I think I am getting confused, maybe someone can help me understand. Is the purpose of this device to allow true 4k content to be displayed on an older 4k device, i.e. one that has an older HDCP version? What was the purpose of including a 1080p TV in the test, if it could never display anything in HDR / 4k anyway, with or without the device?

Or more specifically, content that the source has tagged "high value" which is often 4k. > What was the purpose of including a 1080p TV in the test, if it could never display anything in HDR / 4k anyway, with or without the device? From the article: > I wanted to see whether or not there’d be a visual indication that the Fire TV was playing lower quality content.
- gosub100 3y agoIf he didn't use the 1080p TV and only had the 4K, then 1 of the following would happen: 1 black screen 2 1080p playback 3 4K playback if he got (2), he wouldn't be able to tell if the problem was with (HDCP+4K) or just (4K). Proving that it works in 1080p on a TV that doesn't even know what 4K is establishes the baseline and eliminates the ambiguity.
