So it's save to assume that Ugoos and Minix with custom firmware do support the FEL DV? And I know there is also Google TV with Chromecast ( don't onow wether it truly supports it or not ). What's your opinion about it?
I don't know, I didn't receive mine yet. I'm sure someone will try the ending credits of Power Rangers and confirm soon.
I'm not sure if the Chromecast really supports FEL eventhough there is FEL noise when you play the sample with fake DV layer. I'm saying this because Manix and I tested the total recall and there was no FEL processed. We didn't share because Manix messed up the colors so I'm not sure about the accuracy of that comparison (manix has to re-do). So even if the SOC supports dual video decoding, I think if the DV SDK doesn't, then you don't get FEL DV.
Hi, RESET_9999, what do you mean with "I'm saying this because Manix and I tested the total recall and there was no FEL processed"?
- Both of you had tested Total Recall with Chromecast with Google TV and saw that it doesn't process FEL?
- The Total Recall scene playback can't prove the FEL processing?
As I said before, I tested have tested the Total Recall escene in my Chromecast with Google TV:
Test equipment:
- Chromecast with Google TV updated with february firmware
- Panasonic HZ1000 OLED TV updated with last firmware
- Plex server and Plex for Android TV app beta, updated to last beta version
- Emby server beta and Emby for Android TV app beta, updated to last beta version
As I reported before, none of the samples provided by RESET_9999 activate Dolby Vision in my case, except de P8 MEL test, that shows clearly the compression artifacts.
At the end I got a copy of the DV version of Total Recall (1990) and I proceeded to test it in the scene at 43 minutes, the spaceship landing.
I created a single track double layer Dolby Vision FEL profile 7 mkv file with MakeMKV.
I have made 3 playback tests and the results are curiously the following:
- Normal playback in Dolby Vision: No artifacts shown!, so it's processing the FEL layer, isn't it?
- Playback disabling the Dolby Vision compatibility in my TV: my TV reports it plays as HDR10 and... don't show artifacts!
- I created a HDR10 version with MakeMKV selecting only de HDR10 layer (NO the EL layer): it shows the artifacts clearly.
The image quality of the Dolby Vision version is very good for me, with no artifacts and a punchy impact.
Unfortunately, as known, the SDR screenshots I did are of no utility because of the wrong colour and detail.
