Discussion Airtel Xstream STBs doesn't support both DOLBY ATMOS & UltrHD ( HDCP 2.2/2.3)

[A V Mahesh]

Hi All,

My Brother recently bought Onkyo Atmos Receivers And 4k Ultra HD TV, and we observed that our Airtel Xstream doesn't support both DOLBY ATMOS & UltrHD ( HDCP 2.2/2.3).

An interesting point is, on the same setup if we play the same content on Amazon Uttra Fire Stick 4k DOLBY ATMOS & UltrHD ( HDCP 2.2/2.3) works for the same content on the same setup, I debug the same on multiple OTT ( Hotstar / SunNext / Netflix) platforms the behaviour of Airtel Xstream is the same, it doesn't play the DOLBY ATMOS even the content is DOLBY ATMOS and the same content works on Amazon Firestick 4k.

Please find my debugging photos of Airtel Xstream VS Amazon Firestick behaviour on the same setup and for the same content and on the same OTT.

So if you wnat to realy enjoy 4K Ultra and Dolby Atmos , Xstream is not correct product ( and we are all know how Artel tecinical team works on solutions ).

Fire Stick on Hotstar ( you can see DOLBY ATMOS playing )

Xstream on Hotstar ( you can see it is playing only DOLBY Digital for the same content) :

Fire Stick on SunNext ( you can see DOLBY ATMOS playing )

Xstream on SunNext ( you can see it is playing only DOLBY Digital for the same content) :

Even Airtel team connected with the share screen and it doesn’t help, I am also much familiar with this Xsream box configuration.
