Deep color support for 1080p SDR?

Hi folks,

I have a 1080p TV & AVR with deep color support. When my Blu-ray player and Fire TV are in use, I can see an HDMI signal with 12-bit pixel depth:

With an Apple TV 4K configured to output 1080p SDR, I only see 8-bit pixel depth. Is there any way to configure the Apple TV 4K for deep color support? If not, is this something Apple would consider adding? Perhaps with some new Match Content formats: 1080p SDR (10-bit) and 1080p SDR (12-bit)?

Thank you,

Mike

Can Apple TV Output at 16:10 Aspect Ratio? I have an Apple TV 4K, which I am trying to use with a Panasonic TX-19LXD8 TV which claims to be 720p, yet has an aspect ratio of 16:10. Is it possible to output the video from the Apple TV 4K in a 16:10 aspect ratio? If not, is there an app I can download to add this as an option?My only alternative is to output at 720p and then adjust the aspect ratio on the TV, but I have to do this every time I use the Apple TV, so it's not ideal.

no 4 k option when sending through sound bar. I recently bought the 2022 Apple tv 4K. I noticed when I connect the apple tv directly to my tv I can select the 4k picture quality. But as my tv does not have an HDMI out, I need to send the apple HDMI cable to the sound bar first then into the tv. When I connect this way the apple tv no longer gives me the option to select 4K, the highest 1080p. What am I doing wrong, both HDMI cables are 2.0 or 2.1, all 3 devices are ARC. I could use the optical from the tv back to the sound bar but then, I will need to make use of the sound bar remote. I quite like that the apple remote controls everything. Is there another way to send 4k picture quality via the sound bar?
