Impressed with the low cpu transcode on the synology 918+ I recently brought once I got the plex pass for hardware acceleration and the way it matched my media, but all this is useless unless tone mapping is built in.
It seems to be a minefield now about what route to go that will get me HDR>SDR on a standard 4k Panasonic smart tv. If I spend more money on a ATV4K then the forthcoming new version could do it but why not roll the mapping out everywhere? It looks like Atmos workarounds are still lacking on ATV but Infuse seem to have a solution - Atmos is another big requirement so I may as well scrap the plex pass and hook into the library with Infuse?!
Or do I get a shield or an x box?!
Maybe i’ve missed something, trawling through old posts but beginning to think this is all too lacking and when something does work, gets broken again. Might just have to buy Zappiti players and stick with what I know coming from a pretty solid 5 years on Dune HD.
