        You should be able to test that now if you have the Chromecast Ultra:

        I don't have it and not sure it offers anything new at this point?

            Hmmmm, something is not right in my setup then. I do not see "Dolby Vision" icon in the top right corner when using the Chromecast Ultra ( Netflix ). It says "HDR".

            Perhaps my AVR is not passing Dolby Vision correctly.....

              That is better than what I am getting. I suspect it is because my AVR and my HDBaseT do not have the required HDMI2.0a inputs. However Dolby Vision should be able to pass through an HDMI 2.0 input which I currently have.

              Netflix has a mixture of HDR and DV content. Maybe that's what's going on. Waiting for google to update to see if I can use the CCU to view DV content. I can wait on the HDR-10 content until after I upgrade my receiver and HDBaseT next year.

                  I believe you will need to have a Dolby Atmos capable sound bar, a TV that can send Atmos content to the sound bar through the HDMI connection (ARC or audio only), and a HDX/UHD stream that has Atmos as an audio option.

                  The TV can not send Atmos content through the optical connection. I would imagine the sound bar would have an audio only HDMI input or and HDMI input labeled ARC unless it can be used similarly to an AVR which passes video and audio content.

                    Re: Chromecast Ultra with 4k / HDR / Dolby Vision support !!

                    So I just did some testing with the Chromecast. I do not seem to get Dolby Vision ( with Netflix ) even if I plug the Chromecast directly into my TV. The only way Netflix shows me Dolby Vision is if I use the Netflix app directly on the TV. It's only then that I see the DV icon in the top right corner.

                    So based on this test, and based on VUDU's announcement that Chromecast will have DV with an upcoming firmware update, I dont think its my AVR.

                    Looks like the Chromecast Ultra is the problem right now.

                      Specifically here is the issue: some TVs (for example LG) do not seem to support Dolby Vision with 4K@60Hz 10 bit HDCP 2.2 on any HDMI ports (maybe the bandwidth of those combined features is too high?), and Chromecast does not do 4K@30Hz 10 bit because most movies are 24Hz and 24 -> 30 Hz conversion makes them very juddery. They are working on switching to direct 24Hz output to the TV when the content is 24Hz, which should fix it (assuming the TV supports 4K@24Hz 10 bit!).

                        I doubt that the LG OLEDs that are equipped to handle HDR10 and Dolby Vision are the problem. The problem is the inability of the chromecast ultra to do what it simply claims to be capable of doing which is provide streams in HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Now there may be a communication issue but it's not the inability of the tv. All the hdmi inputs will accept deep color. Also why would LG OLEDs which are designed to show 4K content in HDR10 and Dolby VIson not supply the proper inputs to accept he required bandwidth.

                        I don't think anybody is having issues playing 4K UHD content through blu rays on the 2016 OLEDs

                          I am not getting HDR output of any form, ideally DV, to my Vizio P75 from the CC Ultra.

                            We are not alone. I found some posts about it on the Chromecast support forums. Go on there and let them know that DV is not working for you. Hopefully the more posts about it, the more attention it will get.

                              VUDU,

                              Can you give us an update as to when you will be fixing Dolby Vision support for the Chromecast Ultra?

                              Thank you.

                                Are we sure it's in the hands of Vudu and not Google?
