I need clarification on CE21 (ne) Dolby Vision MEL capability on S905X4.
All the cheap S905X4 boxes use the S905X4 without -K or -J. The boxes coming with -K or -J cost more.
(1) Does that mean that I won’t be able to play Dolby Vision content with the boxes that do not have a -K or -J chip? So do I need a S905X4-K or -J so that CE can play DV?
(2) The Kinhank G1, the RokTec G2 and the Ugoos X4Q Extra seem to be the only boxes that comes with the “-K” or “-J” version. Are there others?
So it doesn’t make a difference whether the box has a S905X4 or a S905X4-J or a S905X4-K when running CE21 ne, it always falls back to HDR10 (except P5)?
Yes, I got it. Initially I missed the Mel part on the title. Usually people want Fel and usually they are not told point blank that the only worthy options are those with the s922xj Soc. So we have endless questions about s928xj or even more unworthy socs.
This is a moot point discussing as the preference for hardware decoding options depends on the media sourcing of a person.
However, what does make sense is being clear about what one’s requirements are and then matching that against the capabilities of available chipsets and boxes.
