I am try to understand and resolve an issue I am having with the colour range output from my NUC (D34010 i3) via Kodi (v15 Beta 1) via my Denon X2000 to my TV (LG EC930V). I am having trouble getting the correct settings to ensure the colour range received by the TV is correct. The issue I am seeing is that I am getting blacks crushed via Kodi. I am using the black clipping.mp4 from the AVS calibration files for my tests.
There are multiple variables within the chain which must impact on the range the TV receives. The NUC has intel graphics 4400 and is running Windows 7 (64bit) SP1. The Intel settings have two areas I need to be clear on, firstly the output setting. Limited (16-235) or Full and secondly, RGB or YCBCR. Then within Kodi there is the option to use the limited range option and finally I have ‘Black Level’ on the LG which is High or Low, I have read that High = Limited and Low = Full range confusingly enough.
Just to also add that playing the black clipping.mp4 via VLC gave a different result to Kodi(XBMC), I could see bar 17 via VLC.
I need educating if anybody is able to help?
Thanks,
Guy
