@fritsch and everyone else
already posted this in the hardware thread but I think this is the way to go with my planned hardware. My goal is to be ready to playback HEVC 4K 10 Bit content, well not just playback also to deliver the 10 bit content to my Denon AVC-X8500 and eventually to my 4K TV.
I figure, Intel is the way to go now with Linux so my HW list looks like this:
Gigabyte Z370n WiFi - with DP 1.2, HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports
Intel i5-8600T
Question now is, can I use either the DP 1.2 with a HDMI 2.0 Adapter or the "native" HDMI 2.0 port ... which uses some additional chip I think to output the decoded HEVC 10 Bit content. Is there any other trouble I might run into using this hardware on Linux to playback HEVC 10bit?
HDR content is another topic, I think this isn't supported yet, right? But would the hardware listed above be "ready" for it?
thanks guys,
boba
