I also believe it supports profile 8(testing it atm.), which is also single layer, but with a standards compliant base signal. According to the specs, profile 7 only supports HDR base layers. Profile 4 supports only SDR BL, and profile 8 can support both SDR and HDR BL.
Let me see if I understand correctly. Profile 5 is a "DV stream only" format (single-layer) that only contains a DV encoded video stream. Profile 7 is a dual-layer format where the base layer is (usually) HDR10 and the second layer has the DV metadata. Apparently the Shield can decode profile 5 and send it to the TV correctly. But for profile 7 we cannot be sure the DV metadata is used, so we could be looking at an HDR10 stream that is just labeled as DV?
