Harmony and stage HDMI 2.1

5 replies
I was rather surprised (most prob forgot) that BO havent implemented this yet. Has anybody got around this eg when using PS5?

Thanks Vince

Because HDMI 2.1 have only something with picture. 
 4K in 120hz or 8k in 60hz. You can Connect the hdmi cable directly to the lg screen that support 2.1 on the newest tv. So why need to stress to upgrade sound center to 2.1. When its not give you anything.. :) 

Supporting the 48Gbps bandwidth is the new Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. The cable ensures ultra high-bandwidth dependent features are delivered including uncompressed 8K video with HDR. It features exceptionally low EMI (electro-magnetic interference) which reduces interference with nearby wireless devices. The cable is backwards compatible and can be used with the existing installed base of HDMI

Yes I agree but that would mean I cannot use the beoremote 1 via puc
I don’t think the PS5 supports infrared, so it probably doesn’t matter.
