DUNE HD / MEDIA PLAYER

Dune HD Pro Vision 4K Solo + Vertex

This guide gives the exact Dune menu for Dolby Vision on the Pro Vision 4K Solo: TV-led Dolby Vision for a DV TV and LLDV for an HDR10 projector behind the original Vertex.

Dune HD Pro Vision 4K Solo (Realtek), firmware 210214_0331_r17 up to 240619_0210_r22. Other Realtek 'Vision' players (Pro Vision 4K, Max Vision 4K, Real Vision 4K) have their own firmware pages; check that your model's notes list the same menu. Not covered: Dune Media Center app devices (Premier 4K Pro, Homatics; see the Dune HD guide) and the 8K models.

DOLBY VISION WITH THIS SETUP

The Pro Vision 4K Solo has an explicit Dolby Vision output mode (Auto / LLDV / STD DV), so it can feed both a Dolby Vision TV and an HDR10 projector through the Vertex.

Native Dolby Vision: YESDolby Vision output mode = Auto or STD DV. Dune: STD DV means 'processing is led by the TV'.
LLDV via the Vertex: YESDolby Vision output mode = LLDV. Dune: 'Dolby Vision processing is led by the player'. Since firmware 210227_1631_r17, Dolby Vision can be forced even when the player thinks the display has no Dolby Vision.
HDR10: YESHDR processing mode = Auto outputs HDR10 for HDR10 content.

Before you start

Update the firmware. The HDR and Dolby Vision settings menu needs 210214_0331_r17 or later; forcing Dolby Vision needs 210227_1631_r17 or later.
All settings below are under Setup / Video / HDR and Dolby Vision settings.
LLDV = player-led Dolby Vision output. VS10 = Dolby's conversion engine in HDR processing mode. They are not the same thing.

1. Basic picture settings

THE VERTEX PART

Vertex settings for this setup

Dolby Vision TV: connect the TV to the Vertex BOTTOM output and follow part A — EDID "COPY BOT SINK" (or Automix with "DV Force Metadata"), No Scaling, InfoFrame tools off.
HDR10 projector or TV (LLDV): follow part B — upload an LLDV EDID into a free custom slot (CUSTOM 4–10) and select it for the Vertex input this player is connected to. Then make the display switch to HDR (part B2).
The Dune connects to a Vertex input; a Dolby Vision TV goes on the Vertex BOTTOM output, an HDR10 projector gets the LLDV EDID route.
Dune is not on HDfury's LLDV source list, but Dune documents LLDV output itself.
With LLDV forced on the Dune (firmware 210227_1631_r17+), the player sends LLDV even if the EDID does not report Dolby Vision.

Switch these off

VS10 options in HDR processing mode while you testThey convert other formats to Dolby Vision, which hides whether real Dolby Vision is working.
Dolby Vision 4Kp50/60 = DisabledOnly needed for equipment limited to 4Kp30 Dolby Vision; the original Vertex is not.

How you know it works

Vertex OLED Info page, line INP: shows the incoming format; TV-led Dolby Vision arrives as RGB 8-bit (Vertex manual p.113).

Problems and fixes

The projector gets no Dolby Vision.

Set Dolby Vision output mode = LLDV (it can be forced from firmware 210227_1631_r17).

No Dolby Vision at 50/60Hz.

Check that Dolby Vision 4Kp50/60 is not set to Disabled.

Everything plays as Dolby Vision.

HDR processing mode is on a VS10 option. Set it back to Auto.

NOT CONFIRMED BY THE MANUFACTURER

The exact auto framerate menu on Vision players. Dune's notes only mention an extended auto framerate setting with a new option 'prefer double framerate' (firmware 220630_0727_r20). The DUNE app path 'Setup / Video / Auto framerate' is for Media Center app devices, not this player.
Whether the Pro Vision 4K (non-Solo), Max Vision 4K and Real Vision 4K have exactly the same menu wording.
