Thanks. I just ordered a Intel NUC11TNKi3 to test latest LibreElec HDR10 builds (Tiger Lake) (TGLx)
Based on that doc my 2 x Intel NUC8 are not going to do HDR10 (KBLx).
Hi,
HDR10 is supported since Gemini lake (also Refresh and later) and needs linux Kernel 5.xx+ (now is 6.2 in ubuntu 23.04).
But it was not in Windows at the begining (now it is ok in W11 and igfx 101.211 for 6-10th gen)
and is not in ChromeOS drivers (as HEVC starts R109 for 11th gen+ starting i5 !)
Note that oldiest NUC can work (starting NUC6/7 that used TBT, and sure for my NUC8i3BEH2, backed up with i3-8109u gen8 but iris plus 655 9.5gen GLK-like, playing now at my eyes the HDR10 hw decode out of the box when W11...
Alors got VP9.2 and DolbyVision (here with appx and 20sec cnx internet to M$) working fine, no need of 4K hdr/DV TV as CPU/GPU done.
So if you don't mind AV1 hw decode, as 2k or 4k less about 12mbps are effective in sw , you can use yours NUC8 or feel free to get any cheaper NUC ... If only HDR10, let's try W11 on yours NUCs ! Else LE/kodi19-20 will work ...
Edit:
remember that
1) intel definitly lies on announcements & ark specs in a marketing bloat way, as they can't 'under'build most of the time (thx SMP & real hw devs)
2) You need DP1.4 or at least HDMI2.0b to get passthrough for hdr10 & 10/12bits DV to your TV hdr/DV display, because HDMI2.0 is 18Gbps limited and can't carry 4K 60fps 10bits/12bits videos (even when the cable can achive itself such debit of resp 25 and 30gbps). The good thing is that W11 and LE-kodi (and others) does the tone mappings directly on the PC whatever is the display for the best picture & color possible...
