Raspberry Pi 4 - Hackdot

I'm cannot determine if the HEVC hardware decoding is full 10bit or only 8bit. A lot of SDR content is encoded in 10 bit for the space savings (or so I've read).

I asked about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20261086

According to the response I've gotten so far, it will not support HDR or 10 bit. :-( However, the vast majority of SDR content is 8 bit. The few exceptions are mostly a few pirate groups who mostly encode anime.

Edit: this is apparently now in doubt.

The LibreELEC developer said that the hardware is HDR (10bit) compatible and "only" the software side is missing for now.

Thanks! That's what I seem to be seeing elsewhere now too, although the main site is now down (for me), so I haven't been able to confirm as much as I'd like.

I think I might go ahead and put in a preorder.
