The shown H.264 and HEVC Main 60 fps limits are explicitly SDR-scoped. HEVC Main 10 rate stays unset because the existing table cannot distinguish its SDR60 claim from an unproved HDR limit. Current maker Dolby Vision/HDR10 row states 2160p without a rate. H.264 Baseline level 3.0 or lower has no stated resolution/rate. MPEG-4 Simple is 640 x 480 at 30 fps.

Dolby MAT transcoding applies to streaming apps and HDMI input. MAT input to MAT output is specified for HDMI input. TrueHD, DTS, basic-profile DTS-HD and MPEG-H are passthrough. Other named audio formats are decoder capabilities. PCM/Wave up to 96 kHz, six channels, 16/24-bit is a decoder limit, so output maximum fields remain empty.
