4K, yes. 4K + HDR, certainly not. 4K + HDR (@60fps) is HDMI 2.0a standard, which requires 18Gbps.I don't think 10.2gbps is enough bandwidth for 4K HDR.

HALP!
Who managed to get a clear, error free signal with more than one HDMI cable between the Pro and the 4k TV?
I bought kinda expensive cables that can handle the load, but as soon as I introduce two cables with a coupler or the HDMI splitter I mentioned earlier, I get errors like flashing pixels and sound dropouts!
Now I am researching how I can do the coupler/splitter/switch solution without any image errors...
Ordered the Monoprice certified cables and Sewell IBIS. Crossing my fingers.
Ditto. Thanks for pointing me in this direction.
Anyone have any info on whether a switch or splitter is a better choice?
For what it is worth I've gone through 2 Sewell IBIS switches from Amazon. The first one would pass 4K HDR but it would introduce dropouts and spotty corruption during games. The second one (replacement, same 'item' ordered) wouldn't pass HDR period.
This includes hours of me swapping multiple quality HDMI cables (all support 4K HDR as the only cable in the path). I don't know if between the switch and the AVR there is too much degradation but after two orders and attempts I'm done with this product.
Looks like it may somewhat be luck of the draw? Congrats to those who can get it to work.
Must same I am BEYOND disappointed that Sony is putting people who dropped nearly $1000 on their products (PS Pro and PS VR) within a month into this predicament, terrible communication within their teams it seems. Have they made any comment at all on the situation?
It is too bad too, the Pro improvements to PS VR games is noticeable.
I cannot agree more. I think the only reasons this gets so little attention is that many aren't even aware that HDR isn't being passed because they don't have TVs that support it. This is a ridiculous oversight regardless.
Its not that it's compressing the video; it's the fact that it won't pass through Deep Color either. Your TV needs to support that too which is different than HDR but has also been around for awhile so it's pretty common.I remember someone from digital foundry saying it effects you even if you don't use HDR too. It compresses the color so you get banding even when the psvr unit isn't being used
Does the PSVR box pass through HDCP2.2?
I know it's not really needed and a lot of people disable it but as I was moving things around tonight and I looked at the video description in the PS4 and it was displaying no HDR (as expected) and HDCP1.4.
Both cables are HDMI 2.0 - PRO <2.0> VR BOX <2.0>TV.
No, it doesn't. Only passes 1.4
Wow, does this one really work properly? For $16 I'd definitely want this. Gonna keep an eye on this thread to see if it works for you.
I find myself playing the PSVR less due to this :/

It is quite the barrier. There's already a decent amount of set up to do when you just want to jump into some VR on a whim. Having to reach back and swap a cable that always seems to be turned the wrong way the first time does make me think twice.
Looking around here and Reddit I bookmarked a few items that people say worked for getting HDR to work a little painlessly than having to do a full cable swap on the back of their PS4 PRO/Breakout Box.
2 out of the 3 still require cable swaps but you are not unplugging anything from the actual units. So these are on the way, should arrive tomorrow. I will see what happens and let ya'll know.

In the meantime, you can just have 2 HDMI slots taken up on your TV so that your VR setup and HDR are on different TV inputs. Then you just swap the HDMI cable that's connected to your PS4. No need to touch the breakout box in that case.Well, I hadn't been playing PSVR since I got my new 4K HDR TV two weeks ago. I've been busy trying out FFXV and Infamous First Light.
But the whole time I'm thinking of what a waste it is not be be using PSVR and what a pain it is to have to swap cables to re-enable PSVR. I'm the kind of person who will end up playing whatever disk is in the PS4 rather than getting up and swapping disks....so unplugging the PSVR breakout box and re-routing the HDMI cables were a pretty big hurdle for me.
I took some time today and setup PSVR again. Now I don't know if it will affect me going back and enjoying those games I'd been playing with HDR.
Such a pain...

Sorry if already asked (or dumb) but: any chance we get a firmware update that allows HDR getting through?

Same. I can't be bothered to change cables, I actually haven't touched it since the Pro came out.I find myself playing the PSVR less due to this :/

I ended up getting this HDMI extension cable to solve the issue of having to reach behind the PS4 to swap cables. It has worked just fine for me so far. I made sure HDR worked with it and had no issues and VR has worked just fine too. It's way, way easier to swap the cables on this than it is to reach behind the system and not even be able to see the port.

Sorry about the bump. But, I just got PSVR. And I've had the pro. So I have the main HDMI going from my TV to my PSVR power unit now instead of to the PS4Pro. If i want HDR, I just unplug it from the Power Unit and back to my PS4Pro right?
Yep. That's one way to do it.
