4K upscaling too? Xbox One S is a bigger update than Microsoft let on. Microsoft has surprisingly revealed the forthcoming Xbox One S console will be capable of upscaling HD video games to 4K resolution. Initially, the firm had revealed the slimmer device would play 4K video via an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, but had not mentioned the potential for gaming. The bombshell was dropped by Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager at Xbox at an E3 session (via TechRadar). It’s not native 4K, but the Xbox One S can upscale games from 1080p to 4K. Although it won’t be quite as good as native 4K, it will mean those with Ultra HD displays will get a taste of gaming at the higher resolution before the holiday 2017 launch of the Xbox One Scorpio. Since the initial reveal on Monday, plenty more news has emerged to suggest the ‘S’ console will be a considerable upgrade on the original. As well as a 40 per cent slimmer body, the 4K Blu-ray player and 2TB hard drive, we’ve since learned the console will contain “additional processing power.” That extra CPU and GPU oomph will be used exclusively to power games offering HDR graphics. With Scorpio not dropping until the end of next year, this release will give Xbox fanciers plenty of food for thought. Will you be buying an Xbox One S when it arrives in August? Or will you be waiting for Scorpio? Share your thoughts below. Xbox One S. Sections. Page 1 Xbox One S Page 2 Specifications and features Page 3 UHD Blu-ray, HDR and Verdict.

Microsoft has released a new Xbox, although it’s not exactly a new console. The Xbox One S is a subtle upgrade to the existing Xbox One, rather than a proper successor. Don’t be fooled, though, because it has more than a few surprises in store. While the Xbox One S is deep down the same console Microsoft released in 2013, there have been significant changes. It’s far slicker and prettier, fixing many of the original console’s aesthetic issues. It also adds 4K and high dynamic range (HDR), which means your games and videos can make the most of the latest TVs. It doesn’t offer the big graphical bump of the PS4 Pro. Nor does it benefit from the major horsepower boost of the next-generation Xbox One X. But what it does have may make it the best-selling console of 2016: it’s the most affordable UHD Blu-ray player on the market. The Xbox One S is the only console to play 4K Blu-rays. This could make the Xbox One S a surprise hit with movie fans on a budget, who are looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy 4K content. It could help rocket 4K Blu-ray sales too, in the same way the Sony PS3 did with standard Blu-rays. What’s more, it’s actually a decent UHD Blu-ray player. Xbox One S – Design and Controller. The Xbox One has had a total makeover, and it’s a huge improvement. Microsoft hasn’t confirmed what the “S” stands for, but we’re taking a guess at “slim”. The case is 40% smaller, which makes the Xbox One S only a little bigger than a PlayStation 4, and smaller than the dinkiest of mini-ITX PCs. This is particularly impressive given that the power supply is now integrated. No longer will you need to find extra space to squeeze in a massive power brick on the side. It’s also possible that S is for “sexy”. Suddenly an Xbox is the most attractive thing in my AV rack, and that’s not something I ever expected to write. The chunky air conditioner-style grilles have been replaced with a subtle pinhole design. The original’s glossy black plastic, which was a dust magnet and suffered scratches way too easily, has also been ditched. The Xbox One S is matte all over, and has a Stormtrooper chic thanks to its white with black accents. I like it, but some may find a bright white box too conspicuous. I’m sure it won’t be long before other colours appear; there’s already a limited edition blood red Gears of War 4-themed version on the way. Sign up for the newsletter. Get news, competitions and special offers direct to your inbox. There are plenty of less obvious tweaks too, but they’re welcome nonetheless. The power switch is now a physical button, which is a lot less susceptible to accidental activation than the Xbox One’s touch-sensitive offering. There is a USB port and a controller-pairing button at the front, where before they were hidden away at the side. Can the new Xbox One please stand up? Yes it can. The old Xbox One could only be placed flat, but the One S can be flipped over onto its side. You’ll need a plastic base to hold it up for ventilation purposes. This comes bundled with the 2TB edition, but otherwise it’s sold for an extra £20. The controller has been tweaked, too. It feels half way between the basic Xbox One pad and the super-expensive Xbox One Elite Controller. It retains the ergonomic shape of the previous model, but the rear now benefits from a more grippy texture. Apparently, exchangeable colour covers are an option too. I’m not particularly bothered about pimping up my controller, but I’m a fan of the added traction. I played Star Wars: Battlefront plenty during testing, and I found the controller upped my game. The finish made it a little easier to maintain a stable grip while fighting rebel scum, and my accuracy improved. I died less in manic moments, where a quick combat roll can make all the difference. The thumb sticks are made of a new material, supposedly more capable of withstanding punishment. Only time (and abuse) will tell how tough it is, but I didn’t feel any difference in use. As for power, the pad works on AA batteries. They last a good while, so I don’t mind them. Some people prefer the Sony PS4 controller’s built-in battery approach. It may be more environmentally friendly, but the battery has proved to be poor and I’m forever having to plug it in. I wish Microsoft would ship controllers with its “Play and Charge” kits – it would be a good compromise. Thankfully, Microsoft has finally added Bluetooth functionality to the controller. This won’t be a big deal to Xbox users, but will be a godsend for PC gamers looking for a decent gaming pad. Now PC gamers can use Xbox controllers without shelling out for an Xbox USB Wireless Controller Adapter. xboxone. 3 939 пользователей находятся здесь. МОДЕРАТОРЫ.

Xbox One S will still upscale picture for 4K TVs. By Marshall Lemon, 15/06/2016 19:07 GMT. Even if you don’t have a Project Scorpio, the Xbox One S will use dynamic scaling to upgrade your picture. Xbox One S will still upscale video to 4K TVs. While players might be uncertain whether to buy an Xbox One S or wait for Project Scorpio, Microsoft has emphasized the differences won’t be so vast for the average consumer. All Xbox One titles are planned to be supported equally across all platforms, and dynamic scaling options will adjust the image if you haven’t upgraded your entire gaming setup. For example, while Project Scorpio is designed with high-end TVs in mind, the Xbox One S can upscale images to fit a 4K TV. “Even on the Xbox One S, if it’s plugged into a 4K TV, it is going to upscale the picture to 4K,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer told GamesIndustry.biz. “It doesn’t touch the pixels of the game. It just upscales everything. The video it supports is obviously true 4K. It has true 4K video streaming in Blu-ray. “There are games that were written on Xbox One, and we continue to evangelize this tech of dynamic scaling – Halo 5’s a good example – when Halo 5 runs it wants to max out at 1080p/60 frames per second or highest resolution/60 frames per second. As scenes get more complex, the vertical resolution will shrink… to keep the 60 frames per second. When that same game’s running on Scorpio, because of the compute capability, it’s effectively is going to run at its max resolution the whole time. And so you will see advantages like that when your Xbox One games are running on Scorpio.” In other words, while one gamer with a Project Scorpio and a 4K TV will gain the best available resolutions, someone who could only afford the Xbox One S won’t be falling completely behind – the system makes some adjustments for you. “Now, it’s not going to make Halo 5 run with 4K pixels,” Spencer clarified. “The frame buffer is not a 4K frame buffer for the game. But it will run more solidly. And certain developers might go back and decide if they’ve built a 4K version for PC already for some of their games, they might go back and decide to enable a 4K version for the Scorpio Xbox when it launches.” While the technical considerations might go over the heads of most customers, it’s encouraging that Microsoft is taking steps to ensure whatever console and TV you buy, the games themselves will still be supported. The limited edition 2TB Xbox One S launches in August for $399, followed by standard editions shortly afterwards.

After a fairly long wait, the Microsoft Xbox One S has finally arrived on sale and while this new revamp of the classic Xbox One is definitely not an entirely new gaming console –for that we’ll have to wait for the Xbox Scorpio in 2017—it’s definitely a beefier, more capable and more compact redesign of the older console we’ve all gotten used to. Featuring a 40% smaller build, an internal power unit, several new processing power and internal storage enhancements and a whole new level of video playback capacity for 4K ultra HD disc and streaming content, the Xbox One S still lacks the one thing that would really set it apart from its predecessor, 4K UHD gaming chops. For these, it would need a considerable amount more processing boost than what it has come with but nonetheless, even with the new additions given to it, the One S still has plenty to offer would-be buyers, not least of all among its excellent qualities being the fact that this game console is basically the most versatile 4K Blu-ray player on sale now and it even also includes the capacity to playback HDR content of a certain type from ultra HD video sources. In other words, if you want a heftier version of the Xbox One and are also looking for a Blu-ray player/streaming media set-top box for your Ultra HD TV, than the Xbox one is currently the piece of technology for you. HDTV owners can still get plenty of goodies out of the One S but owners of 4K HDR TVs will definitely be the happiest customers with Microsoft’s newest platform version. After giving the Xbox One S a run-through, we have little doubt that this console is definitely going to be a product that many gamers and probably also many 4K movie buffs are going to want. It may not be able to handle 4K UHD gaming but the One S does deliver a very robust experience when it comes to HDR gaming at normal resolutions and this definitely counts for a new take on game quality, assuming you have the right kind of display to show off the wider dynamic range and richer colors. As for the 4K content entertainment side of the One S equation, this Xbbox basically functions as a streaming 4K media set-top box and UHD Blu-ray player in one but with a more robust storage capacity, possibly better system user controls and the benefit of HDR playback as well. Best of all, for its specs, it’s quite possibly the 4K Blu-ray player that offers the best value per dollar spent on the current market. For these reasons more than any, plenty of consumers who aren’t even major fans of console gaming might be tempted by the One S and Microsoft has definitely built this console to cater to them as well. There are three versions of the Xbox One S coming out in total, the first and the one we’re covering here is the priciest 2 terabyte model which retails for a fairly reasonable $399.99. Yes, this is more expensive than the price of the most powerful 1TB Xbox One model on sale, by about $80 but for that you not only get an extra terabyte of internal storage but also all the HDR, 4K content playback and extra processing power goodies that the One S model offers over its older cousin. Thus in other words, while the 2TB One S does indeed cost more than the best Xbox One model and about the same as a couple of the existing 4K Blu-ray player models currently on sale –such as the Samsung UBD K8500, we consider the value it delivers as enough to make its price more than reasonable when compared to the costs of these other products. After all, you’re getting both heavier new gaming chops and a whole 4K Blu-ray player/4K set-top box in one single unit here. This is a definite win. Moving along, we love the 4K video playback quality of the Xbox One S. While watching movies in 4K HDR from either UHD Blu-ray discs or streaming apps like Netflix isn’t possible on the console right out of the box and first requires a specific update from Microsoft, (which should be available on the console’s release date) once that 4K content capacity is activated and used, especially for HDR UHD Blu-ray discs, the quality of the video is truly stunning. As long as your 4K TV can render display of 4K content with high dynamic range (as long as it’s one of the late 2015 and 2016 HDR TV TVs with Ultra HD Premium or HDR10 standards enabled), then you can enjoy the best of the One S’s content delivery capacity. This is where using this console with a 4K HDR television sich as one of Samsung’s SUHD TVs or an OLED 4K TV model with HDR instead of a normal HDTV really pays off and the visual result is quite stunning, at least as good as that delivered by any other 4K Blu-ray player we’ve seen and certainly as good as the HDR 4K content delivery of any streaming media set-top box we’ve yet seen. Disc media content from the One S renders particularly well and the HDR content of movies like Star Trek or just about any other 4K BD disc movie you decide to watch will blow you away with the finesse of its colors and richness of its dynamic range. We should also note that, as should be expected since this is a 4K content platform, his new version of the Xbox finally comes with HDMI 2.0a instead of the now badly dated HDMI 1.4t of the Xbox One. It was something badly overdue and now it’s finally here. Now, while the 4K UHD high dynamic range streaming capacities of the One S are impressive enough, what we really found interesting was the console’s abilities when it comes to handling gaming. First of all, the One S can upscale certain games from Full HD to 4K UHD resolution. This of course isn’t nearly the same as true rendering and play-capacity for games in native 4K resolution but it’s still something that creates a somewhat superior level of sharpness by which certain Full HD games are “stretched” across the screen of a 4K TV and render a sharper level of clarity without losing out too much on performance speed. This was impressive to behold and something we hadn’t actually expected form the new Microsoft console. Then, aside from the upscaling of Full HD games, there is the Xbox One S’s ability to not only play non-native 4K games in HDR but also to do so at robustly fast frame rates. This is something that at least so far, no other gaming console in the world is capable of doing and the effect created is quite beautiful to behold in a game like The Witcher 3, especially along with the upscaling we mentioned above. However, it should be noted that the HDR enhancement that the One S delivers to games only works if the game in question has been designed to have this as an option. It’s not a feature that this console will give to just any game. The good news however is that more games will start to emerge with HDR programmed into them, especially now that this HDR angle is also coming to all of the next-generation game consoles like the late 2016 PlayStation Neo and the 2017 Xbox Scorpio (which will be a true 4K gaming console ). Finally, there is the design of the Xbox One S. We love it with very few flaws worth speaking of. First of all, this new console is compact indeed, with a 40% smaller build that definitely works better when it comes to device placement and internal heat removal. However what’s really astonishing about this much smaller new build is the fact that Microsoft not only shrank the Xbox with the One S version but also managed to cram both an internal power supply and a 2TB hard drive into that smaller space. This is quite an achievement indeed and the other smaller design elements like a more compact fan, porous siding for easier heat escape all help the new Xbox model in staying relatively cool despite these compaction factors in its design. Additionally, the outer build of the One S is something we like. Now there are two physical buttons for the both the power and eject functions of the new One S. These are definitely better than their capacitative touch versions in the older Xbox One, mainly because they’re much more resistant to accidentally activating them while using the console. Furthermore, the new Xbox One S comes with an IR blaster along its front, which allows for wirelessly connecting and then turning on or off other external devices like your 4K TV, AV receiver or satellite box. Finally, the Xbox One S now comes with the already-mentioned HDMI 2.0a ports and of course also includes the USB 3.0 ports we’d expect for this device. Furthermore, one of the three USB 3.0 ports is now at the front of the console, along the lower part of its face for easier access. The HDMI 2.0a ports and other USB ports are at the back of the console, out of the way but easy to access. We also want to note that we like the friendlier new physical design of the controller, which is wireless and comes with a sleeker, more streamlined build that includes a textured grip and an updated thumbstick build for reduced wear. The controller also features a Bluetooth radio for connecting it to Windows 10 devices like tablets, PCs and laptops. Microsoft also claims to have enhanced the range of its wireless signal for twice the functional distance that was possible before. A second standalone controller can be bought from the company for $59.99. A bit steep but probably necessary for sharing the One S with friends. Check the Price of the Xbox One S on Amazon: On the other hand, the Xbox One S isn’t perfect, though one of the possible main problems that could derail this console lies not so much in its design but in external circumstances which could derail the console. We’ll get back to that in a moment though. First, physically, one of the main defects in the One S is the lack of a built-in Kinect port for the console. This is something of an odd little exclusion in this new version and we’re not quite sure why Microsoft decided to forego the feature from it earlier model. Users who want to still use the Kinect can of course do so but they will have to go through the hassle of picking up a USB adapter from Microsoft itself. However, according to what the company told us, it will provide this device for free to anyone who wants it from their website at this page. Next, we once again need to underscore that while the Xbox One S definitely brings some decent software and hardware additions to the table when compared to its predecessor, it’s not quite the major update from the old Xbox One that we’d have liked to see. The 4K video playback, HDR support for both 4K content and even some games and the capacity to upscale 1080p games to 4K-like resolution are all great but this is by no means any sort of true 4K gaming console. We’d like that clear as a bell. The One S offers performance and video processing specs which are well below those of any real 4K UHD PC gaming GPU on the market today and quite frankly, even if this console’s GPU were to be compared to something like AMD’s Radeon RX 480 card which recently came out, it would still fall short on graphics processing chops, and bear in mind that the RX 480 isn’t even a full 4K-capable GPU. Instead it’s more of a 1440p gaming card, much like Nvidia's GTX 1070 but with a bit less power. Thus you can imagine how distant from true 4K console gaming the Xbox One S still remains. This of course brings us to the external circumstances which are also possibly problematic for this particular console model. Basically, Microsoft is releasing the One S as a sort of stepping-stone mode to their much bigger and more “revolutionary” Xbox Scorpio console which will be emerging in “Holiday 2017” (according to Microsoft). The Scorpio is the platform which Microsoft promises will offer true native 4K console gameplay and some massively enhanced processing power. Thus, the question of course is, is it even worth buying the Xbox One S maybe a year or so before it becomes obsolete anyhow? This is something we can’t decide for anyone. Gamers might just decide to wait and go for the bigger, badder console that the Scorpio will be but 4K movie fans who want some decent gaming capacity as a bonus might just decide that the Xbox One S is a fine purchase if they were already considering a 4K Blu-ray player anyhow. Quite frankly, we really like the Xbox One S. It may not be the true native 4K TV gaming console a lot of people are probably waiting for but it still has plenty to offer and at a very reasonable price. Its 4K HDR content playback capacities, upscaling of 1080p games and ability to play certain games in HDR are excellent features and the new design is a real and impressively compact winner. If you want 4K home entertainment with the ability to play HD games in a new way, then the Xbox One is is a solid choice. • Storage: 2 terabytes. • Supported Resolutions: 4K UHD for streaming and media sources, upscaled 1080p for games. • Connectivity: 2x HDMI 2.0a ports, 3x USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth, IR Blaster. • Other features: internal power unit, 40% smaller design, wireless controller with headphone jack. • HDR support: Yes (HDR10) • Audio Support: Yes. • Streaming media apps: Yes, Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant video. • Price: $399.99 (2TB version) Check the Price of the Xbox One S on Amazon: The Xbox One S is a strong performer within the scope of its limitations. This is something we have to accept and state for the record. There are likely going to be gamers who will complain about this console’s lack of true 4K gaming support, especially since it’s the “next step-up” from the Xbox One and maybe their complaints are valid in this era of growing 4K gaming support for PCs and GPUs but we think the console deserves more credit than that. Microsoft is already promising a real 4K gaming platform and their intention with the One S wasn’t this. So this particular Xbox has to be judged by a slightly different standard. If this is done, it excels. The console’s performance when it comes to delivery of 4K ultra HD content is nothing less than excellent. As we’ve already said, it’s streaming functionality and playback of hard media 4K movies from a UHD Blu-ray disc (Star Trek being the movie we tested since it was included with our test model) is downright superb and the HDR support for this platform works as well as anything we’ve seen in any other HDR-enabled hard media player to date. The same applies for streamed 4K movies from Netflix. They look great in SDR and video quality becomes markedly more superb when the few HDR 4K titles which Netflix offers are played back through the One S. It’s HDMI 2.0a ports also ensure that 4K ultra HD content not only flows smoothly at 60Hz or frames per second but also with HDR (at least of the HDR10 type) working smoothly as long as you use a 4K TV with high dynamic range with the Xbox One S. When it comes to gaming support, the console’s improved processor (CPU) and graphics card (GPU) functionality definitely show for high level Full HD games and if you can find yourself a game which is programmed to render high dynamic range, the Xbox One S won’t disappoint. As for the 4K upscaling of Full HD games. No, it’s not quite as smooth and sharp as native 4K would be from an Ultra HD-capable GPU like the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and a 4K TV or PC monitor but the upscaling capacity of the One S definitely takes HD game graphics to a visibly better level than their presentation in the older HD Xbox One. As for gaming smoothness, for Full HD gaming, it’s excellent and even when the upscaling and HDR functions are activated for select high-intensity games, the frames flow by at a reasonably good to excellent speed. Finally, using the redesigned controller is a real pleasure. It’s easier to manipulate, its enhanced wireless functionality is a definite plus in some circumstances and we like the inclusion of both Bluetooth in the controller itself and the IR blaster in the console body. Both will definitely have their moments of usefulness. Quite simply, the Microsoft Xbox One S is not capable of gaming at real native 4K resolution. It can handle upscaled 1080p games smoothly and even the inclusion of HDR rendering in games which support the format works remarkably well but native 4K is still the domain of 4K PC gaming with the latest and best performance GPUs from Nvidia or AMD. We'll have to wait for the Xbox Scorpio for real 4K gaming, or earlier than that, the Sony PlayStation Neo 4K gaming console, though we have our doubts about the Neo's 4K gameplay abilities . The Xbox One S 2TB model we’ ve reviewed here retails on Amazon.com for $399.99. It comes with one wireless controller and a second unit can be bought separately for the somewhat hefty price of $59.99. There is no native Kinect port but Microsoft is offering it for free from their website, which we linked to above, so getting it will only cost a bit of time if Kinect is something you’re still into. The 500gb version is selling for $299. Check the Price of the Xbox One S on Amazon: • New controller is more user friendly. • 4K video playback. • Streaming from Netflix, Amazon. • HDR gaming and video support. • 4K upscaling of 1080p games. • Not a real 4K gaming console at all. • No Kinect port built-in. • Only comes with one controller. • Overshadowed by Microsoft Scorpio. The bottom line for the Microsoft One S is that if you’re looking for a great game console and 4K Blu-ray/streaming media player combo, then this device is a great choice at a decent price. It offers plenty of value per dollar spent. If however you want to try console gaming in real 4K resolution, wait for the Scorpio because the One S doesn’t come close to having native 4K gaming chops. Check the Price of the Xbox One S on Amazon: Not even one mention of the lack of lossless bitstream audio support for UHD discs? The lack of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support is a killer for home theater enthusiasts. Does xbox one s support hdr gaming on Samsung KU6300 HDR? As my understanding, KU6300 is HDR, but HDR10. “Only comes with one controller” – that really can’t be a negative point if it’s the norm. Even the Gamecube did that and that was over a decade ago. On another note, I would really like confirmation on something. I read on Digital Foundry that on the Samsung KS7000 HDR cannot be displayed in Game mode. That means there’s going to be a lot of input lag. Can you confirm if this is the case? I’m especially keen to know this as I have the KS8500. I got mine last night and hooked it up. I kept getting errors on the 4K set up screen and on 4k UltraBluRay Discs until I switched out to an HDMI 2.0 cable. It looks like mine shipped with a 1.4 cable. If you have difficulties, try changing the stock cable. You forgot to mention about its inability to bitstream, something which is required for 3d audio (Atmos, X, Auro). Both the XBox One and the XBox One S have bitstream options that you can enable. Richard B is correct as these settings can be enabled/disabled. I have my XBOX One S connected to my Anthem AVM60 Pre/Pro and one MCA 525 amplifier and two MCA 325 amplifiers doggled (via HDMI) to my Sony 75in XBR 4k TV. The sound is equivalent to my OPPO 105D and video performance is equivalent in 3D or 1080P but now where close in HDR with my XBOX – just an FYI. Dennis – Audiophile and Videophile for 25 years. According to reports from people who compared it to actual UHD Bluray players, the Xbox One S doesn’t bitstream when playing UltraHD Blurays. It decodes the audio in software then sends it out PCM and due to the software decoder/mixer it results in inferior sound quality compared to bitstreaming. This is pretty much the same problem Xbox 360 had when playing HD-DVD. Its suck a shame Microsoft never seem to learn from their past mistakes. Any issues with HDR content displaying correctly using the XBOX One S with the 2016 Vizio P-Series Line? What monitor is that in the picture? Looks like a Samsung UE series. If you tested it on that you won’t get 4k or hdr. You need a TV that can UPSCALE the content. It does now support Bitstreaming, thank god for a update… I found a coupon and with black friday deals, I scored a 500gb Xbox one S, battlefield 1 and 3 months of xbox live for $162.50 before tax. Connected a 2tb external drive and i am good. The console feels cheap compared to the first one, from the power button to the controller is one piece front, just looks cheaper… and one big shock it didn’t come with a headset… that was a huge one for me. 7 months since release and the Xbox One S is still unable to do true 4k for the Amazon app, and still has broken 4k UHD Bluray playback that does not comply with the specifications due to the still broken bitstream support that barely works with some titles and others is horribly off. Xbox One S: 4K, HDR and what you need to know. The highly anticipated, newly designed Xbox One S starts hitting shelves today. Since Xbox One S features 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, 4K video streaming and High Dynamic Range (HDR) for games and video, we wanted to ensure those who are about to unbox their new console know all the ins-and-outs when it comes to 4K, HDR and what you need to do in order to enable your 4K TV. Getting Started: Three Things You’ll Need to Experience 4K. Before you can experience 4K and HDR games and video, you’ll need to make sure you’re set up properly and have the right equipment. 1. You’ll need a 4K capable device. Good news, the Xbox One S is 4K Ultra HD capable. To check if you have a 4K TV, you can consult the packaging or manual for your TV. Different manufacturers have different names, but here are somethings to look for: Commonly used names for 4K: 4K, 4K Ultra HD, UHD, UHD 4K, SUHD TV, Ultra HD, Ultra UDTV, 2160p Listed resolutions or modes: 3840 x 2160 at 24 Hz, 50 Hz, or 60 Hz Commonly used names for HDR10: HDR Premium, High Dynamic Range, HDR, UHD Color, Ultra HD Premium, Ultra HD deep color. To check your TV’s 4K and HDR capabilities, with your Xbox One S connected and on, double-tap the Xbox button on the controller to open the guide. Choose Settings > All settings > Display & sound , then choose Advanced video settings > 4K TV details . If your system should support 4K and HDR but it isn’t working (for example, you can’t select the 4K UHD resolution, 4K features aren’t supported in the 4K TV details screen, 4K content won’t play, or you’re seeing video quality problems), click here for some help. If you are using a monitor, you’ll also need to check if it is compatible. Pop in your favorite 4K UHD Blu-ray disc or open the Netflix app. As a reminder, if you want to check out programs in 4K on Netflix, make sure you have a subscription plan through Netflix that supports streaming in Ultra HD. More info can be found here. We also wanted to provide information on 4K, HDR and resources for trouble shooting – all in one spot: A simple question, but not everyone knows the answer. 4K is a new standard for consumer televisions. The industry term is 4K UHD but you may also see this referred to by various manufacturers as 4K Ultra HD or 4K Ultra High Definition. 4K UHD packs in four times the pixels (3840×2160) of a 1080p HDTV (1920 x 1080). This makes for a sharper, more detailed picture. To experience 4K, you must have three things: a 4K TV, a device that can play 4K content (like Xbox One S), and 4K content (like a new UHD Blu-ray or access to a streaming service that supports 4K, like Netflix). In addition to supporting 4K video content when used in conjunction with a 4K TV, Xbox One S will also upscale non-4K content to display at 4K when paired with a 4K TV. When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console — Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like 1080p content) is upscaled to 4K. To set your resolution and upscale everything to 4K, double-tap the Xbox button to open the guide, go to Settings > All settings , then choose Display & sound > Video output . For TV resolution , select 4K UHD . HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range. With HDR color support on your Xbox One S, your TV can display deeper colors and richer contrast, meaning the picture will appear more vibrant and realistic than on a regular HDTV. To display HDR, you must have an HDR capable TV, and HDR content. Content that’s recorded for regular TV and non-HDR games won’t appear different—to see true HDR, look for HDR Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, HDR content in video streaming apps, and HDR games. There are two HDR formats that your TV manufacturer can choose to support: HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Your TV must support HDR10 to display HDR content from your Xbox One S. See Troubleshooting 4K and HDR on Xbox One S for more info. If your 4K TV is set up correctly, it should automatically play HDR content—you don’t have to change anything on your Xbox One S. Check your TV’s settings menu to make sure HDR is turned on. We have seen that some TVs come with HDR-off by default. Your TV must also support the HDR10 media profile to display HDR with Xbox One S. If you have changed the video settings on your Xbox One S and want to double check that HDR is enabled, double-tap the Xbox button to open the guide, go to Settings > All settings , choose Display & sound > Video output , then choose Advanced video settings . Both the Allow 4K and the Allow HDR settings should be checked if you want HDR on. Connecting your Xbox One S to a 4K TV. If you have upgraded from an HDTV to 4K UHD TV, you may need to upgrade your cable as well. Getting all those 4K UHD pixels from your Xbox One S to your TV requires use of a High Speed HDMI cable . Xbox One consoles have all shipped with a High Speed HDMI cable, including Xbox One S. If you are using a device to pass-through the HDMI signal, such as an AVR or a device that extends the length of the HDMI connection, that device must also be capable of supporting 4K UHD and HDCP2.2. If you are experiencing problems, make sure you are not using an older, Standard HDMI cable, and eliminate any additional devices between the Xbox One S and the television. For best results, use the cable that is included with your Xbox One S and connect your Xbox One S directly to your 4K UHD TV. Calibrating Your Television. Once your Xbox One S is setup and ready to go, you may want to fine-tune your TV to get the best possible picture. The Xbox One S includes a very simple HDTV calibration walk-through, which can help optimize your brightness, contrast, and color to get the best possible picture for your Games and Movies. To access this feature, go to Settings > Display & sound > Video output > Calibrate HDTV . Here you can walk through a few simple steps to improve your visual experience. Modern televisions do a lot of work to process incoming video signals. Sometimes the television’s onboard processing effects can introduce latency, often called display lag, between what is going into the TV and what the player sees on screen. For watching movies and videos, these few milliseconds of latency are not noticeable. However, for fast-paced gaming this lag can introduce a very small delay between when you press a button and when the character reacts on screen. Many modern TV’s implement a setting called “Game Mode” which reduces the amount of processing the TV does, thereby reducing the latency between the game and the screen. For gamers looking to maximize the responsiveness when playing competitively, we suggest trying your TV in “Game Mode” to see if that improves your experience. What if I don’t have a 4K TV? Xbox One S automatically scales down any 4K and HDR content to the resolution your TV supports. If you’ve done everything right but 4K doesn’t work or you don’t see these settings, see Troubleshooting 4K and HDR on Xbox One S. Note: You must have an Xbox One S console and a 4K TV with HDR10 support to display 4K and HDR content. If you’re not sure, see Troubleshooting 4K and HDR on Xbox One S to learn how to check your console and TV. Что такое 4K? Смотреть видео Настройка 4K и HDR. Примечание. Этот видеоролик доступен только на английском языке. Разрешение 4K — разрешающая способность вашего телевизора. Ее полное название — разрешение 4K UHD (другие названия: 4K Ultra HD или телевидение сверхвысокой четкости 4K). Это разрешение вмещает в четыре раза больше пикселей, чем разрешение 1080p для телевидения высокой четкости (HDTV). Изображения в формате 4K — более четкие и детальные. Для просмотра в разрешении 4K и в режиме сопутствующей видеотехнологии, HDR (высокий динамический диапазон), необходимо иметь телевизор с разрешением 4K и консоли Xbox One S или Xbox One X. Встроенное разрешение 4K или модернизация до 4K. Если вы выберете разрешение 4K UHD для вашей консоли, все на этой консоли — главная страница, игры и приложения — будет отображаться в разрешении 4K. На консоли Xbox One X контент 4K отображается с собственным разрешением 4K, а другой контент (например, игры, закодированные в 1080p) масштабируется до 4K. Игры на Xbox One S также переводятся на разрешение 4K. Хотя изображение в масштабированном формате 4K более гладкое и детализированное, чем в родных форматах 720p или 180p, оно все же не настолько богато красками и деталями, как изображение с родным расширением 4K. Чтобы установить ваше разрешение и перевести все материалы на разрешение 4K, нажмите кнопку Xbox , чтобы открыть гид, перейдите в раздел Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > Видеовыход . Для параметра Разрешение телевизора выберите значение 4K UHD . Разрешение 4K в играх и приложениях. Для воспроизведения 4K-контента не требуется установка разрешения 4K в качестве общего параметра настроек вашей консоли. Вы можете выбрать другое разрешение для вашей консоли, например 1080p, а когда игре или приложению потребуется разрешение 4K, разрешение автоматически переключится на 4K (при условии, что ваш телевизор поддерживает необходимый для разрешения режим). Это удобно, если вы хотите воспроизводить 1080p-контент в его исходном разрешении, но при этом получать все преимущества от разрешения 4K при воспроизведении 4K-контента. Чтобы выбрать более низкое разрешение, но переключаться на разрешение 4K при воспроизведении 4K-контента, выполните следующие действия: Откройте гид и перейдите в раздел Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > "Видеовыход" , а затем убедитесь, что для параметра Разрешение телевизора выбрано значение 720p или 1080p . Выберите Дополнительные настройки для видео и убедитесь, что установлен режим Разрешить 4K . Устранение неполадок с 4K и HDR на консолях Xbox One X и Xbox One S. Если ваша консоль Xbox и ваш телевизор поддерживают 4K и HDR, но эти режимы не работают как надо, попробуйте сделать следующее. Во-первых, убедитесь, что ваши Xbox и телевизор поддерживают разрешение 4K. Убедитесь, что у вас консоль Xbox One X либо Xbox One S : на задней панели консоли справа рядом с сетевым портом должна быть наклейка с указанием модели. Если наклейка отсутствует, проверьте ее наличие в нижней части консоли. Важно! Прежде чем начнете переворачивать консоль Xbox, извлеките диск и отключите ее. Убедитесь, что ваш телевизор поддерживает 4K : см. информацию на упаковке или в руководстве к телевизору. Различные производители используют различные названия. Ниже перечислены часто употребляемые искомые обозначения: Названия технологий 4K. 4K, 4K Ultra HD, UHD, UHD 4K, SUHD TV, Ultra HD, Ultra UDTV, 2160p. Разрешения или режимы. разрешение 3840 x 2160 на частоте 24 Гц, 50 Гц или 60 Гц. HDR Premium, High Dynamic Range, HDR, UHD Color, Ultra HD Premium, Ultra HD deep color. Если ваша система поддерживает 4K и HDR, но эти технологии не работают — например, вы не можете выбрать разрешение 4K UHD, функции 4K не поддерживаются на экране сведений о 4K ТВ, контент 4K не воспроизводится или возникают проблемы с качеством видео, — попробуйте выполнить следующее. Убедитесь, что консоль Xbox автоматически распознает ваш телевизор. Выберите Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > d , а затем выберите Автообнаружение . Разрешение 4K недоступно, если опция HDMI или DVI была выбрана вручную. для устранения неполадок с режимом HDR убедитесь, что ваш телевизор поддерживает профиль HDR10 Media Profile. Для этого изучите руководство пользователя для вашего телевизора. Некоторые производители не упоминают формат HDR10, поэтому ищите информацию о режиме BT2020 или HDR. Вы также можете искать по названиям, приведенным ниже (кроме того, существуют два формата режима HDR: Dolby Vision и HDR10. Ваш телевизор может поддерживать оба эти формата, но, как минимум, должен поддерживать формат HDR10): Названия формата HDR10 : HDR Premium, High Dynamic Range, HDR, UHD Color, Ultra HD Premium, Ultra HD Deep Color Убедитесь, что кабель HDMI подключен к правильному порту телевизора. Некоторые телевизоры с разрешением 4K поддерживают полный спектр 4K-функций только при подключении к определенным портам. Изучите руководство пользователя к вашему телевизору, чтобы узнать, есть ли в нем специальные порты HDMI для 4K-разрешения, или попробуйте другой порт. проверьте меню настроек вашего телевизора. У вашего телевизора может быть особый режим, который включает разрешение 4K или режим HDR. Изучите руководство пользователя для вашего телевизора, чтобы узнать, нужно ли изменить что-либо в настройках телевизора. Производитель вашего телевизора может использовать другие названия для режима HDR (см. приведенный выше перечень); Если определенный контент невозможно воспроизвести, убедитесь, что ваш телевизор поддерживает HDCP 2.2. Эта опция должна быть включена в настройках вашего телевизора. Убедитесь, что вы используете HDMI кабель, который был поставлен в комплекте с консолью Xbox One X или Xbox One S. воспользуйтесь другим кабелем HDMI. Ваши кабели должны иметь сертификационную маркировку HDMI High Speed или HDMI Premium. Если какое-либо устройство соединяет ваш телевизор и консоль Xbox, отключите это устройство и подключите телевизор напрямую с помощью HDMI кабеля, который был поставлен в комплекте с консолью Xbox One X или Xbox One S. Некоторые AV-приемники или другое видеооборудование могут влиять на передачу данных между консолью и телевизором. Ваше устройство должно поддерживать такие же функции, что и ваш телевизор, либо само по себе либо при передаче сигнала далее. Кроме того для подключения приемника к консоли Xbox и телевизору следует использовать кабели с сертификационной маркировкой HDMI High Speed или HDMI Premium. Убедитесь, что используете последние версии встроенного программного обеспечения вашего телевизора и AV-приемника. Программное обеспечение большинства последних моделей телевизоров и устройств можно обновлять через домашнюю сеть. Если ваш телевизор или устройство не поддерживает некоторые функции разрешения 4K или режима HDR, обновление встроенного программного обеспечения может устранить эту неполадку. Проверьте руководство пользователя для вашего телевизора или устройства, чтобы узнать, как обновить встроенное программное обеспечение; Если во время воспроизведения 4K-контента вы видите пустой экран или возникают ошибки, и вы испробовали все вышеперечисленные способы устранения неполадок, отключите исходное разрешение 4K для воспроизведения контента и включите более низкое разрешение. В разделе Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > Дополнительные настройки для видео снимите флажок "Разрешить 4K". Если во время воспроизведения контента в режиме HDR отображаются необычные цвета, и вы попробовали все вышеперечисленные способы устранения неполадок, отключите режим HDR. В разделе Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > Дополнительные настройки для видео снимите флажок Разрешить HDR . Если после выбора 4K UHD в настройках отображения вы видите сообщение об ошибке, см. раздел Ошибка при выборе разрешения 4K UHD на консолях Xbox One X и Xbox One S. Дополнительные сведения об информации, которую телевизор предоставляет консоли о поддерживаемых функциях 4K, см. в разделе Проверка функций 4K и HDR телевизора на консолях Xbox One X и Xbox One S. Xbox One S Won’t Bring Performance Improvements, But It Will Feature 4K Upscaling. Yesterday, The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson revealed that Gears of War 4, the next entry of the series launching later this year in all regions on Xbox One and PC, is going to enjoy an enhanced performance on the soon to be released Xbox One S. Unfortunately, it seems like it won’t be the case. Speaking to Eurogamer, Xbox’s Albert Penello denied that games will enjoy an improved performance on the Xbox One S, as the new hardware is designed to run games just as the original Xbox One does. All changes that have been made are to enable HDR. “When we made changes to the box for 4K we unlocked a little bit more processing power to enable HDR. That’s it. It’s exactly the same architecture as the existing one. To support HDR, we give people access to a little more CPU and GPU. That’s it. It is so insignificant it is mind boggling it is being picked up.” Still, it seems like there will be a reason to play games on an Xbox One S, as Aaron Greenberg confirmed that the console will upscale 1080p games to 4K. “We’ll upscale anything you have, games, other things that aren’t 4K, we’ll upscale them to 4K as well. We’re taking advantage of a lot of the great benefits of technology that’s happening today, whether it’s gaming or video, and at the same time reducing the size of the box as well.” The Xbox One S console launches this August in all regions.
