Is it normal for composition rate to be 60Hz at Exclusive FullScreen mode when the display is at 23.976?

Whenever I switch back to windowed or normal fullscreen composition is 23.976 (normal)

Think thats an indication bug that happens sometimes rather than it actually going to 60Hz.

So it's nothing to be worried about? The TV is set to 23.976

what windows version is used and is it a dual screen setup?

Windows 10, single screen.

you usually get huge playback problems and judder.
thsi depends heavy on the windows version and the number of screens.
for some setup there are work arounds for some there are none.


edit:

for win 10 you can try different version of it and make sure you are using the newest driver. in term of desktop composition it is a total disaster that changes with every WDDM version.
overlay rendering should be immune to issues from composition rates.
BTW win 8 fixed this issue completely but well they broke it for 10 again.

Weirdly enough I got no judder or playback problems at all.

I use latest version (windows 1803)

If you are in FSE mode, then you would not have any composition rate, since the entire point of FSE is to avoid the compositor.

It's a JS9000 I believe it can display around 65% of BT2020 colors.

But since it's configuered for BT709 you're saying the colors outside that will be clipped?Yes.

Is it better to just change the color space to "native" on the TV? Is there any point "calibrating" for Rec2020 [...]?Native is what would make the best use of the available bit depth against the real gamut your screen can display, but obviously it's not a standard so you'd need to provide madVR with 3DLUTs for your screen for all the standard colour spaces so it could map each to your native gamut.
But 3DLUT can cause issues as several people have shared here (and you need software that can generate them), so I think the best would be to calibrate your screen to the standard closest to, but bigger than, its native gamut, so probably DCI-P3 (or BT.2020 if the native gamut goes beyond DCI-P3 but I doubt this is the case) and then choose that as a gamut setting under the "this display is already calibrated" option. madVR will then map all content to DCI-P3 which your screen will be calibrated to so you'll still have correct colours with BT.709 encoded content but less clipping with BT.2020 encoded content.

for win 10 you can try different version of it and make sure you are using the newest driver. in term of desktop composition it is a total disaster that changes with every WDDM version.My 2 cents, using Win10 on NVIDIA: whatever the driver version, I always got perfect playback (no glitches) in windowed mode with 1607 and 1703. Since updating to 1709 I sometimes get one or two presentation glitches per movie but I never notice anything when watching so I don't know how exactly they manifest in practice.

even than it can break it and should not do this but this is clearly happening i mean you are not supposed to have a composition rate in FSE.

i personally only saw any issues with dual screen setup which depends heavily on the OS and driver version and my HTPC was not effectted by this ever.

So for now just put it to "disable calibration" and TV settings to native or "auto".

HDR calibration seems way too tricky for me.

Screenshot your OSD plz.

Please take a look.

you play a 60 fps file at 30 hz and your rednertimes are way to high they need to be below 16 ms.

Hey guys, been a while.

I am trying to setup a complete 10-bit 4:4:4 chain on my setup, to play HD and UHD with HDR on my LG B6 OLED TV.
I'm using Win 10 1803, madvr 92.14 and nightly LAV with last MPC-HC. Nvidia driver 385.28 for my GTX 1060, using a custom res for 23 Hz.

I have been following a kodi setup guide which has some of this stuff. But it seems something is wrong since when my TV switches to HDR mode (icon pops up and madvr shows NV HDR) I get green/magenta tint on the whole screen output, desktop as well as the video. I have to go to Nvidia control panel to change the refresh rate or resolution to get it "back to normal". This does not happen for normal SD/HD content.

Settings as follows:

TV:
I am using "PC" label for the HDMI input for the OLED and I've activated Deep Color on HDMI 1 (which is the one I use). Set to "High" to receive 0-255 signals.

Madvr 0.92.14:
PC levels 0-255
native display bitdepth set to 10-bit
disable calibration controls
switch to matching display mode 2160p23, 2160p25, 2160p29, 2160p30
let madvr decide for HDR (also tested with passthrough, same result)
use Direct3D 11 for presentation

Nvidia control panel:
12-bit output for all resolutions (10-bit is not an option, only 8 and 12), with RGB Full

LAV video:
D3D11 Hardware Decoder (automatic native)

Does anyone know of a complete guide how to get this right, in particular for LG OLEDS?

Thanks.

you play a 60 fps file at 30 hz and your rednertimes are way to high they need to be below 16 ms.

Forgive me my ignorance, but the data says that the file is 30hz and not 60. And how do I adjust my rendertimes?

huhn
9th June 2018, 15:05
the data says it is 30 before deinterlancing and deinterlancing is doubling the frame rate.

and about your rendertimes so i see nothing why it is so high i have no clue what type of hardware you are using.

smoothmotion at 30 hz with a 60 hz source my needs a lot of processing power but i never really checked that.

The complete guide says NOT to change your HDMI input to "PC". I guess this is a requirement on your LG. Samsung which I use, it isn't. I would also add 2160p24 as a resolution/rate madVR can switch to. Yours is missing. And if after you manually switch resolution/rate in NCP it fixes, then I guess it isn't auto switching. I assume adding the resolution/rate so it can switch would help provided that is the problem resolution/rate. I'd also try without the custom res. You might also try FSE vs windowed although that makes no difference on my panel. Lastly try BT709 with PPC at 2.20 passing through and sending metadata.

For the green/magenta tint, try disabling HDMI Deep Color. It could also be the custom resolution. In fact, that seems most likely. The LG OLED shouldn't have an issue with receiving RGB 12-bit with HDR metadata. Some projectors add this tint when set to anything besides Y'CbCr. Either the GPU is outputting this tint or the TV is misinterpreting what it is receiving.

Asmodian says the gamut coverage in PC mode with LG OLEDs is poor compared to the video modes. This was measured with a colorimeter. It might be worth sacrificing 4:4:4 for better color representation.

I would also suggest trying another hardware decoder, but it shouldn't fix things by changing the resolution.

Three years on and i'm still having an issue with Full Screen Exclusive.

I just bought a new 32 Inch monitor (Acer BM320), 10 bit panel so I thought i'd give FSE a try again. On my very old 27 inch 4K screen it was such a hassel I ended up disabling it for good.

Still a mess. I'm using Potplayer with FSE enabled and FSE D3D11 in MadVR, issues:

- It takes several seconds to load a video
- Mass load of dropped frames whilst doing it (same when scrubbing through a video)
- No easy way to close the damn thing without clicking the escape button to window it, then close.

Have I done something wrong with my settings because to me for years it's felt like a completely pointless feature for the hassel is causes, yet it's the only one that allows 10 bit.

- It takes several seconds to load a video
the load times should be the same the biggest problem is that TV screen can take a long time to change there mode. it's so short on normal monitors hardly a thing.
- Mass load of dropped frames whilst doing it (same when scrubbing through a video)
there should be not difference between windowed mode seeking or FSE seeking it is doing the same.
- No easy way to close the damn thing without clicking the escape button to window it, then close.

not sure how dumb potplayer is but double click is the usual way to get out of it...

FSE should be dropped.

The issue with this is how does one watch 4k bluray videos with 10bit color? anything outside FSE has a limit of showing 8bit.

Ok after more testing I can finally show what I was talking about the "more washed out" picture from MadVR compared to my OPPO.

I did a small test here, output at 1080p23 and 2160p23.
When watching 1080p I had YPbPr 4:2:0 and 8bits.
When using 2160 I had RGB Full 12bits.

https://thumb.ibb.co/cvRWso/1080p.png (https://ibb.co/cvRWso) https://thumb.ibb.co/fPYpdT/2160p.png (https://ibb.co/fPYpdT)

This movie has tons of grain and this is good to show what I can't explain in words.
Look at the tree in the middle of the screen, can you see those dark green squares? It seems like MadVR is adding too much noise to the picture. I don't know if that is calling banding or ringing or aliasing.

I would like to try something here, output 1080p content as raw as possible to my display for testing.
How can I do that?
Even outputing 1080p23 MadVR will upscale chroma.
Is there any other renderer that can do absolut no scalling just for some testing here?

You can't use a PC to output 4:2:2/4:2:0 from a source directly to a display because it's always converted to RGB at some point.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the proper settings I should use for my Kuro Plasma TV's Film Mode (frame interpolation)
(such as if exclusive mode is better for that or not, or if present Vsync every frame should be disabled or? how many frames should be presented in advance? I'm just throwing paint at the wall; I have no idea.)

My TV has a Smooth setting (soap opera effect), and an Advanced setting (1080p24 interpolated to 72hz - gives very smooth camera panning without the Soap Opera effect)

When I use my bluray player with its 1080p24 mode, both of these modes work flawlessly (though I really only use Advanced for the 72hz interpolation of course)

However on my PC, things get wonky.
I have MadVR set to use 1080p23
My GTX1070 manages this just fine and I get less than 0.00% frame difference on a 23.976 video file.

However both Smooth and Advanced settings on my TV (connected via HDMI) result in spotty interpolation at best; if ever.
I can notice Smooth is semi-working, though it never results in a Soap Opera effect so I know it's not working correctly.

If I compare my Amazing Spider-man 2 blu ray to the 1080p MKV, or Batman 1989 blu ray vs 1080p MKV, the difference is evident and noticeable.

I'm not sure if it's nVidia Control Panel stuff I need to change, or MadVR stuff. I don't know where to go from here or maybe it's just impossible for my TV to do whatever processing it's supposed to do when coming from a PC/or Media Player Classic signal; strangely Amazon Prime video, that I play in my web browser seems to interpolate much more noticeably on 1080p23.
(also Dog Nmad, ufck these "random question"s)

10th June 2018, 07:32
it is not possible to send 4:2:0 at 23 hz with HDMI and it is not possible to sue it at 1080p at all. so it is not possible to send an BD image untouched.

it'S not even the same screen so there is nothing to really look at.
and what upscaler and settings are you using?
with out a source i woudl say the image is full of compression artifacts that are either amplified with enhanced image details or are there in the first place.

ryrynz
10th June 2018, 09:14
The only thing I can suggest to you is to never use Smooth Motion with any frame interpolation. You'll have to nut this out yourself..
In saying that ideally you want to create a custom mode that achieves no dropped frames on typical playback. It's likely that doing this will achieve the same results as blu-ray playback.

I'm using heater settings from Asmodian thread: Madvr settings explained.
I typed it wrong. The 1080p23 image is 4:2:2. The lowest I could find.

I know those are not the same frames but you can see green blocks on the black background, right? Those are only present in the 2160p23 output.

Could this be related to something I was reading about dithering twice? I don't know how said something that you should not use 10bits on MadVR because you will be dithering twice or something?

Also, when outputing at 1080p23 the only thing I see is chroma beeing upscaled but I'm getting 18ms of rendering time?
This doesn't seem right with a 1080Ti. No dropped frames though.

huhn

try default settings first.

and 4:2:2 is not working that way the image is RGB.

I can't tell what's going on in those images, either. I doubt it has anything to do with the chroma.

If you think you are getting a better image with 8-bit Y'CbCr, I would try outputting in Y'CbCr or RGB at 8-bits. Added noise is either due to bad upscaling, the source having these artifacts or banding due to bad color conversions by the display.

Hi Guys.. I am hoping that someone with knowledge for JVC projectors using madVR to convert HDR to SDR can help me.. I have played around with the settings and seem to have got things nice and balanced.. However I would appreciate if you could please look at the images attached in order to advise me if you can spot any errors in my settings...

JVC projectors with their natural HDR mode has never been pleasing to me.. The picture seems too dark and doesn't seem right.. I am using madVR to convert HDR to SDR using pixel shadings and the result is much more pleasing.. Below attached images will give you an idea of my used settings which I would really appreciate if you could spot out any errors or advise me to change a particular setting.. Many thanks in advance..

PS: here is a link I uploaded on YouTube to show the results :

Wow I finally had a few minutes to upgrade my HTPC with the june 5th nvidia driver (don't have the version off hand right now but it's the latest as of this writing). I am super impressed. I've had lots of problems with my setup in the past few months with dropped and repeated frames and all that. The latest nVidia driver allows me to set madvr to full 10bit, driver to full 12 bit, and TV to accept 4:4:4. PQ is phenomenal and dropped frames while bitstreaming audio seem to be extremely rare now. Good job nVidia! I've not tested 3D but hey this is pretty sweet for 2D!

You options on the JVC are good, but your peak brightness in MadVR is too low. With 200nits, you are compressing highlights way too much with bright titles (those with MaxCLL above 2000nits). You have a new (as in recent) JVC model that gives this information in the info screen, so use it.

A good rule of thumb for peak brightness in MadVR for JVC users is around four time the actual peak brightness. For example, I have 120nits in low lamp (2200hours), so I use 480nits for 4000nits titles. With 1000nits titles, you might want to keep using 200nits. I have 170nits in high lamp, so I use around 650nits. That gives you a brightness factor of 4.

Hopefully we'll soon get a variable in MadVR which will allow us to select a different profile according to the content, and when the tonemapping is sorted we'll work on improving it with dynamic behaviour optimized for projector.

You can also ask calibration specific questions in the JVC Autocal thread over at AVS, lots of good people who know a lot about the JVC and will be happy to help re questions about HDR calibration that are not specific to MadVR.

In the meantime, be patient! :)

I assume its Driver Version 398.11. After reading your post I thought I would try again as I had the same old issues with this driver and not saving custom resolutions.

This time I used DDU to wipe out any remnants of my older driver 390.77 which is the one I have had success with for frame rates.

Wiped, and then restarted and installed 398.11, tried a video and yes it looks like as I said previously in another post Nvidia seem to have created a 23.976 fix, but for me it was Frame repeats every 12 minutes which I verified watching a video.

I then tried to create a custom resolution, and again and again, it would switch to the 23 mode when you selected test, but after you selected ok, the custom resolution dissapeared, tried various times no joy.

Used the madVR custom res mode and it created one, it said I would have frame repeats every 7 hours, went into control panel, and yes there was a custom mode there, tried a video, and same again, drops every 12 minutes ish. So I then amended the madVR custom mode in Nvidia Control Panel, and no matter what I changed the frame rate seems to be locked by Nvidia for me.

Unsure if it is because I am Bitstreaming and others are not to see the benefit, ah well.

The nitts situation makes sense, however I always use low lamp and I don't know how many nitts it produces.. I don't have the tool to measure it but I will have a play around 400 to 500 nitts in madVR and see how it looks.

Do you mind explaining what the info of maxCALL/maxFALL actually mean? Thank you [emoji106]

In MadVr I use "PROCESS HDR CONTENT BY USING PIXEL SHADER MATH", as with my OPTOMA UHZ65 laser I can get an excellent HDR image, being the vpr very bright, so I do not feel the need to convert the hdr into sdr, also "PROCESS HDR ....." gives me a better image than "PASSTHROUGH HDR" .... in this regard I wanted to know if the function "measure each frame's peak luminance" affects the overall image to me it would seem yes, but I also wait for other opinions
PS: My vpr in HDR was calibrated not with the 3dlut as in sdr, but manually with the commands of the vpr, (white point 80 and 20ire and cms 8 points) using the test disk RYAN MASCIOLA HDR10 and CHROMAPURE, then in MadVr uses "this display is already calibrated" and BT.2020.

I managed to get the Nvidia custom resolution to save for 24Hz. When I specified that as a resolution for madVR to switch to now my 23.976 stuff launches with the 24Hz custom res and I don't get frame drops. I'll switch it back to 23Hz when the driver isn't borked, down side is I can't switch to 10-bit output with this driver at this refresh rate.

That is really weird. I'm not having the same issue creating the custom res. I did it two different ways...once with madvr and once manually and both were able to stick. Madvr told me I was going to get a frame repeat every 10 or so minutes but upon validating by watching a movie it was 1 frame repeat every 45 minutes or so which I can live with. This is while bitstreaming. This is the best I've seen in many months so I'm rather happy. I've not tested 3D yet and I'm sure that's going to be a whole different ballgame.
