Of course there shouldn't be - but there is. Have you used an Nvidia shield much? Let me assure you, there is an easily-visible-to-the-naked-eye difference between playing a video with the output set to RGB and playing it with the output set to YUV 4:4:4. It's just personal preference (or should be unless the Shield started messing something else up in the conversions) at that point. You can also do RGB, there shouldn't be any issues doing that at all. Timstephens24 wrote: ↑, 21:52so if you want you can do that instead of YCbCr 4:4:4 for rec.709 videos. How much of an image quality hit do you get switching to 12-bit 4:2:2 rec.2020 instead? (In my experience so far, the Shield's chroma upsampling hasn't been very good).Ĥ:2:0 10-bit YUV for rec.2020 poses a problem: it limits you to 50Hz, 59.94Hz or 60Hz refresh-rate, which will give 3:2 judder on 24fps film material. (Also because, if one is not familiar with the code, it's not obvious whether the video remains in YUV space right through the pipeline, or is converted to RGB at an intermediate stage - if that were happening then converting back to YUV again would be unhelpful.)Īlso interesting that you aren't recommending 4:2:0 8-bit in cases where the resolution and frame-rate supports it. As I recall, SPMC recommends RGB rather than YUV444, so clearly one shouldn't assume recommended settings for other Kodi forks apply here - hence why the question was an important one. If you're playing something that's rec.2020 you should manually set the Shield output to YCbCr 4:2:0 10bit Rec 2020.

If you're playing something that's rec.709 you should manually set the output of the Shield to YCbCr 4:4:4 8bit Rec 709 and let MrMC automatically switch the resolution.

How about telling us a combination of MRMC settings and Shield TV settings which gets as close as possible to objectively accurate pixel-colour values?
