The blue OLED on top shows the live link rate and what each side is asking for. The built-in web server, reachable from any browser on your network, shows the whole EDID of both ends next to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd then you decide.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror the display's own EDID, load one of 100 stored tables, upload an EDID file of your own, or keep the real EDID and flip single flags: cap the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.drhdmi8k.com\/glossary\/frl\/\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFRL\u003c\/a\u003e rate, switch VRR and ALLM on or off, advertise HDR10 or HDR10+ with or without HLG, hand the source the display's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.drhdmi8k.com\/glossary\/dolby-vision\/\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDolby Vision\u003c\/a\u003e block while the AVR keeps the audio, or take a capability away to see what changes.

Your source reads that list and picks what to send. DR HDMI 8K sits in between, so you decide which list the source reads — the real one, one of 100 stored tables, or the real one with single flags changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it convert or downscale anything?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Video and audio pass through unchanged; the unit repeats and equalises the signal and controls the EDID. Audio is never down-converted, so Dolby TrueHD, Atmos and DTS:X keep their original form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it give me 4K120 or 8K60 on hardware that does not support it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The maximum formats are 4K120 4:4:4 10-bit, 8K60 4:2:0 10-bit and 8K30 4:2:2 12-bit over the 48Gbps FRL6 link, but source, display and cable must each support the mode you ask for. What the unit adds is a way to see which side falls short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it add input lag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput lag is below 1 ms, so it is suitable for gaming chains with VRR and ALLM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I update the firmware?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the built-in web server over Ethernet.
