Sorry to hear you had issues. The CalMan stuff works great with Lumagen but there is a learning curve for sure. Also should be no issue at all with bitstream audio to your Krell. I calibrate and work with these all the time. Reach out if I can ever help out!
Except they chose the wrong Sisu, Sisu 2 is a masterpiece.Very pleased to see that I already own half of the Cinematic releases. Would've been a real bummer t have to pay to upgrade again. Excited to see what this thing can do.
Hopefully it will get upgraded in the future, I really liked Sisu 2.
No, I think those days are over. There's so much more flexibility without requiring a server that I think even a small SSD should be standard on K Players from here on out.
Well... Apparently there is a major storm in the midwest. My Next Day Air with Saturday Delivery did not happen, and there has been no activity on the tracking number since very early Saturday morning. I am hoping, but doubting, I will get it tomorrow.
I'm in a similar boat. I'm half expecting the 100F temps this week to melt the K in its box prior to arrival. lol
I meant open a support ticket with us. It would allow our team to look at the logs and see if we're getting bogus or inconsistent EDID information or something else that might be causing the problems getting a consistent 4K lock. Certainly wouldn't hurt to also make sure that the Trinnov is fully up-to-date.
I assume you mean because there's not a second HDMI audio-only output on the Strato K. This was unfortunately not possible for us to include due to a hardware limitation in the chipset. However, there are definitely ways around this with an appropriate HDMI splitter that can extract the audio and output it separately. It's a shame that you're not using the Radiance Pro anymore, because it explicitly supports this.
If a display can’t do 444 without turning off everything than I would not suggest 444 for the output. You would likely use 422. People really need to stop obsessing about the chroma space like it is a go or no go when it comes to any improvement. If it really required a perfect chroma space pass thru I would tell everyone to skip this completely. No matter what you are starting with a file that has more chroma information than before. Chroma is the thing in video we are the least sensitive to, so it is the thing that you should be the least worried about. I guarantee that in 99% of setups there are going to be chroma conversions, it is almost completely unavoidable. The great thing is, you are always starting with more chroma than you had before, so there is still a benefit. These files also have a lot more bit rate than before, so they should be even better from a detail perspective and shouldn’t have any issues with banding. So yes, there will be a benefit on paper for sure.
The Radiance Pro would not pass lossless audio bitstreams, but ultimately I got rid of it because I was sick of the blue screen of death resulting from input switching or resolution changes, which then required me to mess with cables and restarting devices and standing on one leg or my head with fingers crossed hoping to get a picture back up on my screen. It was not worth the trouble. I'm planning on buying the Co-Star...I'm not sure how that would play with another device to strip out the audio to send to the Krell.
I had yet to see any 4:4:4 content (and I've been looking) but all the 4K_C content I've watched so far has been DV outside of Bohemian Rhapsody (HDR10). Not surprising that DV has all been 4:2:2 (which is still a great combo) but in the interest of looking into how my Sony Bravia 9 II might react when fed 4:4:4 content I downloaded Sinners in SDR. I figured maybe SDR would the land of 4:4:4 but no...Sinners 4K_C in SDR is still 4:2:2. Has anyone found any 4:4:4 content in the store?
I would think those of us with a Strato K directly feeding a modern flat panel should have the least worries of all Strato K owners.
In the settings, are you using allow display changes (with external scaler) or just allow display changes with the Bravia?I had yet to see any 4:4:4 content (and I've been looking) but all the 4K_C content I've watched so far has been DV outside of Bohemian Rhapsody (HDR10). Not surprising that DV has all been 4:2:2 (which is still a great combo) but in the interest of looking into how my Sony Bravia 9 II might react when fed 4:4:4 content I downloaded Sinners in SDR. I figured maybe SDR would the land of 4:4:4 but no...Sinners 4K_C in SDR is still 4:2:2. Has anyone found any 4:4:4 content in the store?
BTW...I'm expecting my Sony to present an awesome picture when fed 4:4:4 content...just like 4:2:2...just like 4:2:0.
External scaler...trying to keep everything as native as possible all the way to display.
This is just what I want to read. I too have a Sony 7000. And, what you're saying means I will have to contact my financial advisor, who will undoubtedly suck a lot of air in through his teeth. I will have to explain that unless I have one of these, my brain will explode, and that will be the end of his fees.
