TV HDR Mode: OTHER

[Lex]

What really makes the TV HDR mode: OTHER?
I play my movies only on the internal hard disk. If the film by setting OTHER untouched passed through the Hi-media?
Because the HDMI video color space setting is grayed out.
Thank you for your answers

Although Video color space setting is greyed out, it shows "YCbCr444 8bit"
And I believe this same colour space setting is automatically applied when you chose TV HDR Mode "Other"
I have no idea what other changes the "other" mode does!

Agreed. The colour space and HDR settings need explanation and suggested settings by Himedia. Now it is a wild guess.

OTHER is Dolby Vision.

OTHER is Dolby Vision.

Thanks a lot for that piece of information. Very interesting and does make sense indeed.
As the actual implementation on UHD BD with Dolby Vision has not been standardized yet, the factual support even by the Hisillicon SOC will remain undefined till the standard is officially specified and ratified.  Valid reason to label it "Other".

Now waiting for the information for when to use what settings under which conditions.

Thank you. Which color space is then applied or nothing (passthrough)?

An answer here will be great:)

Bt2020 is activated with HDR mode (10 and Dolby Vision) in my LG uh850v (uh8500).

This week I upgraded my TV set to a new LG 65 UH850V with support of HDR and DV. I observe that Himedia does not support HDR10 at 2160p 60... Is that correct?

This is one of the reasons I am a bit shocked there is no manual for q10/5 Pro.

No one really knows what some of the options are they just speculate what they are.  Would be nice to have an actual manual...like almost every hardware device on the market has.

Please explain how you got this information.  Or are you just guessing?

Doesn't really make sense to have HDR yet call Dolby Vision other does it?  Misinformation is the worst kind of information

See the related topic: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1252.0 where I make the conclusion Himedia is completely on the wrong track here.

Calling DV (Dolby Vision) "Other" is something I can understand very well though. It would implicitly mean support for Dolby Vision as a commitment. DV is more than just HDR and the standard is still wet. The box is definitely not certified by Dolby Laboratories either. Even all currently sold UHD 4K Blu Ray players lack support for DV.

The thing is though how do we actually know Other is Dolby Vision?  Has it been confirmed by Himedia or is it speculation and guess work?

What's its relevance? Unless you expect it is a magical setting improving PQ a lot? Tried it myself in practice but no magic there.
No DV material around neither, so not way to test it that way. No guarantee that DV support will be included later either.

Ermm your missing my point.  People in here are saying Other is DV..  I am asking how they know this or have they guessed? 
My main point is I wish Himedia would actually release a manual with all functionality of all settings.  Personally I prefer to know exactly what each setting is doing rather than just selecting something and guessing what it does.
