One of the peculiarities of playback via AACS2 is that it has to be supported by the whole system, not just certain critical components.

On a side note, I looked at Netflix software requirements, and they updated the Netflix Windows 10 app to support 4K playback, so Edge is not the only choice anymore. I've not seen any motherboard chipset requirements listed, although that doesn't mean there are none.
(I'm guessing this means NUCs with U-series i5 or i7 Kaby Lake CPUs and HDMI 2.0 + HDCP 2.2 will be OK too.). However, there is at least one notebook with a U-series i5 or i7 Kaby Lake CPU, the Lenovo Yoga 910, which is known to work for Netflix 4K streaming. They also list a motherboard with a 200-series chipset as required.

I would have expected the hardware requirements for Netflix 4K Streaming and UHD Blu-ray playback on a PC to be identical too, but after looking at the detailed hardware requirements for Pioneer's UHD Blu-ray drives a few days ago, it appears they overlap but are not the same.īeyond the requirement for SGX, Pioneer's hardware requirements state that a S-series or H-series i5 or i7 Kaby Lake CPU is required and that U-series i5 or i7 Kaby Lake CPUs are incompatible. So it might be the same for UltraHD Blu-ray. Netflix 4K on Windows only runs on Kaby Lake but it works even when SGX is turned off/not supported. You list Intel SGX as required but I wouldn't be too sure of it. The latest AMD and NVIDIA cards might just need new Windows 10 drivers.) (The latest discrete graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA haven't been totally ruled out yet. Ryzen hasn't been released yet, either, so it is too soon to rule out a combination of a Ryzen CPU and a certified discrete graphics card. Zen APUs won't be released until even later in the year. They are undoubtedly a condition for getting the drive licensed. Only a deperado would really accept so much lockin ? Any PC UHD Blu-ray drive will have the same hardware and software requirements. Pioneer can take the biggest running jump in the lake that they can imagine managing. The drives will use the integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 GPU of the Intel Core processors for Ultra HD Blu-ray content."Ĭutting out AMD (CPU/GPU) and Nvidia (GPU) ?
"In order to play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, users are required to run Windows 10 on a PC with at least 6GB RAM and either a Core i5 or Core i7 of the Kaby Lake (7th) generation. It must be built in by the manufacturer.nor will a Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0a converter provide HDCP 2.2, because DisplayPort 1.2 doesn't support HDCP 2.2.īut as Sneaker wrote, only a Kaby Lake CPU supports the necessary DRM. You cannot add an LSPCON to a motherboard yourself. I found a better list for compatible motherboards than mine: There may be others, but I haven't found them yet.
Even a Skylake CPU isn't enough.Ĭurrent motherboards which are supposed to have HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2:ĪSRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac - confirmed to work here

Could you give me examples of this motherboard? Where do I get a LSPCON? There are some Z170 and Z270 series motherboards available which have the necessary HDMI connection, but as Sneaker wrote, only a Kaby Lake CPU supports the necessary DRM. It requires the addition of an LSPCON (level shifter protocol converter) on the motherboard. HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 on the motherboard is uncommon because it is not native to Kaby Lake. HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 on the motherboard because the drives will use the integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 GPU of the Intel Core processors for Ultra HD Blu-ray content.
