e72fea384b08bd620160511115532/652b94. On internal player resolution is very bad, about 720p, on Kodi resolution is good, at full 1080p (you should see distinct lines)
3. Pictures from https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4ijp-kf8RV0bDNUSXM5ZVQ1SVE&usp=sharing. Setting interface to 2160p/24 or 30 has no effect on internal browser, on Kodi it's a little better but it's not ok compared to TV internal player (Samsung 55HU7500).
Thanks.

What about AAC surround, is a license or platform issue?

Only someone with DTS-X can response to your question.
My receiver from DTS-X or Auro clips receives DTS-Hd Master, from Atmos receives TrueHD.

Could you post a verbose mediainfo for one of your DTS:X files, please?
Sorry for delay, I attached mediainfo text.

HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D / Re: Q5 4K3D. 5-NOV-2015. FIRMWARE HMD-3.0.2 FUTEKO-EN
« on: December 01, 2015, 08:05:12 AM »
Two bugs remains in this firmware:
1. Decoding surround AAC to surround LPCM, still outputs only stereo PCM
2. Himediaplayer doesn't load external subtitles for DLNA/upnp source. Kodi works fine for same source (DVDplayer, not wrapper client).

HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D / Re: Q5 and HDMI-CEC problem
« on: November 28, 2015, 07:51:07 AM »
Well, for me the CEC problem has a solution somehow strange. I have Q5, bluray (both in Yamaha receiver on hdmi 2/hdmi 1) ans Samsung with ARC.
If I start TV and receiver I have no ARC from TV to receiver, unless I start Q5.
If I start Q5 and receiver/TV I have no sound from q5 (receiver started on hdmi2) unless I chenge receiver to hdmi 1 and again on hdmi 2/
If I start bluray, receiver, TV I have no control to sound from TV remote unless I start Q5...
It will be great if CEC could be disabled from Q5 settings, otherwise looun's solution (to cut pin 13) is best...

HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D / Surround AAC decoding
« on: November 09, 2015, 06:49:14 AM »
Hello,
I have a new question: is it possible to decode surround AAC and bitstream to multiple channel PCM on HDMI?
With last firmware surround AAC are bitstreamed only in stereo PCM, no matter what I do.
As far as I know there is no direct AAC bitstream support on HDMI 1.4 (only in 2.0).
I know that it's best to avoid any recoding and preserve original soundtrack (truehd, hdmaster) but there are many movies encoded with surround AAC sound for which I don't bother to search other encode.
Some small samples for AAC are at https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html and http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/

And another not very important question, I find that this demo bluray http://www.avsforum.com/forum/19-dedicated-theater-design-construction/1491761-best-demo-discs-demo-disc-bd9-dvd-dl.html outputs truehd as zero PCM (no sound) if played from structure and normal/truehd if we play individual file from structure. I know it's related to bluray structure (other movies play fine) but it's curious.
Thanks!

Many thanks for your support, I'm happy with my q5.
I think this tread can be close as solved. Maybe I will come on another thread with little questions (like decoding multichannel AAC sound).

As a sugestion from another forum member, using Q5 4K3D. 11-SEP-2015. FIRMWARE HMD-3.0.1.1 FUTEKO-EN.zip
- HiMedia / Display/  Screen size Position changing settings from remote to maximum zoom (it wasn't set by default on maximum/screen fit). Using this settings output is correct for any pattern.
If it was mentioned on FAQ sorry if I didn't read, on 1.0.4 I didn't change this and I suppose it's default on screen fit.

One aditional word for users. If you have 4k TV always use 4k (2160p) resolution.
1pix patterns (horzpix1.ts and vertpix1.ts) looked bad on 1080p60 settings on my 4k TV using Himedia 1.0.4 (but looks good on same TV using my bluray player, my TV upscale in this case to 4k).
Changing resolution to 2160p30Hz and all is perfect!

Thank you for your tests.
First: no, it's not ok the picture from your test, at the bottom (near the number 128-0) you must have 4 different lines, not one solid thick line. If you play the clip on a PC the difference it's obvious from TV screen, you have 4 distinct lines up to 1080 number.
Second: I put info on my pictures, LG fullscreen means the clip is played from my LG bluray player (used for comparison). So the pause is from my bluray player
Third: using original firmware (1.0.4-Q5EN.1000) brings much better resolution, see pics in this post

Himedia 1.0.4 macro

Himedia 1.0.4 full screen

Himedia 3.0.1 using Kodi DVD player


The improvement in resolution is also visible in movies but this clip captures the exact situation (see lines in macro pictures are distinct almost up to 1080 mark).
So it's a firmware/driver issue (if it works with first firmware), not a malfunction from my mediaplayer.
I also put macro from Kodi DVD Player just for the sake of comparison.

I also welcome anyone feedback using not only this pattern but also other patterns mentioned (4k pattern still don't look good on 1.0.4 4k pattern after a short modifyings settings looks perfect with this firmware). It's important to use standard patterns to achieve constant/repeatable/comparable results.
Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply.
That settings was on. I turned off, Maintain aspect ratio put to 'keep ratio' but the same problem. Restarted to be sure this settigs are applied, same results. Played with all settings in that menu (Sharpness, Superresolution, etc) but no effect.
If you have time please download and test yourself the clip, if for you it's ok then I have to return my mediaplayer as defective.

I added images to show exactly the problem.
Himedia fullscreen
LG fullscreen
Himedia player macro
LG macro
All original pics can be downloaded from https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/75acbb622dc0f7028df5cc8a9e23657720151101081632/9f0290 and includes a macro on Himedia Q5 using Kodi (DVD player)

As you can see, using Himediaplayer lines are blurred for more than 700 resolution.


Those who passed this test can (if they want) see more resolution tests. At. http://www.w6rz.net/ there are 2 sections, Horizontal Resolution Patterns and Vertical Resolution Patterns which has 2 files, horzpix1.ts and vertpix1.ts.
These files has 1 pixel width alternating black/white lines, usefull to verify at which distance from TV you see distinct lines (relation between your eyes, diagonal, distance from TV). Well, on Himediaplayer at whatever distance we see only a gray mess, clips are fine running from my TV player or using bluray player.
Who passes the 1080p resolution test can go further downloading thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppz41EmaJyU pattern (using a downloader that knows to grab 4k resolution, like YTD Downloader) and check 100% column (which also has 1 pixel alternating black/white vertical column). It's usefull not only for checking player resolution but also minimum distance for diagonal at which we see true 4k resolution.
