Hardwareparts for 4k (no HDR, Dolby Vision, etc)

  • Hey, i already built 2 setups with ws2812b, raspberry pi 3 and the default hdmi switch/splitter. These 2 setups only used 1080p, but now i have a new shiny 4k tv (https://nogis.at/produkt/nogis-one-55-2?v=1 , without a tv tuner, so i dont have to pay for public tv in austria ;)) and a fire tv stick 4k to have something to view on.


    I now plan on integrating a hdmi switch, so i can switch between my computer and fire tv stick. My primary source is the fire tv stick, because for the pc i "only" have a r9 390 for which i have to buy a active displayport to hdmi 2.0 adapter


    I read the https://hyperion-project.org/t…-splitter-supposedly.631/ thread, but i really dont understand which is the best splitter to choose. Since i dont have any fancy features like hdr , 10 bit, dolby vision etc l think i only need a simple 4k splitter, or am i wrong?


    I also read that i may need a splitter with 4k to 1080p downscale for the av converter, does somebody know if this is true?


    What do parts do you guys recommend for this "pipeline", does anybody have a similar setup and might want to post their parts?


    I think my setup is going to look like this:


    Fire TV Stick 4k -> HDMI Switch -> HDMI Splitter -> TV
    Computer -> R9 390 -> Club 3d DisplayPort -> Hdmi Converter -> -> Hdmi to AV -> AV -> USB -> Raspberry Pi 3 -> Arduino Nano -> WS2812B


    Thanks a lot for reading and helping me!


  • this is the one I used in combination with this
    converter, in the comments many people claim it works together, I could not verify this until now, I only get a 1080p signal to my TV through this setup.

  • The new Firetv stick 4k outputs an hdcp 2.2 signal so you will have to deal with it. As far as I know, no one has been able to get the new fire tv stick 4k to output a 4k signal through hyperion. (Unless of course you are using hdfury)


    Okay good to know!
    Do you know what would happen if i use for example this splitter:
    with this 4k converter from maxcl
    Would i only get a 1080p signal at my tv or nothing at all?

  • Ich hab gestern ein paar Sachen bestellt nach reichlich Recherche .. Schau mal hier, ich habe am ende gelistet was ich gekauft habe. Wenn du Erklärungen brauchst frag gerne nach :)

    Wenn ich das richtig sehe oder?


    289 Dollar will ich halt nicht für mein Ambilight ausgeben, mein Fernseher hat nur 650 gekostet ..xD


    Gibts da keine alternative zu dem HDFURYX? Du benutzt ja HDR, ich hab kein HDR (zb den ?)

  • Hey, wenn du kein HDR hast kannst du den X4 weglassen. Achte nur darauf, dass der von dir verlinkte HDMI => RCA Konverter HDCP 1.4 unterstützt. dann sollte es klappen. Wenn auch 4k unterstützt wird kannst du auch nen anderen Splitter nehmen. Ich würd sagen nimm den gleichen (FeinTech) aber ohne die scaler-Funktion. Das machts noch mal etwas günstiger.

  • I dont know for sure if those will work, but maybe. If you can, give them a try and let us know?


    I personally have not been able to get firetv 4k to work in 4k at all.


    Does not sound that good... :/


    Im thinking about getting this one and see if i can get a 4k signal without any ambilight stuff if i have a successful 4k signal im trying to hook up my old hdmi -> av converter. I think this wont work since the signal has hdcp 2.2 so i also plan on buying but i kind of dont want to, since this costs again 60 bucks. If i have the hdcp 1.4 signal i think my old simple converter might work

    What about the HDCP converter I suggested? It costs 35 and it is actually required to have since all spliters will output HDCP 2.2 if your source has it

    wie gut funktioniert dieser? Die 1/5 Bewertung sieht nicht so gut aus, werde den aber wahrscheinlich bestellen wenn er bei dir funktioniert



    Kennst du diesen Splitter? Laut Bild 4 kann man einen Fernseher mit 4k betreiben und den anderen mit 1080p/hdcp 1.4 sieht ja recht interessant aus
