Any hardware that can downscale from 4K to 1080P?

1st Official Post

    I run Kodi on a Dell Chrombox 3010 that I have had for many years and has worked great. My audio receiver (Pioneer Elite SC-05) and TV (Samsung F8500) only support 1080p. Recently many videos I'm wanting to play at 2160 (4k). As I suspected, the Chromebox can't handle the conversion to 1080p and the 4k videos stutter terribly.

    Is there hardware that would support 4k -> 1080p on the fly for Kodi? Being able to bitstream digital audio is also a must for me (DD, Atmos, etc.). Thanks in advance!

    Your Chromebox can't handle 4K HEVC video, not the conversion to 1080p.

    Any 4K capable hardware can downscale without any issues.

    Thanks super helpful!

    You already got the same answer 2 hours ago on the Kodi forum.

    It would be nice if you actually paid attention instead of creating a similar post on the LE forum.

    Far as I know I haven't violated any posting guidelines, so....yeah, relax.
