Hi
I cannot get the Eclipse to play UHD 10 bit from the sky Q box.. When I queried this with B&O they replied as follows:
It is not possible with Beovision Eclipse since the HDMI 2.0 input does not support UHD 10 bit full-colour sub-sampling 4:4:4 above 30 FPS, in other words, the TV does not support 4K 60Hz 10 bit input
This rather surprised me, so I consulted the manual and I attach an extract from it entitled HDMI Ultra HD Deep Colour, and wondered if this has anything to do with it. I have the setting switched to on
I am no techie and a lot of this is over my head.. Could someone please explain it all in simple language?
I suppose my basic question is, should I give up ever being able to watch UHD 10 bit with my present setup?

Thanks for your interest Aussie Michael. A couple of points
1. I can connect to sky q with UHD 8 bit, just not 10 bit
2. The quote in my original post is from Bang & Olufsen support, and the message is clear The Eclipse is not capable of receiving UHD 10 bit with YCbCr 4:4:4. I have no idea what the latter refers to. Is this how sky q transmits?
3. The attachment to this post is the same extract from the manual you refer to, and the chart seems to lend credence to what B&O says, IF that is how sky q transmits
4. The chart seems to indicate that 10 bit transmission is possible with YCbCr 4:2:0, but I have no idea what the difference is
Can you explain any of this? What exactly is YCbCr, and the various numbers that come after it? Under what circumstances can I get UHD 10 bit?
Hi again Aussie Michael. Any thoughts on the YCbCr thing?
Have you purchased your Eclipse early in 2017 or in the first half of 2018? There was a problem in the early sets where 10 bit UHD did not work properly at 60 Hz.
A new DSS board in the Sound Center that fixed the problem was released after and the early sets had to be fixed.
The replacement of the board is done under warranty.

Hi jvezina
That would have been a good reason. Unfortunately I only purchased it in 2020. Any thoughts about the extract from the manual I have attached?
