A little different setup but with my GTX 1050 I am able to setup HDMI 2.0 to TV for video and displayport to AVR for audio. Kodi runs smooth with this setup even though the AVR resolution maxes out at 1080p vs 4k for my Samsung JS8500 TV. Kodi still runs in 4k even with the displayport connected to the AVR at 1080. I just use the blank display setting since I only use the AVR for audio.
I also noticed there is no way to disable video and only allow audio though HDMI/Displayport, otherwise you loss all connectivity.

I will test to connect the beebox at the same time with the hdmi 1.4 port and the display port with my AV receiver as this worked with my Nuc6i3. Adapter will arrive tomorrow.

Hello, I have read the whole thread but now I'm really confused.
As I wrote in other thread I only need to play:
- 4K video (togheter with "simple" 1080/720P videos)
- FULL 3D ISO + SBS 3D MKV
I had chosen the Brix GB-BKi7HA-7500 over the MSI Cubi 2 or Asrock Beebox-S Series. Only issue I seen on Gygabyte is that there's not CIR on board.
May I ask if:
1) Beebox is the only box with the CIR
2) Based on your experience, which is the best box to fit my needs?
Thank you very much
Lucas

In regards to the Hdmi issue I have tried to use the display port and the hdmi 1.4 port at the same time. Unfortunately if you connect the display port to the hdmi 1.4 port the display port will be switched off.
But finally I did manage to solve the issue. When I connect the hdmi 2.0 and 1.4 ports to my receiver to different inputs I can switch in the display settings of the Intel driver to use "single display". I also can reboot now without loosing the settings. I don't know why the settings were left lost when I rebooted a couple of days before. I guess I need to test this a little bit more and confirm this later again.
So when I want to watch 4k with more than 30fps I switch the driver setting to use the hdmi 2.0 port/display and switch my receiver input to this port accordingly. Everything else works great with the HDMI 1.4 port.

Since Kaby Lake natively doesn't support hdmi2.0, manufacturers place an extra chip in their devices that changes a DP-port into a hdmi2.0.
Hence the problems you all having? I don't know.
Can someone confirm me that the so called hdmi 2.0 port on the beebox support 4K@24/25/30fps with 4:4:4 Chroma Subsampling AND 10bit?
That means it is possible to display the hdr10 protocol as it should be.
