[x86-64][CroqueMr Builds] Dolby Vision w/FEL, HDR10+, and 3D

  • Hi all.

    Just got new Asus NUC 14pro with Intel Ultra 5 125H + Arc graphics. Will try to test as much as possible and post results here. Any suggestions or request what to test first on this cpu + gpu combo? The whole system is LG 65G4 + Sonos Arc Ultra + Asus and i have AM6b+ also.

    Also, question regarding CEC. Asus has a CEC option in BIOS and its enabled but its not visible in System/Input/Peripherals. Any idea what could i try?

  • Hi cinemaONE, CroqueMr and everyone,

    Great news! My HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF is now successfully playing 3D Blu-rays too! 😃

    The additional HP HDMI Flex IO module arrived today, and I've installed it in my HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF with Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G (Vega 11).

    And it works perfectly with the new LibreELEC 13 build!

    Previously, I could only get side-by-side 3D through the DisplayPort-to-HDMI connection. Now, with the HDMI Flex IO module installed, proper 3D Blu-ray playback is working on the SFF as well!

    The module is the HP 3TK75AA / L25757-001, the same part number as the one already working in my smaller EliteDesk.

    I've attached four photos showing:

    1. The HDMI Flex IO module and its markings.
    2. The module installed in the 705 G4 SFF.
    3. The original 3D Blu-ray disc menu.
    4. The movie playing successfully.

    I've also attached the Kodi debug log from the successful test, so you can check the HDMI detection and 3D frame-packing output modes.

    This is especially interesting considering our previous discussion about DisplayPort-to-HDMI converters and LSPCON chips.

    Thanks again to everyone involved in developing this fantastic LibreELEC 13 build!

    Your work has made these inexpensive HP EliteDesk machines incredibly capable multimedia PCs! 👍HP_EliteDesk_705_G4_SFF_HDMI_3D_Log.txt

  • awesome news! is the DV FEL working also? how is the noise levels, can you hear the fan?

  • Thanks! 😃

    Regarding Dolby Vision FEL, I haven't been able to test it with my current setup, so I can't confirm whether it works.

    As for the fan noise, the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF is practically silent!

    From a distance of about 2 metres, I can't hear it at all. Even when sitting directly in front of the PC, the fan is barely audible.

    So in terms of noise, it's absolutely excellent as a living-room HTPC!

    And with native 3D Blu-ray frame packing now working under LibreELEC 13, I'm really impressed with this little machine! 👍

  • Hi ht2tweak,

    Thanks! 😃

    Here in Germany, the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF with Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G is currently available on eBay for just €69!

    Of course, that's a barebone system without RAM, SSD/HDD or power supply, but still an excellent starting point.

    And there's more to my setup:

    • 3D Blu-ray: Native HDMI frame packing works perfectly with the new LibreELEC 13 build and the HP HDMI Flex IO module.
    • 4K UHD Blu-ray drive: I'm using an LG BU40D.
    • DVB-S2 satellite TV: Already working in the same PC using the VDR add-on.
    • 4K playback: Yesterday I tested King Kong in 4K on my Optoma projector, and I was absolutely blown away by the picture quality!
    • Gaming: Batocera also makes these machines great for retro gaming, including PS2 emulation.

    So with this new LibreELEC 13 release, I've finally got an incredibly versatile multimedia PC that combines 3D Blu-ray, 4K playback and DVB-S2 television in one inexpensive machine.

    After experimenting with HTPCs since my first VDR system back in 2004, I'm genuinely impressed by what this little HP can do!

    Many thanks again to the developers for making this possible! 👍

    That's some serious bargain right there. You really should test for Dolby Vision, I suppose many people would be interested in knowing if that machine would be enough.

    Given its GPU capabilities, I suspect it would be perfectly ok.
