HDR with 4K UHD blue-rays? (1 Viewer)

[wiyosaya]

Does MePo 1 pass the HDR metadata, Dolby Vision, HDR10, etc., along to the display when playing 4K UHD Blu-ray discs? If not, are there any known solutions that would pass along that metadata.

I'm about to upgrade my display to a 4K display that supports HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10, 10+, etc, and I am wondering whether HDR will work with 4K discs that have it.

Thanks.

HDR works with MadVR as Video Renderer.
I don't know if this also works with Blu-Ray discs.

I would have to know more details, and ultimately, I'll have to test it when I get my new display, but an AI answer I got (I don't trust AI and this may not be correct) was that HDR is encoded with the HEVC codec and I know MePo uses the HEVC codec to play 4K UHD Blue-ray discs. So, there is at least the possibility that it will work with MePo. And that would assume an HDMI 2.1 connection between the video card and the Display. Which means, as long as the connection between the video card and TV are capable of 48Gbps transfer, that rate is capable of transmitting HDR data, in particular, the 12-bit color of the HDR standard Dolby Vision.
