Have installed the OE7 Wetek Core testing build.
For fun I thought I'd try some 4K content connected to my UHD set (which accepts 2160/60p in 4:2:0 and 2160/30p and below in 4:2:2).
H264/AVC 3840x2160/24p and 4096x2160/24p content played very well - as they do on a Chromebox (note this is H264 NOT HEVC) This was sourced from various locations - one was an off-air recording from a DVB-S2 test. However H264 UHD (aka 4K) stuff is likely to be quite rare and is unlikely to be something that is encountered that much in the future.
H265/HEVC 3840x2160/50p and 3840x160/59.94p content played - but in what seemed like slow-motion. Not particularly surprising I guess given that the Core doesn't have HDMI 2.0 output - but pleasantly surprised I got pictures!. This was sourced from DVB-T2 test broadcasts in the UK in 2014 (World Cup and Commonwealth Games)
3D MVC and ISOs are played in 2D - but I think that is what is expected on the Core OE builds currently.
