The second one was not as good.. hard to top the flowing zombies in Last Train to Busan. Its also just heartbreaking and emotional. Its very Asian style. Its wonderful on many levels. I was using these as examples of Asians movies that are awesome. Yes some are available in the store. Just...- Xymox

Asia has some great movies. I would love more content in that genre. There are a lot of titles that are nearly impossible to get streaming on normal services with english subs. I am a fan of Takashi Miike and a lot of his works are tightly controlled and hard to get close to initial release in...- Xymox

Whats to stop me, or others, from doing photoshop ? I sure would never trust a pic of a pic. Plus a picture of a picture posted on the internet and displayed on a random uncalibrated monitor, or phone, is about as far as you can get from objective proper evaluation. The correct way is a...- Xymox

Apple TV 4K Discussion Thread
I am going to focus on the hardware platform that produces the best picture and sound. My focus is on performance of the picture and sound. a 1" 2 track Studer takes a lot longer to thread up to play music and has a lot narrower set of applications, but its performance is what counts not its...- Xymox

Apple TV 4K Discussion Thread
Bitrate is super important, things in motion should not loose rez. You really need the bitdepth for every pixel in motion. But I propose there has been a weak link. One that has been present since we started HDMI. I also propose this weak link is extremely visible. Just IMHO of course. But if...- Xymox

Apple TV 4K Discussion Thread
Yes on most items. What I found the most interesting, and its why I am going to see about doing a SMPTE paper, is that something that is not part of the current perceptual model for vision seems to be present. Like when the audio world discovered that audio jitter mattered, and even the...- Xymox

Apple TV 4K Discussion Thread
Thank you :) I get attacked for some reason a lot over it, so I am quick to be defensive. But what if cleaning up HDMI turned out to be more important to pic / sound quality then bitrate ? Most people are watching series and stuff from streaming. DirecTV and cable offer apps. most k-scape...- Xymox

Apple TV 4K Discussion Thread
BUT... and its a BIG but... I am looking at it from a perspective of modding it heavily and then its performance. How does it compare pic/sound with the current one unmodded ? That seemed like a toss up to me on a quick AB. Who knows, maybe the new one might have a slight advantage for some...- Xymox

Cleaner.. How do you define that ? Jitter reduction on the HDMI ? Noise floor on the TDMS ? I measured those, it worse then the 2021. Im not sure how you translate power consumption to RF/EMI in exponential terms ? There is no "inductive fan load/noise" in real use as the fan never comes on...- Xymox

I mean,, if these guys can stream dailies of feature films during production to the AppleTV, its secure enough to stream movies for kscape I would think. The best media I have ever seen was via Frame.io.. I have some people in the industry using ATVXs.- Xymox

I wont be modding the new one as its a big step down in how its built. This round of engineering was meant to cheapen it up. It has no important improvements. HDR+ is only useful to people with Samsung TVs, the 128GB flash is useless as no one ever uses 32GB now. Pretty much no one games on it...- Xymox
