Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box
Question about Play HDMI Sync Box - 372505
Hello together Since today I have the Hue Sync Box with Gradient Lightstripes. TV: Sony KD-65XH9005 Swisscom Box: 2.0 UHD Entertainment OS: OS 5.0 Router: Internet Box 2 HDMI cable: SWB-SyncBox-TV both original Swisscom HDMI Premium cable (also tried with 8K HDMI 2.1 cable) The synchronisation now works after about 50 nervous breakdowns. --->>>Following problem:<<<--- Swisscom TV throttles the video output to 1280x720p /50Hz (SD quality). wtf?! Wiso? The UHD test in the SWB settings as well as HDR says that "no devices HDCP 2.2 / no devices via HDMI 2.0 cable" etc.. As mentioned above, already tried with original Swisscom cables as well as 8K etc. -> in vain! I have also changed everything on the Sony TV: colour space, HDR, etc. -> without success! -> without success! The funny thing is this: With the Sony UHD Blu-ray player UBP-X700 EVERYTHING works perfectly in 4K resolution (tested with Youtube videos). Either I'm too stupid or the SwisscomBox is Sch****, the problem with HDCP2.2 is "very special" with the SwisscomBox anyway. Many thanks for your constructive solutions
Hello Anonymus I have a similar setup, but with a Samsung TV and the latest Swisscom TV box - everything works for me. I can't tell you where the error is in your case. Does the TV only have one HDMI connection with UHD support? Have you ever tried a different HDMI input on the TV? I had the same problem with my old Samsung TV, which only had one UHD input. By the way, 8K cables are useless because the HUE sync box only transmits UHD...;)
