- The Altitude can be pretty picky about EDID changes. Always do a ¡°refresh EDID¡± on the device or do a power cycle
- If I remember correctly, the DM-stuff has some compression going on for HDR content. For home cinema applications, we always try to avoid signal distribution and go for a direct connection.
- You don?t mention a video processor in the chain, so it sounds as if you want to send an unprocessed HDR image to the projector and let the projector do the tonemapping. That?s a terrible idea since the 715ES does a horrible job on its own with HDR material. You might want to consider adding a video processor like the madVR Envy (our choice) or a Lumagen into the chain. That would provide excellent tonemapping and also solve the issue of not sending HDR over to the projector since both are sending only an SDR signal out to the projector.
Thanks for the input Thorsten!
- We're not using the TNV outputs. Its an audio 'end-point' via its own RMC 4KZ.
- Regarding the TNV and EDID, are you saying that when we change the EDIDs, we should do some sort of reset after update?
- We are considering re working our whole setup to make the Theater essentially a stand-alone setup for AV.

- "solve the issue of not sending HDR over to the projector since both are sending only an SDR signal out to the projector."
When you say this are you saying that the VidProc is taking in the HDR, processing it and sending an 'Enhanced' SDR signal to the projector? I.E. and SDR signal that looks like an HDR signal?? thus, the projector just delivers the enhanced picture without having to process the HDR itself (which you feel it does a bad job)?

This is all really good, helpful information, though the crux of my question was about how to format the video setting in an EDID for DM so that the source (KScape) with show available HDR titles.
The see-saw of HDR or Atmos is the issue with the EDIDs. Again, I've tried to copy the video settings of the projector EDID and place them with the TNV EDID but when I do this, the KScape says that the EDID does not support HDR and subsequently hides the HDR content...
It would be really great if the EDID tool could just copy the video settings from the Projector EDID and the Audio Settings from the TNV and be done, But no one at Crestron has indicated that this is possible (Which is shocking to me...)

We really aren't able to get to doing tweeky things, because we're stuck on just getting basic things to work...I should be used to this...:)
