Topic: HDR - 10Bit Setup?

Hi there,
Is there a way to get 10bit HDR with BT.2020 color?

I use MadVR to enable HDR playback.  When I look at the OSD for MadVR, it shows only 8Bit and BT709.

Any settings I can use to fix that?

Hi, I have used the switch "HDR=ON" in my path, which works. 

My projector gets the signal for HDR.  But MadVR shows 709 color, not 2020.

I see that same thing even if I turn on Windows HDR.

Still shows:
HDR UNKNOWN
BT.709 (Best Guess)

In DirectShow video players, e.g. MPC-HC, the only filter that can do tone mapping is madVR video renderer. So without SVP the best possible chain for HDR playback is MPC-HC -> madVR. Unfortunately ffdshow filter doesn't support neither HDR not 10-bit video, so when we insert ffdshow between MPC-HC and madVR all we get is washed-out colors as madVR is unable to do tone mapping in this case.

If you want real 10-bit - use mpv or VLC.
