Hello there,
I'm in need of some expert advice, my simple solution is now turning into a cry for help. Any advice would be very welcomed. I've arrived at some important questions, I'll mention those first, but I'll give a detailed explanation below.
1. Does ARC support Losey Dolby Atmos? Specifically with the BenQ w2700? And if so, which cable would be required for this (1.4/2.0/2.0a/2.0b/2.1)?
2. Is it possible to use a 4k splitter (connected to an Apple TV 4K) to output separately to a 4K HDR Projector and an Atmos Reciever?
3. How are people with HDR projectors that need a 10-15 meter cable meant to go about buying HDMI cables? It seems even hdmi.org prohibits the mentioning of "2.0a 2.0b or 2.1" on the packaging and doesn't endorse cables over 3 meters.
My dilemma:
I have a BenQ HDR 4K Projector with ARC (W2700) and a Yamaha YSP-5600 with Atmos.
The Projector supports 4K HDR and the Reciever supports ATMOS, however, I'm unable to get both HDR and ATMOS working together.
The reason is the YSP-5600 doesn't support HDR (so I can't connect the projector to the Output on the Reciever) and the ARC Setup only sends Dolby Surround (according to the decoder message (which normally shows "Atmos")).
This may be due to cables, although I'm using short 2.1 and 2.0 cables for testing which I believe support HDR and Atmos.
Right now, the only solution I feel might work is to buy a splitter (question 2 above) and send two signals from my Apple TV 4K (HDR to the Projector and Atmos to the AVR). I heard this might not work due to the 2-way communication of HDMI cables...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
