Android Screen Grabber + Shield (no Pro) + Pi 3b (no HDMI-Splitter and USB Grabber needed?)

Performance wise it works great with wled but grabber is not working with HDCP content so no Netflix, Amazon prime, Disney...

If it would it could be the best solution, unfortunately to get HDCP content only way is with some LG TVs or external grabber.

hi,

I have a Shield setup and didn't use the Screen grabber because of the problem with streaming platforms as Netflix etc.

I took a different approach and used a hdmi 4k receiver with 6 input 4K hdmi ports and 1 hdmi 4K port out.

Setup:

Shield tv Pro 》 hdmi receiver IN 》 hdmi receiver out 》input 4K signal to HDCP 2.1 hdmi splitter 60p

Splits into :

Output2: hdmi 1080p 》 grabber 1080p 》 Raspi

Output1: Hdmi 4K 》 passtrough at 4Ktv

I have Hyperion.ng on all 6 hdmi channels and every streaming platform as YouTube Netflix Disney Amazon etc works.

HDR / Dolby Vision works.

Also audio bitstreams as DTS /Dolby Digital + etc, are working in this setup.

Hey Ambientheater77,

can you please explain how you got Dolby Vision working. What kind of HDMI 4K Reciever do you have ? :D.

Hey Ambientheater77,

Denon AVR-x2000

You need a good hdmi splitter/scaler and tv to display the Dolby Vision.

HDR works when broadcast signal from source is HDR, then tv switch over to HDR bitrate 2020 colourpallet.

Dolby Vision I don't know because I don't have that broadcasted, but I think that works also. Splitter supports it i think.

Anyway 4K or HDR is way better is my opinion 🤷

Hi,

yes HDR works for me perfectly too. But with Dolby Vision i just get a pink picture.

For now i dont know any Grabber/Splitter which can decode DolbyVision by Hardware except for HD Fury Diva.

Hi ,

I am a beginner.

I just wanna share how I work with hyperhdr (Hyperion) Raspberry pi 4 with dolby vision.

1 The Most important part is the Splitter which can scale down the image quality

- just get ezcoo splitter with scaler

- there are 60hz old version and 120hz latest version , both working fine,

for gaming purpose go for the 120hz and future proof.

2. The HDMI cable must be support 40gbps in oder to work

- All the cables between devices!

3 (optional) since I got a denon AVR S960, can playback dolby atmos

- I use it as a switcher , to switch between devices

- Denon Output 2 conncect to ezcoo splitter and scale down 1080p

- Ezcoo splitter output to grabber

- finally from grabber to pi4.

that's my setup, hope I can help someone here . Good luck!

Hello @Anodize

Great explanation!!!! Thank you very much for novices like me.

I have exactly the same configuration as you except that I don't have a third-party amp like your Denon but I would like to be able to use multiple input sources despite everything like my Apple TV, my gaming PC and my Nintendo Switch, I would need the same Ezcoo Splitter but with multiple input sources and not just one.

Could you or someone else recommend one? the goal being like you to use HDR for my Apple TV and 4K120HZ for my gaming PC.

Another question @Anodize with HDR you didn't notice any saturated or washed out colors? because i have tested a lot of Ambilight boxes like the Lytmy Pro / Fantasy3, Dreamscreen 4k and Govee Sync Box 2 and all have a problem of washed out colors in HDR despite the promises.

Thanks in advance for your answers
