We are always working on new products, but don’t discuss the development of them in advance. We have a hardware roadmap, but it’s worth noting that the Vero 4K + hasn’t been on the market for a year yet, so there’s not going to be an update for a long time.
Dolby Vision is listed as a specification of a number of AML chips since S912. The story behind this is a little more involving; but for Dolby Vision to be implemented HDCP2.2 must be implemented and there must be a Trusted Execution Environment implementation. The -J variant of the chip must be used, ie. S912J or S905X2J. This chip is only available after licensing with Dolby Labs and is otherwise not available for AMLogic customers without their consent.
So saying that Dolby Vision is ‘supported’ by these SoCs is slightly incorrect. For Dolby Vision compatibility, SBC manufacturers would have needed to reach an agreement with Dolby in advance of manufacture.
The S922X is not an appropriate SoC for a future iteration of hardware.
