Recommendations

Use source videos encoded in H.265 where possible to optimize storage and bandwidth while maintaining high image quality. For HDR content, enable HDR10 on both player and display and test at the target frame rate of 60 fps. Maintain an active network connection via Ethernet for centralized updates and monitoring; use the integrated card reader for quick local media transfers when needed.
