To support Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc playback on the PC, several new technologies are required. These new technologies need to be incorporated into the software, optical drives (ODD), CPUs, and graphics processors.
To build an Ultra HD Blu-ray playback PC in CyberLink lab's testing, we applied the following hardware and software setup for reference:
|
Operating System |
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit with 2017 Oct. updates) |
|---|---|
|
CPU |
Intel 7th~10th generation (Kaby Lake~Comet Lake) Core i processors that support the Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) technology. Some examples listed below: Intel Core i5 7400 Intel 8th generation (Coffee Lake) Core i processors integrated with Intel UHD Graphics 630. Some examples listed below: |
|
Graphics Processor |
Intel 7th generation (Kaby Lake) Core i processors integrated with Intel HD Graphics 630, Intel Iris™ Graphics 640 or above. For the Intel graphics driver, it is recommended that you install version 21.20.16.4664 (5/3/2017) or above. |
|
Mainboard |
Asus Prime Z270-A (4K but no HDR support) |
|
Firmware/BIOS of Motherboard |
For Gigabyte, ensure you use the firmware (BIOS) version later than below: For ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard: |
|
Firmware/BIOS Setting* |
Ensure Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) is enabled in the BIOS setting* and the Intel SGX is set to 128 MB or above memory (if the memory option is available.) ‧ASRock For the Intel Management Engine Driver, you are advised to install the latest full version of the Management Engine driver (Using SetupME.exe installer, but not the MEISetup.exe) that's offered from your PC/mainboard manufacturer. |
|
Display |
[Display Device] (Required) [Screen Resolution] (Optional) [High Dynamic Range (HDR)] (Optional) CyberLink’s testing lab has discovered that screen flickering occurs for certain models of 4K HDR TVs during Ultra HD Blu-ray movie or 4K HDR 10 Video playback on a Windows PC. The tests confirmed this was when the playback resolution was under 2K/4K, with a 60Hz screen refresh rate, using the TV's HDR display port to connect the PC to the TV. You are advised to check your 4K HDR TV’s Ultra HD Blu-ray movie playback compatibility with a Windows PC in advance, and consult the TV vendors before purchasing a 4K HDR TV. |
|
Memory |
4 GB or above (6 GB recommended). |
|
Disc Drive (ODD) |
Archgon MD-8102-U3-UHD, MD-8107S-U3-UHD |
|
Hard Disk Space |
600 MB free space for installation. |
|
Internet Connection |
Required for program activation, first time to play of an Ultra HD Blu-ray movie, and other online services. |
|
Other |
Windows Media Player 9 or above is required. |
There are some prebuilt Ultra HD Blu-ray platforms that we have tested in the CyberLink lab for your reference :
|
Prebuilt Platform** |
Intel NUC7i5BNH |
|---|
In addition to the above platform setup recommendation, CyberLink provides the Ultra HD Blu-ray Advisor to help you check if your platform supports Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray movie playback. You can download and install the advisor here.
Note:
* To configure the BIOS settings on the mainboard of a PC platform, you should refer to the user manual of your mainboard or consult your PC vendor for technical support.
** The prebuilt platform might not include an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, or HDCP 2.2 supported display device originally. To play Ultra HD Blu-ray movies, you need to install a compatible disc drive and display device, if they are not included by default. The prebuilt platforms are tested for Ultra HD Blu-ray movie playback in our lab with the default hardware/software setup that is shipped by the hardware vendors. If you manually change the hardware or software on the computers, and the alternation does not meet the Ultra HD Blu-ray playback requirements, the platforms might lose the playback compatibility because of the manual change.
