Does NUC7CJYH support HDR?

[GJosh2]

A little confused due to conflicting comments around, whether NUC7CJYH supports HDR.

Please refer the tech specs from below link. It does mention the following under the Graphics section - " Two HDMI* 2.0a ports with 4K at 60 Hz, HDR"

Hello, Gautam Joshi.

I would like to clarify that the NUC7CJYH does not support HDR. I really apologize for the confusion, the documentation (http://simplynuc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/tech_specs.pdf http://simplynuc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/tech_specs.pdf / https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/nuc7cjyh-nuc7pjyh-nuc7cjys-brief.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/nuc7cjyh-nuc7pjyh-nuc7cjys-brief.pdf) used to provide you this information will be corrected. Once again, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Antony S.

Hello

Thank you for joining the community. Allow me to share the product specification for Intel® NUC Kit NUC7CJYH. In here you can see that the graphics output is HDMI® 2.0a https://ark.intel.com/products/126135/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC7CJYH?q=NUC7CJYH https://ark.intel.com/products/126135/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC7CJYH?q=NUC7CJYH In the matter of the HDR support let me share with you the following link for you to see the hardware/software required for the feature. You can refer to the table1 summary of HDR usages and dependencies on page 13. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/graphics/HDR_Intel_Graphics_TechWhitePaper.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/graphics/HDR_Intel_Graphics_TechWhitePaper.pdf Hope this helps. Regards, Leonardo C.

Thank you for you link to that interesting whitepaper. But this paper makes it more confusing than that it helps clarifying. For example I don't think windows or HDCP is required for viewing HDR10 content. This may be necessary for netflix or blue rays, but not in general. So the document does not differentiate between technical requirements and requirements by the industrie.

Hello 1Martin

Thank you for your response. Allow me to investigate further on the topic, I will be posting back as soon as news become available. Regards,Leonardo C.

[MSchl11]

I think the point is: HDR10 does need some messages (metadata) inside the video stream. Maybe this does not work for the intel nuc.

But in general HDR with 10bit color depth and wide gamut should work.

Hello 1Martin

Thank you for waiting. Allow me to share with you that HDR is only supported on Kaby Lake and newer generations. However, small core processors such as Apollo Lake and Gemini Lake do not have HDR support.Regards,Leonardo C.

Hi,

intel first wrote GLK's NUC support for 4K @ 60Hz, HDR on offical communication. accordingly, specialized press articles did mention such HDR capability. Even Microsoft wrote UHD600 as minimal graphical intel GPU for HDR display ...

But some people in intel restricted HDR for 7th gen chips with a no go for powerfull Gemini lake. So intel retired HDR code for HDR10 metadata in their igfx driver for any GLK chips ! 

As I own GLK nuc & beelink mini PC that run HDR fluently on LibreElec/Kodi19 alpha,  i know for sure that GLK & GLK refreh DO run HDR as they are fully capable, once outside intel windows igfx driver.

AMD & nVIDIA are running HDR out of the box while intel does NOT.

My kabylake 7th gen i7-7500U XPS13 9360 does run HDR *only* through a nvidia TBT3 eGPU, as I never got HDR working with intel itself TBT3 chip !!

I'm tired that intel sell devices and chips that NEVER work as specified. This is an industry shipwreck and a world customers offense. Killed function on driver, no 10-12b support only 8b for HDR : everything is restricted with NO reason.

Now that GLK-Refresh has been lauched one year ago, for 2 years of live, intel SHOULD support ASAP the HDR playback on their GLK drivers.

Otherwise all customers would run away from such products which do not even fall off working state ... while other manufacturer platforms easily run what you paid for...

                 ==  So intel staf, which igfx driver version is soon going to suspend this frustrating stupid attitude for GLK igfx UHD 600/605 (as U stands for Ultra, doesn't it?)

Hi,

Me too have got GLK & GLK-R to output HDR w/o LS-PCON ...

This with alpha LibreElec & Kodi (mini PC & laptop), while on Win10 I only get HDR streaming capability (very usefull indeed for my non-HDR GLK-R laptop internal panel, while an external HDR display cannot get HDR toggle thanks to great intel drivers self limitation...)!

I think that even DP1.2a IGP are also well outputing HDR, specially with NUCmachines (core NUC6/NUC7 with TBT3 alpine chip intel fw resp. NVM38/33).

It is even wrote Gen10 GPU in the GLK datasheet ...

What a pitty these fake drivers, people know now where NOT to go to have working features...

Any plans to reverse things for yours early adopters when HDR was told supported, dear intel staff ? Finally saying YES to the OP question ?....

Thank you, everything fine.

Hey MSchl11,

that's irony, I hope !

did you return your nuc on time ?
