DisplayPort Video Options
DIFFERENCE! DisplayPort inputs are available in certain models, -D
letter the model name refers to that (see the
table).
▪ If the emulated EDID does not support the deep color signal
(10, 12-bit), and the incoming video is deep colored, then the
video processor converts the signal to 8-bit automatically. The
compatible color depths can be checked in the
Lightware Device Controller software.
▪ The factory default EDID (F49 - 1920x1080p60.00Hz) has
deep color support up to the full HD resolution. When
the resolution of the incoming video signal is more than
the full HD with deep color (e.g. 4K@30Hz with 10-bit or
12-bit), the color depth is reduced to 8-bit.
If the signal is 4K@30Hz with 10-bit or 12-bit, using F146
▪
EDID (3840x2160@60Hz with deep color support) is highly
recommended.
DisplayPort signals over 18Gbps will be converted down by
▪
either truncating bit depth or by converting RGB signal to YCbCr
4:2:2 12-bit signal based on user selection. The second option
will not reduce the color depth rather, it results in loss of chroma
information.

de-embed the audio of the HDMI output stream. Please note that
only stereo LPCM can be de-embedded from the HDMI signal.
