NEW Information:
The efficientgaming.eu papers I cited saying the Launch PS4 and XB1 are UHD capable now conflict with a required compliance report from Microsoft for the 2013 XB1 which states it is a HD capable console. The Sony compliance reports for the 2013 and 2015 PS4 still say they are...
For the PS4:
"Polaris 10 can use GDDR5 late 2016 130 Watt TDP less than $299 retail." = about 4TF and the XB1 has to use Vega because they still have ARM IP in the APU. Vega is about 1.5X more efficient than Polaris = 6TF at 130 TDP.
PS4.5 should come early 2017 and XB1 II late 2017...
Letters to the EU energy board (April 2015) have the following released last month:
1) UHD Capable released in 2013 (XB1 and PS4) will be firmware updated in 2016. UHD Media is delivered as IP using HTML5 and ATSC 3.0 (UHD Antenna TV) includes DRM which is also required for Vidipath and UHD...
What we already know is that the Custom Panasonic HDMI chip in the PS4 is NOT a HDMI 1.4 chip as it's not listed in Panasonic's on-line catalog of HDMI 1.4 chips. We know that the PS4 and XB1 are officially listed UHD Capable and the PS3 with a HDMI 1.4 is listed as HD not UHD. We know the MS...
If they were going to support Vidipath then they would have announced so. Or a Downloadable Security Scheme, or DVR ...opps, Microsoft has announced that, or support for Netflix UHD....opps, they have hinted at that. Microsoft and Sony have not announced this but it's coming. There will be...
I think you are missing the point of boards like this one. While there is an element of testosterone, both sides are doing research and learning to support our positions. Unfortunately, there is so much miss-information on UHD capable and what it means; HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2, HDR, HEVC hardware...
Post # 32 is fact sourced from your cite and mine. The movie industry wants HDCP 2.2 to take place in the Media TEE. and my cite shows HDCP 2.2 in the ARM TEE. From key words in one of your HDCP 2 cites: HDCP 2.0 was developed in 2008 but primarily used for WiFi and DTCP-IP type DRM. HDCP 2.1...
Southbridge and the custom Panasonic HDMI chip are a HDMI 2 design with the firmware not yet supporting HDMI 2. There is no disconnect in this except in your mind.
As to timing, PS4 and XB1 sales will depend on the UHD Digital bridge for HD disks and Vidipath as well as current DVR support...
The first two lines are correct, the rest; Yup, that's what it says and it's wrong as the HDMI 2 HDCP is required to be firmware upgrade-able just in case it's broken like HDMI 1.4's FIXED HDCP was in 2010. Once that happened with a fixed HDCP scheme it's forever broken. I've learned to...
All that proves is that UHD Capable requires HDMI 2 on which we are in agreement. The PS4 and XB1 will be UHD Capable after a firmware update as mentioned in Official papers.
Currently APPs on the PS4 do not use an embedded DRM or player. Netflix is 1.1 GB in size why? Every other STB...
I have an inside source that says the XB1 can support UHD blu-ray with firmware update (MS VP). The Official papers say the XB1 and PS4 are UHD Capable and the XB1 supports HEVC profile 10 with multi-view since June 2015.
If the XB1 2013 drive can support UHD Blu-ray with a firmware update...
1) HDMI pass through will not be needed when Vidipath is fully supported. HDMI pass-through will be dropped in a future XB1.
2) The other part of the puzzle mentioned in the two cites is that the PS4 and XB1 are UHD capable and will be firmware updated sometime in 2016. So three years after...
So are we just answering a question on HDR or the OP "Can the PS4 and XB1 support HDR" are we now understanding that the XB1 and PS4 have a HDMI 2 port and can support HDR.
To blow your main argument out of the water: June of 2015 Microsoft stated the XB1 supports HEVC profile 10 and shortly after AMD announced they use the same hardware to support UVD's HEVC = Xtensa accelerators. More here from Microsoft. Notice one of the Microsoft cites is their testing with...
Please read the cites.
This one is part of an exchange with the EU board regulating power use by consumer products. The first page has a link to another paper and mentions the XB1 and PS4 as UHD Capable Game Consoles. The link takes you to a Letter from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo...
