OTF Exclusive Unboxing Pics and Initial Impressions of Airtel Xstream IPTV STB

[Ashok Varma]

Ohh well. I was hoping to get DTH quality sports

DTH HD channels have 25fps, Star 4k channel have 50 fps, but missing in iptv as of now.

So all frame rates are same as DTH?

If sports channels dont have 50 fps like in DTH it means IPTV streams are lower quality/bitrate than DTH. Hard pass until they bring it on par with DTH

So like xstream 4 , if you select 4k 60hz output, 10/12bit color space format not available, still restricted to 8bit and I was hoping for the picture settings (brightness. Contrast, saturation, sharpness) but sadly those are missing too

As you have ask?
do Airtel IPTV have setting like brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness so I like to tell you yes this feature is also available on IPTV box in setting you will get TV setting option in that you will find picture setting and it also have DNLP, SR and DNR even you can set Black stretch.

And also if you select 4k 30hz resolution then you will get 10 bit and 12 bit RGB or YCbCr 4:4:4 12 bit and 10 bit and also YCbCr 4:2:2 12 bit colors but on 4k 60hz it's just 8bit only in RGB.

It's 25 fps for all sd and hd channels including sports channels.

How’s the picture quality/smoothness compare to dth on sports channels?

DTH HD channels have 25fps, Star 4k channel have 50 fps, but missing in iptv as of now.

Are you sure dth hd channels are 25 fps? I doubt that coz they are buttery smooth.
