Thema: Chromecast connected to HDMI IN port of Gigablue Quad 4k

Good morning,

Sorty , I write this message in English but I do know if it is allowed by Forum policy ...

Currently I am using Quad 4k connected to my TV via HDMI OUT port displaying standard programs. In other words I use my TV like a monitor and tuning is done by Quad 4k.

I have Chromecast connected directly to HDMI IN of the TV and it works perfectly.

Now I would like to add a soundbar to my TV in order to improve dialogue perception and in order to do this I would like to connect Chromecast directly via HDM IN to Quad 4K. If it coud be possible I will connect soundbar to optical output of Quad.

I made a test on my own and the result is the following one :

- I switched to HDMI IN with Blue key and I see the HDMI IN screen on the TV;
- When I try to share the Chromecast contents the screen becomes black.

Before opening this post I navigated in the Forum and as far I understood this is due to HDCP protection , which does not allow to send images to HDMI OUT port.

For sure I do not want to break the copyrights laws but here it is the first question: why I can see the Chromecast contents via HDMI IN of the TV and this is not possible with HDMI IN ? Which devices are supposed to be connected to HDMI IN without problems ?

Thanks in advance for your attention

best regards

Dario

Hi,

thanks so lot for yourr iimediate answer but perhaps I was unclear: my problem is to use Chromecast directly connected to Quad 4K via HDMI IN. I would like to know if it is feasible or not. That's all.

best regards
