That is why I asked you did Airtel tell this box will support Dolby Vision

Please refer one of my answer above for the same question.

In general, every app company release their version app (Netflix , prime, zee5, Sonylive ect.) per OS, for example Android os, webOS , fireOS , ect.. , then STB box company ( say Airtel, Tata, fire stick, apple) based their OS and need to support features ( say Dolby Atmos, Dolby vision, HDR+ ) , theen they design their Hardware, then test and release? This is my understanding, do you think any other process?

Please read this

XStream Box does support dolby vision but as i mentioned on custom made OTT apps for various DTH Smart Boxes, there r certain limitations as far as availability of such features across various content is concerned bcoz of different technical or contract/licensing or agreement related issues including keeping costs under check

You will always find such feature support variations across different content in different OTT apps available for Smart TV vs those made available for DTH Smart Android Boxes wherein due to above reasons / limitations one may not get exact similarly hence i said that customization is done

Dolby Atmos for Audio - this is seperate tesing and approvel and payment to Dolby org
Dolby Vision for Video - this is seperate tesing and approvel and payment to Dolby org

That means Dolby Vision won't support.

Yes I know, Airtel has mentioned only Dolby Atmos not Dolby Vision. Which one is India's first Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos set top box Sun Direct Max or Airtel Xstream?

That means Dolby Vision won't support.

May be in upcoming firmware release?

No way, Dolby Atmos is latest technology in sound and Dolby Vision is in picture, If Airtel has license for Dolby Vision they definitely advertise the feature.

@dino29 You're absolutely Right and spot on buddy. Airtel xtream 4 box Dolby vision content playing well and good there's no doubt
for processing you need mainly HDMI 2.1 version cable and supporting TV that's it

What is the version of HDMI port in XStream 4, 1.4 or 2.0 or 2.1

What is the version of HDMI port in XStream 4, 1.4 or 2.0 or 2.1

The Back pannel of Xstrem4 didn't mention, but HDMI 2.0 only can supports resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz, the current xstren4 plying 4k with 60hz properly, so it should be 2.0 or 2.1.

Where HDMI 2.1 supports 8K resolutions, while HDMI 2.0 does not. To support 4K at 120 fps it needs HDMI 2.1.
