PXW-X70 Cannot Playback 4K video on TV
Hi, I have a standard defination and a HD TV with HDMI inputs in which I cannot playback my 4k video straight off the camcorder. The video plays back on my ASUS PB278Q which is 1920x1080 and 2560 x 1440 without any problems through HDMI.
My XAVC HD video "will play back" on both of my TV's, but when I switch to my 4k XAVC QFHD the video won't play back. Unfortunetly, I do not have a 4K TV at this time. Is there any way to play back 4k on either one of my TV's? Thanks in advance for your help, Ray |

Re: PXW-X70 Cannot Playback 4K video on TV
This is the crux with HDMI, as there are a whole bunch of different versions. Your full HD TV will probably have an HDMI version 1.4 interface, while UHD and 4K requires an HDMI version 2 (a or b).
However you will for sure have a setting in your camcorder which downconverts UHD/4K to HD 1080p at your HDMI output of the camcorder (look into you manual how to set it). With this setting your video will be displayed at your TV. Joachim |

Re: PXW-X70 Cannot Playback 4K video on TV
Hi Joachim,
Thanks for the reply....You are exactly right. In the meantime I contacted Sony USA in which I received a very quick response as well. They also gave me a link (below) to the release notes of the 4k upgrade which includes 4k user information. I totally overlooked it upon downloading the upgrade..... My Bad. Thanks again for all your help. Ray https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.co...-XDX70V200.pdf |

Re: PXW-X70 Cannot Playback 4K video on TV
So the X70 has HDMI 2.0? I thought HDMI 1.4 could do UHD up t0 30Hz?

Re: PXW-X70 Cannot Playback 4K video on TV
Paul,
you are right. HCMI version 1.4 already supports 4K/UHD up to 30fps. For framerates above (50, 60) version 2.0 is needed. Joachim |

X70 HDMI supports UHD playback to UHD monitors. I've done it several times with different monitors.
