HDMI 2.1 Source Based Tone Mapping SBTM - Does it matter to JRVR?

<< < (2/2)

EnglishTiger:
When it comes to getting the latest and greatest features in any future purchases you may want to wait for a couple of years because yesterday the Specs for HDMI 2.2 were published/released  and it will probably take the relevant device manufacturers a couple of years to introduce HDMI 2.2 Capability in their products.

mattkhan:
Sbtm was announced 3yrs ago, plenty of time for adoption to be widespread by now

datdude:
Doesn't have to be. A lot of what JRVR does isn't wide spread. Very niche. But it allows enthusiasts to get the top 1% of picture quality for home theater. My questions are still valid. If it improves the HDR process and overall picture quality could be a good idea. Wondering what Hendrik thinks.

Plus I have a feeling it may be in more hardware than we think, its just not advertised as such. It looks like Sony has implemented it in some of their Bravia TVs. It looks like it took 3 years from the time HDMI 2.1 was released (2017) for the first TVs in 2020 to support it. Also read that the consoles worked with the HDMI organization to create SBTM so once the next generations come out they likely will support it since the current consoles came out before that spec.

mattkhan:
I wasn't saying it's not valid, just that it's not new part of 2.2 (which seemed to be the suggestion of previous post)

It does need to be pretty widespread though as Microsoft/Nvidia (and/or AMD/intel) need to support it

datdude:
AMD says they support HDMI 2.1 including SBTM, they mention the Radeon 6800 as an example. Their website doesn’t list that feature though.

Intel indicated they do not support it.

I have not heard back from Nvidia.
