KEAOS (Software) UPDATES

K updated this morning.

Do we still have to download Cinematic HDR10 if we want 444? (If movie actually supports it) or can we now download Cinematic DV?

Not sure I follow. KOS update and chroma questions are unrelated things. Max chroma for Cinematic DV is 422 but does have a bit depth equivalent to 11.5bits. Some Cinematic HDR10 will be 444, 10bit if present in the source file. What looks better will likely depend on preference and gear being used.

I think he’s referring to the bug where player conversions from DV to HDR10 are reportedly too bright? There’s supposed to be a firmware patch coming for that.

Mine just updated as well. Really hoping this resolves my Strato V’s random audio drops. Happened twice last night while watching The Batman. I have already worked with Kscape support to troubleshoot potential HDMI or display issues.

Good luck, I hope you solve it. I had that problem on my Strato E , Terra combo for a bit.

I had a cheap Netgear Gigabit Ethernet switch in my rack. I replaced it with an enterprise grade Cisco switch and the problem went away. The thought was that cheap switches like that often do not have deep enough buffers to handle microbursts of traffic. When an interface’s buffers are overrun, packets will get dropped. TCP does the best it can to recover through retransmissions, but by then with video it’s too late.

Also, around the same time they pushed an update (I think the one before this) that was supposed to help with dropped audio.

I upgraded to a Strato K in my theater, and no issues at all. It’s K —> Anthem AVM90 —> MadVR Envy Core —> JVC NZ800, although I just got the JVC this week. It was an Epson LS12000 previously. The E I moved to our living room and it’s E —> LG sound bar —> LG C1 OLED via E-ARC and it seems to be working OK. To be fair, in the living room I just have a cheap Netgear switch too.

Have you tried limiting the output to 10 bit per channel (i.e. 30bit in total)? Seems to have solved the problem here...
 
Standard rollout is at least four weeks and there was a pause for a week for the 4th. All is well, more coming next week. (No, I don’t have it either.)
