Hello folks,
It all started with researching a replacement for my ageing DVD player and I got into this act of familiarising myself with 4K upscaling.
While there are tens of very informative articles around 4K, there are a few (call it silly) doubts that crept in my mind. Would appreciate if someone can comment on or clarify the following:
Scenario 1: Having 4K upscaling on your BD/DVD player (source) will be useless if your TV/display (destination) is not 4K capable - fairly straightforward, right?
Scenario 2: If your source cannot upscale to 4K, but your destination can, then will you still be able to view in 4K (albeit with the drawbacks of upscaling)?
Scenario 3: If your source and destination are both 4K capable, then does the source take precedence (just like the DAC on your source precedes the DAC on your Amp)?
Scenario 4: If the content itself is in 4K, will it even be able to be played on a source not capable of upscaling or native 4K support? Also, does 4K upscaling itself imply native support as well?
Anticipating light at the end of the tunnel.
Cheers,
Pannaga
