Dolby Vision with HDFury Vertex2

Hi All,

I have been following the discussion on DV - but am unsure on the following.
Would it be possible to output Dolby Vision content from the Vero V with HDFury Vertex2?

Thanks

Not sure about the exact wording you are using. But the Vero V will not output DV regardless of the connected device.
The Vero V will be outputting DV (Profile 5) sources as HDR10 if the receiving device supports it.

OK thanks - I guess this is because i really don’t know what I’m talking about :slight_smile:

I’ll do some more reading - but seems this isn’t worth really looking in to

@fzinken is correct. The HDFury trick is to make a DV-enabled player think it is connected to a DV-enabled display (capable of understanding ‘LLDV’) when you actually have a non-DV display. Vero V is not a DV-enabled player.

Does it still not work with the March update?

I have a Vertex 2 and unfortunately I can’t get a DV with the Vero.

It works with the Apple TV.

No it doesn’t work. Vero cannot output LLDV. Your display would need to support Standard DV to get proper DV output.

What a pity! That would be great.

I’m resurrecting this thread as it didn’t seem worthwhile creating a new one for a related question and lots of the other threads predate the ‘new’ kernel.

I take from the above discussion that there is no way to make the Vero supply a DV signal to a 4k panel (Panasonic GZ1000) through the Vertex2.

When I play an mkv with DV and HDR, I get the HDR flag on my panel but the picture seems to be a bit darker than I expected on the past couple of shows I have watched - in indoor scenes especially. I think something is not quite right, but I don’t know where to start checking - it seems to be an issue with files with both DV and HDR.

I can see what format the Vero is pushing to the Vertex2, but I don’t know what it should be.

That depend on the capability of that display (I haven’t seen that discussed here). So if you share the logs we could comment.

GZ1000 does not do TV-led DV IIRC. Vero will be outputting HDR10. Vertex should be indicating HDR YUV.

Thanks all - let me get it settled down (and my second system with a G5) and I will be back in to ask for a check on what’s happening.

Let us know how you get on. There was a problem with G5s which LG solved with a recent firmware update I understand.

Yes, that’s right. I believe @WilliamG had a similar issue and it was solved by a firmware update.
