Looking for recommendations on hardware upgrades to enable monitoring of 4k HDR video on a new Samsung QN900A. Currently I can get a 4k image to the TV, but not the HDR metadata. I figure I am missing some key hardware. So, looking for some advice on what to buy. I see potential devices mentioned in the manual: Decklink 8K, DeckLink 4k Extreme 12G and UltraStudio 4k Extreme. But not sure if any additional gear is required to marry the HDR metadata into the HDMI signal.
One issue is that my current motherboard is limited to a single available PCIe slot (I am running two GPUs and that configuration limits my available PCIe slots). The 4k Extreme cards (double-decker build w/daughter card on it) would not fit in my system (but could fit with daughter card removed). Perhaps, the external Ultrastudio 4k would work?
Anyway, I am unsure what is recommended for a solid setup for HDR monitoring.
Current setup is:
The Decklink 4k Pro sends video to the external Teranex via single SDI. The Teranex sends video to the HDMI TV and SDI to Flanders BM210.
So, that is my current setup. Now just trying to determine what is needed to pipe 4K HDR out of Resolve to the new HDR TV via HDMI.
I see in the manual it says "If you have a DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G or UltraStudio 4k extreme, then you can output the metadata necessary to correctly display HDR video signals to displays using HDMI 2.0a when you turn on Enable HDR metadata over HDMI in the Master Settings."
