No, it should be able to play HDR 10-bit (format for UHD BDs)  just fine, natively, w/o any downconversion/upconversion. Assuming UHD BD's are rip-able at some point.

The relevancy is not so much BD rips but many other 4K sources probably will follow the then defacto new specifications. Now 10-bit e.g. is rare but I expect this will change rapidly as a lot of recent HD material is already produced with Dolby Vision.

Agree, starting to see some 10-bit HDR clips floating around now.

Here's a YouTube video of the Himedia Q10 Pro presented by the founder of Himedia at the CES 2016

Any chance the Q10Pro will support internal HDD capacity over 4TB?  Right now I fancy the Zappiti Player 4K Duo despite its weakly specs just because of its compatibility with HDD's up to 2x 8TB (later even 2x10TB) but I would much more prefer a much more potent future-proof hardware.

Q10 Pro will support up to 6TB internal Hardrive according to the Himedia's  Youtube video clip.

Q10 Pro will support up to 6TB internal Hardrive according to the Himedia's  Youtube video clip.

Please read my tutorial in the general section on this topic first. Lots of incorrect information floating around about this including on this forum, There is no real new boundary between 2 TB and 16 TB. There is a big one at 2.2 TB though and another one at 17.6 TB to be precise. After reading you understand how and why. A product has the right drivers or does not. For Internal a 64-bit register GPT driver is needed and for External USB the driver needs to support 4K sectors.

My educated guess is that 8 / 10 TB will work just fine both Internal and via USB. Official support is what they tested nothing more or less.
Running 6 TB disks my self even with 5 year old media players both Internal as via USB (official 3 TB Internal only).
Don't own any Himedia products myself but probably applicable to most if not all current products. Just be brave and try it, never came across a case where 3 TB worked and 6/8 TB did not, this regardless official support specifications!

Hey Nice Monkey, Ive just read your tutorial! It's comprehensive yet comprehensible so thank you for that! It puzzles me, that most of the people I know that own a European Q10 were unable to make any HDD larger than 4TB work. Given your info, it seems to just be a matter of initialisation or wrong formatting. Whichever it is, I will make sure to pass on your tutorial and I'm looking forward to make my next gen Q10 work with the Seagate 8TB drive.

They already changed the spec to include 8 TB.

HDMI CEC,  wake on lan?

HDMI CEC is supported. It's buggy in current testing firmware but it should be fixed by launch.

Wake on LAN is supported.
