madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

I need to send metadata even in SDR passthrough when I want to force the BT2020 colorspace. I also use the BT2020 flag in the calibration tab to switch calibration automatically with the HD Fury Maestro between my rec-709 and my DCI-P3 calibration. That's using pixel shader tonemapping.

Welp I spoke too soon, I'm still getting 4.9% or so of clock deviation on every file I play, 1080p or 4k. I did a clean install of NVidia 416.95 drivers and my refresh rate is still reporting as 62.95254Hz for my Sony projector.

My hardware setup is PC>Denon 6300H>Projector so I can't really change that, also nuking Windows and shotgunning the whole install is not an option really either.

Surely there is a more surgical approach I can take to chasing down this issue????

Windows 10 x64
1070ti 416.95
Kodi 17 DSPlayer
MadVR 0.92.17
LAV 0.70.2.81-git
Passthru audio
No reclock

Just wanted to write this to thank Madshi for all the work. I finally found the optimal settings for 4k and started using a 3dlut file which I ramdomly found in a guide which works fantastically well for shadows.
It really looks amazing and I am very thankful for this renderer, it's superbly done.
Idling about 65% with a 2070 rtx.

What I love is the sharpness it's really astounding how crisp the quality is, the smoothness of light and shadows.
I have yet to fix full rgb since my reciever don't support it, but still looks incredible. Thanks man it's now very pleasing to watch 4k!

maybe you should add a reason why a HTPC user should care?

[madshi]

Probably an HTPC user wouldn't care, unless the "any source" bit interests you. Anyway, just wanted to give you guys here the heads up on what I've been up to lately.

"Any Source" <--- this is the magic unicorn sparkles, send content from anything and get MadVR tone mapping WITHOUT needing a HTPC, yes please with a cherry on top!!!

My guess is "Any Source" is gonna be "Any HDMI Source". So it's gonna be a small box you put between your TV and an HDMI source and it's gonna tonemap.

OR

Re-encoding software that applies madvr's tonemapping and outputs to a file instead of the screen.

I know it's very early, but can anyone comment on 2160p upscaling performance with the new GTX 1660 Ti, using 720p and 1080p sources?

Suspect NGU is out of the question - is this card capable of 60FPS smoothmotion Lanczos/Jinc/XBR etc?

Building a second HTPC and don't want to break the bank with a 1080/2080 card. Thanks!

Removed some posts about a wild mischaracterization of the newsletter signup and the optional user survey that follows.

Thanks for the heads up, madshi. The prospect of being able to apply madvr tone mapping to any source is rather exciting!

[madshi]

Thank you, foxyshadis!

[jmone]

Nice - my guess is it is madVR in a standalone dongle/box/hw Thingie!

[foxyshadis]

If someone would like to offer a constructive idea for improvement, instead of accusing one of the most respected developers this forum's ever had of being a spammer and scammer (of what?), let's have it. Accusations, insults, and trolling are not welcome here (nor is trolling back, for some of you).

So let's take a moment to breathe, assume good faith, and approach this in a calmer manner.

Madshi, maybe redirecting to a page that says "Thank you for signing up for the newsletter; click here to take an optional short user survey so I can better understand how you use the software."

You can see this if you set colorspace to RGB (what it should be according to the GPU settings): you get the wrong colors. The only way to get correct colors in 12bits is to set the JVC to 422 or auto. This has been reported to JVC so hopefully will be fixed by f/w in the new models.

Manni can you help me please as Im no expert on this...
Ive had the NX9 for about 3 weeks, I set the 1080Ti card to RGB 0-255 12bits and madvr to the same. I noticed weeks ago that my NX9 wouldnt display when I set it to RGB, however it only worked if I left it on Auto. I thought it was odd as in the past I had my X9900 set to RGB and everything was fine, I believe if all in the chain is set to RGB, the proj should be in RGB, is that correct?

I have a feeling now that since Im using 12bit and auto on the NX9 that Im now doing a conversion to 422 which I believe isnt good....

Am I ok with how I have the card/madvr/NX9 setup at the moment or should I be changing everything to 8bit until JVC fix this?

Thank you manni...

Still chewing on this refresh issue, is this normal for the display Hz to be different from the source and composition Hz?

Based on the specs, it's going to be somewhere between a 1060 6G and a 1070 in performance, probably closer to a 1070.

I'm wondering about the HDCP implications for a device of that sort.

Thanks for the suggestion (and your very nice words), I actually like your idea. But after thinking about it a bit more, I think I'd still prefer to keep things as they are right now, because I'm getting really high survey participation, and I fear adding another link in between might lower the participation rate a bit.

But in order to remove any reason for user complaints, I've decided to delete my earlier post which linked to the newsletter/survey. I think my target audience for the newsletter is probably reading other forums, anyway. So it's not a big loss for me to lose the post/links here. I'll keep this thread focused on the madVR software.

Will the dongle only do dynamic tone-mapping ?

Is it going to support 3dLut and Calibration ?

ALSO, NGU ??, what's happening to that ??
