For HDR content, the requirements make sense that you posted on question 4. Regarding motherboards, a dedicated GPU or integrated CPU/GPU should have no issues running 4K movies from the 4,5,6 generations. The Monitor, GPU and/or AVR has compliance requirements just like 3D did. For HDR featured content, you need a HDR compatible TV (all the 2017 models have it and most of the 2016) or Monitor (which are coming out by nVidia (via Asus/Acer) later this year and HDR compatible GPU.

You're system should have no problem running a 4K movie with Cyberlink PowerDVD 17. Consider HDR having different requirements to run properly or at all as you would with 3D. I think you are confusing the HDR feature content with 4K movies with watching 4K movies without HDR turned on.

To view the HDR 10 effect of Ultra HD Blu-ray movies, a mainboard that supports exporting HDR 10 signal is required - I take it mine is not compatible because it doesn't support the Kaby Lake/Skylake editions?Ĥ) Under Display Device, it says Display device with HDMI 2.0a/DisplayPort 1.3 connection interface, and must support HDCP 2.2 - why is a DP 1.3 required? Mine only support 1.2, but how is everyone else been watching 4k content/movies on their HD/QHD monitors? There are plenty of examples of this on YouTube.ĥ) Do the same requirements apply, if you're playing downloaded 4k content from netflix. The Intel SGX feature needs to be enabled in the BIOS* settings and allocated with 128 MB or above memory space. I play 4k games on my Acer Predator XB321HK 32, but I am wondering, if I'll be able to play 4k games.Īpparently the requirements to play 4k movies are found on PowerDVD's site.ġ) The minumum requirement is your CPU must be one of the Kaby Lake editions or higher - this means my 6950, and Asus Rampage V Edition 10 are not compatible, right?Ģ) The GPU requirement states Ultra HD Blu-ray: Intel 7th generation (Kaby Lake) Core i processors integrated with Intel HD Graphics 630, Intel Iris™ Graphics 640 - what does this mean? I have 4 980 in Quad SLI configuration.ģ) The Motherboard requirement states Ultra HD Blu-ray A mainboard is required which supports the Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) technology. I was wondering someone can help me shed some understanding on Pioneer's new Blu-Ray optical drives, that can play 4k movies.
