Output rate is distinct from HDR decoding rate.11Maker product pagesupport.apple.com/en-us/119599Read 7 October 2026Maker defines 4K frame dimensions as 3840 x 2160. No lower-resolution maximum is inferred.12Reviewavforums.com/reviews/apple-tv-4k-hdr-media-player-streamer-review.13954Read 7 October 2026Setup and Operation explicitly names 4K Dolby Vision 60 Hz and 4K HDR10 60 Hz output, with display compatibility conditions.

HDMI version

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. No profile name is overloaded and no HDR rate is inferred.11Maker product pagesupport.apple.com/en-us/119599Read 7 October 2026Maker defines 4K as 3840 x 2160, qualifying the published 2160p rows. Dynamic-range-specific limits remain a schema gap.
