The "big deal" with HLG is that it allows for LIVE HDR content which is what will be needed for things like SPORTS, though given the fact that pretty much EVERY sporting event since TV has been around is massively saturated in artificial lighting I wonder if this is a misguided effort... http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/hybrid-log-gamma-what-is-it-2947378 That being said since HLG is an official ATSC standard it is important -- http://www.wow.com/wiki/Hybrid_Log-Gamma
Don't confuse HDMI 2.1 (which is on the horizon) for HDCP 2.2 -- basically the copy protection scheme has been around long enough (four years??) that it too is the current standard BUT there is a looming revision that could be called HDCP 2.3 -- https://www.digital-cp.com/sites/default...erReview_v1.pdf
Aye. I was just reading this article (and a couple others like it) so it seems that 2.1 is pretty much here. The first 2.1 cables are already being sold and have been doing so for about a month now. AVR's are expected to start shipping with 2.1 within the next few months, possibly even this year.
I doubt very much that Outlaw would be delaying the 976 for the inclusion of HDMI 2.1, but there's the chance that they're taking advantage of the delay and adding it. I can't imagine they'd be unhappy to be one of the first to market with 2.1.
