It's just boot screen and I don't think it's 4k or high bit rate video, and if it was about hdmi cable then I mustn't see coreelec logo on my TV 2 times after I turn on N2, after that logo shown I guess N2 try to send video signal in wrong resolation or something else. But anyway I will try a quality hdmi cable tomorrow.
I think the Core Elec boot screen is 1080p - but if you have a 4K display, the N2 will switch to 4K60 when Kodi itself starts running (as your TV will tell your N2 that it supports 2160p60 modes).
This means that you get the boot screen but may not get the Kodi screen if your HDMI cable can't reliably carry the higher bandwidth HDMI 2.0 modes required for 2160p60.
When I upgraded to a UHD TV, UHD capable AVR, UHD Blu-ray player, Apple TV 4K etc. I had to replace pretty much every HDMI cable in my installation as they all had issues with 2160p60 4:2:2 video - and either gave me drop outs, sparkles, unreliable connections or 'Unrecognised format' type errors.
I DIDN'T pay for expensive 18Gbps cables - but did ensure the ones I purchased were low cost, good value, HDMI Premium Certified with an official hologram logo on the packaging.
Thank you for helping I solved my problem with a new higher quality hdmi cable, I completed all installation and setup, N2 ready to work.
But please let me ask you guys about av transfer to my AV reciever and TV. It sounds little bit complicated to me, I confused.
N2 got only one hdmi out and it transfer audio and video at the same time right? I need to transfer (passthrough) a 4k movie’s Dolby atmos or dtsx sounds to my av reciever, and transfer video of movie to my TV. How I will do that with one single hdmi out?
Maybe with HDMI ARC function, but how, in which order? From N2 to av reciever and then from reciever to TV?
Can you please help me to understand this logic?
My av reciever is onkyo tx nr 686 with Dolby atmos, dtsx and hdmi arc function.
My TV is LG 55 UK6470PLC with hdmi arc function and without Dolby atmos dtsx decoding (so that I bought N2 for able to passthrough dolby atmos and dtsx to my reciever)
Thanx
In your case you need TWO high quality HDMI cables, first from N2 to Onkio and second from Onkio to LG TV.
