I'm currently having an issue with my set-up that I'm interested to resolve.
I use a PC as a source playing back local content using JRiver. The PC has a 2070 Super graphics card in it.
The GPU has two outputs connected
- one to my desktop monitor which has a res of 5120 x 1440 and supports 30Hz and 60Hz.
- one over a 15m HDMI cable to a Marantz AV7702 (using an amazonbasics HDMI cable).
The Marantz is then connected using a 15m fibre cable to the Projector, a JVC HD750.
All my content is 1080p maximum. Anything that's 4k is downscaled by MadVR and sent out as 1080 SDR.
My issue is that I can't get this playback chain to play anything over 24fps. If I connect the PC directly to the PJ I can get 23, 24, 25, 30, 50, 60fps so I know they both support it. When I change the desktop res to 1080p50 I get a message on the JVC that suggests no signal.
When playing content I turn off the monitor and just have the Processor and PJ on. I've tried disconnecting the monitor too, just in case that was causing some weird issue.
Is it my long hdmi cable that's causing the issue? Would a fibre cable solve my issue? Or is there a fundamental problem with the Marantz? I've googled but can't find anything and the manual suggests that it should support 50 and 60Hz.
Any thoughts would be welcomed. It's not a huge issue as we mainly us it for movie watching and they're usually at 23.976 which plays fine. I get a frame drop every so often when there's a mismatch and most of the time it's not noticeable. I just know that it's capable of doing it so I want it to, you know?
