Audio/Video Information - Difference between Z10 Pro Max and Z+ Neo

Hi All,

I've just purchased a Z10 Pro Max to replace my old Z+ Neo and I've spotted a suitable difference in MOL2 between the two devices.

I appreciate this is fairly nuanced and could be perceived to be pedantic but I wanted to ask all the same.

When watching a HDR channel on the Z+ Neo the A/V information, in addition to the resolution and bitrate, will confirm the colour depth and HDR type - E.G - HDR10 8Bit YUV420 or HLG 10bit etc..

When watching the same channel on the Z10 Pro Max the latter information is missing. It still shows the resolution and bitrate information but the HDR type and colour depth is missing.

Is this Android 10 related or is there a reason the older Z+ Neo provides more information than the newer Z10 Pro?

Not a big deal, simply curious.

Both boxes on the latest firmware - Same channel from the same playlist used for testing.

Hi,

different chipset and readout from data. I will put it on my list and forward to the devs. hope they find time to check reported.

If possible some Video compare from both boxes and info would be great, upload to streamable.com.

I'll do a video comparison(s) and upload it to streamable later and share the URL. Thanks Sam.

As requested.

I played the same UHD HDR channel on both devices and recorded the difference in terms of what MOL2 displays -

Z10 Pro Max - https://streamable.com/fkr1x8

I also end each clip by showing the software version on each device (for clarify and context)

Note the Z+ Neo reports 10bit HLG where as the Z10 Pro Max doesn't. I know it's not the end of the world but if MOL2 can also display this information on the Z10 Pro Max that would be great.

Hi Sam,

Same settings and same HDMI port (and cable).
