Dear all,
I spent a lot of time over the most recent lockdown backing up my collection of UHD Blu Ray Dolby Vision Atmos discs to file. I am almost complete and the ones I have done are now on an 8TB external usb 3.0 hard drive in .mkv format. I have been waiting for delivery of a Panasonic JZ2000, which is due to arrive over the next few days, in time for Christmas. My question is, can I simply connect the external hard drive to the usb 3.0 port on the JZ2000 and watch the content in full Dolby Vision and Atmos?
From my research, I am aware that the file format .mkv, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are all supported by the JZ200 without the need for an additional AV receiver. My only concern is that the file sizes range between 60GB and 120GB. Can the JZ2000 handle these sizes of files via USB? Would I need to use an alternative method of playing these files through the JZ2000? Would a dedicated media 'box' such as the Amazon Fire Cube or Nvidia Shield be required.
I am not interested in setting up a server or NAS to stream the files, I simply want to play my files back from USB storage, for my family to watch in full Dolby Vision and Atmos through the JZ2000.
Please advise.
With thanks in advance.
