OK thanks for the clarification. So in this case, nothing to do with tone mapping just the luminance portion (e.g. - a 1,000 nit HDR video source to the display’s lower max nits of say ~ 100-700 nits) while maintaining HDR PQ “gamma”?



Actually it kind of is!

If you use an HDFury product such as the Vertex2 you can spoof the EDID to the AppleTV into thinking it’s connected to a Dolby Vision display, even if it is only HDR10 capable, such as Samsung UHDTVs and HDR10 projectors.

If you set your display settings to “4K59.94 Dolby Vision” and leave “Match Dynamic Range” setting off and “Match Frame Rate” on (so you get the native frame rates like 23.975 for most movies), it will then convert your HDR10 only movies to LLDV/Dolby Vision utilizing the DV dynamic tone mapping processing and algorithms (VS10?) within the AppleTV 4K.

The Vertex2 settings I use to prove this are basically setting the HDR/AVI Custom EDID values to 10,000 nits (yes, 10,000 nits!) and then using either Automix with the DV block selected and the DV Datablock Tab set to BT2020 and Max Luminance of 1,000 nits, or you can just use Custom EDID 9 or 10 under the EDID Tab to essentially accomplish the same thing, but with less customization abilities but more plug and play for novices.

I use Infuse in this manner to play my UHD HDR Bluray rips and I never have to adjust a thing anymore on my LK990 or Samsung LSP9T projectors since its dynamically tone mapping the signal. It works on everything from super high nit movies and scenes like The Meg chapter 8, Aquaman chapter 6 to low nit titles like Blade Runner 2049, Star Wars The Last Jedi, Arrival, The Mandalorian on Disney+ streaming and everything in between!

The image is absolutely incredible and akin to buying a very high priced Lumagen Radiance Pro or MadVR Envy Video Processor but without wasting your kid’s college fund or remortgaging your home!!!
Sorry to be replying to such an old post.

What is the benefit to your vertex2 and Infuse combo compared to plugging it directly into the usb port of the lsp9t and utilizing its HDR10+ capabilities? If our goal is play a blu-ray rip with dynamic tone mapping.

I'm new to HDR and trying to wrap my head around it. Your posts on various forums have helped a great deal. But what am I missing regarding the above? Thanks!
 
Does Infuse take into account the wireless audio sync settings on Apple TV? Because when I watch anything with Infuse the audio sync for my HomePods is slightly off, And it just seems to be Infuse that has this issue as every other app seems fine.

It will, though some users have noted that this process needs to repeated for each frame rate you want to use.

1. Disable frame rate matching
2. Manually switch to a different frame rate (EG 24 Hz)
3. Perform audio sync
4. Repeat for other frame rates
 
Can Atmos spatial audio be played with the AirPods Max through infuse?
Apple devices have limited support for Atmos, and in most cases Infuse will play these as 'Multichannel' when using AirPods and spatial audio.

We hope to add enhanced support for some versions of Atmos in a future update, and you can follow this thread for updates.
 
Hi @firecore,

Can I suggest for more granular playback controls via hot keys on the Mac (e.g. fast forward and rewind by 2-3 seconds instead of 15, and allow users to set a separate hot key for these)?
This is something we hope to look at for a future update, and you can follow this thread in our forum for updates.

Very nice. With TVOS 16 now supporting multiple user profiles, switching on the fly, can Infuse use this to create seperate libraries, watching etc. for each user?
 
I know it’s been asked before but is there any chance of music/podcasts being included within the app?

Your app is second to none and I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love the ability to have an all in one solution for their media.

There aren't any immediate plans to add music support, but you can follow this thread in our forum for updates.

@firecore are there any plans to implement theme music or trailers like plex has?
No immediate plans right now, but you can follow these threads in our forum for updates.

I keep trying my luck and ask the same question every year or so:
Any plans on integrating IPTV support? (m3u streams etc.)
 
I have a question: I have a pair of OG HomePods paired in stereo and setup as the default audio output for my Apple TV 4K 2021. If the movie has the audio track both in Dolby Digital 5.1 (No TruHD Atmos) and DTS-MA, which one should I select? I suspect that both will be converted to stereo but I would like a confirmation of this.

Still on our radar, but not ETA just yet.

Both would be sent as 5.1 to the system, where Apple does some magic when connected to HomePods, AirPods, etc so things sound better than normal 2.0 stereo.

Sure, no rush. It's only been 5 years since the suggestion :). Just kidding.

Could you maybe tell me whats the difference between the various options for "Streaming Cache"?
Auto
Memory Only (would this be the best since it uses the internal memory for caching? wich should be fast?)
Legacy

Mine is currently set to "Memory Only"

Auto is the recommended option, and it will use both free disk space and memory for the streaming cache.

Memory Only (as its name suggests) will use memory only.

Legacy is also memory only, but is an older and less efficient implementation.
