HDMI 2.x has been a difficult target for many products. Often dealing with the cheap 4k widgets such as Apple TV cause the most headaches. For a while some companies frowned upon allowing ATV4 to be put into commercial installations because they caused support nightmares.

Early on, a lot of issues were due to the use of cables that did not have the bandwidth to support the data stream. Using truly certified cables minimized things in most situations. There are a lot of variables to deal with and each system is unique. Lots of other companies have had the same problems as Meridian.

The board used in the UHD722 is also used in many other products. I was told once by another companies tech support that there are only a couple of companies in the world that are making such boards and the HDR chipsets are Sony items. Some manufacturers such as Trinnov have put out best practices guides which have been very helpful in solving or minimizing problems in difficult installations.

8k will likely have its own set of issues as it evolves.
