Don't need 4K - only HEVC 10Bit 1080p. Still not possible with beebox or SATV?

which sources have that format?

[b]8-bit HEVC, Hardware decoded:[b]
- nVIDIA Shield (4K)
- Intel Braswell (4K) (such as a Beebox) or Cherry Trail microarchitecture (Tronsmart Ara X5)
- MINIX NEO X6 / X8-H Plus (4K) or ODROID C1+ or the WeTek Core (4K) (all AMLogic SoC's)
10 bit HEVC, Hardware decoded = nVIDIA Shield (also the only one with HDMI 2.0) or
Low Bitrate 1080p / 10-bit HEVC = Software decode on powerful i5/i7 Intel platform (Kodi does not support 10-bit video output currently)
Quality deinterlacing:
- RPi2
- Intel Microarchitecture
- AMLogic SXX SoC platforms
Note: No HD Audio passthrough or HD Audio decoded to Multichannel PCM on AMLogic platforms currently. Lossy 5.1 AC3/DD passthrough still works fine. 5.1 DTS as well on some OS's.

Firmware quality is unknown, which is usually the case with a dirt cheap AMLogic device.

I have OpenElec 6 on my Chromebox (i3 CPU; 4400/GT2 GPU) I simply love this box! For information purposes, I would like to know its limitations. So far, I know full 3D ISO's won't play, but other 3D content will?
Are there any other formats/codecs I will not be able to play?
