yeah.

No support from your partner Nvidia? I would think they have tested 4k HEVC coding on the Tegra 4 by now. Maybe spend less time on here arguing with posters and spend more time doing your job. I wonder how many Tegra 4 chipsets overheated and fried trying to run 4k HEVC at 24FPS by now? Might have to compress and tailor your videos some more to keep the Mbps low.

By the way say for example the NP-1 is streaming 4K HEVC Netflix. How will your box be able to stream Netflix at a lower bitrate than any other box using the same codec? From what I understand you guys are only capable tailoring your own streams from NanoFlix to stream at Mbps as low as 6Mbps. Also how much quality are you sacrificing to stream at that low of a bitrate? At what bitrate would you stream a 4k high motion action film? If the NP-1 is only using V9 and H.264 currently, how would the player stream a h.265 HEVC video?

Couldn't resist buying some fear today. NTEK beast!

Sorry that you received jail time at sentencing! I had hoped that the court would just give you a fine and probation... I know you don't like me from my DD post that question you and your NP-1 player. I used to be a NTEK shareholder myself. I felt like I was attacked by shareholders here when I started to ask simple questions. This threw up a huge red flag for me, and I started to dig a little deeper.

When looking up information about HEVC, I stumbled across information about Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 chipset. They claim that this is their first 4k HEVC chipset. Since their previous chipset the Snapdragon 800 cannot stream 4k HEVC, I automatically assume that the Nvidia Tegra 4 cannot stream 4k HEVC either. The Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4 have very similar CPU specs, and the Snapdragon 800 has a slightly more powerful GPU. I also think that it is strange that Nvidia's new chipset the K1 doesn't mention anything about 4K HEVC capabilities. To me the future of streaming 4K is with H.265 HEVC, not v9 or H.264...

I was wondering if you have any updates on the coding process for the NP-1 to stream 4K HEVC? This is a huge factor with me in deciding if I want to reinvest in the company and if I would ever even buy a NP-1 player. If the NP-1 is released without 4K HEVC that would be very disappointing... I recently have contacted Nvidia and Qualcomm. I asked them to clarify which chipsets are, and which chipsets are not capable of streaming 4k HEVC.
