Dolby Vision® signals may not be down-converted. Black image / no image will result. 4K to 1080p Down Convert Tool » When set to AUTO, KD-DA1x4DC will down convert incoming 4K content to 1080p for an individual output only if the EDID file from that individual display informs KD-DA1x4DC that the connected displays supports 1080p (not 4K). » Down Convert works individually. KD-DA1x4DC can apply resolution down conversion to any output without affecting the other output.
