        9. HDMI

        Integra DRX-R1.1 comes with 7 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 Main and 1 Sub/Zone2.

        Pioneer VSX-70 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 for MAIN and 1 for MAIN/HDZONE.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough on Integra DRX-R1.1: All inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
          4K/30Hz Passthrough on Pioneer VSX-70: All inputs pass up to 4K/30p video signal.
        • 4K Upscaling on Pioneer VSX-70: It can upscale up to 4K/30p from HDMI and analog sources.
        • Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Both receivers support analog to HDMI Upconversion, so you can input your analog video sources and output them digitally via HDMI. This means that you will need only one HDMI cable to connect to your TV.
        • BT.2020 Color Space: BT.2020 or Rec. 2020 is a color standard which delivers a wider color gamut compared to Rec. 709. It covers approximately 75% of the total visual spectrum while the Rec. 709 covers only 35% (available on Integra DRX-R1.1 only).
        • HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Both receivers are HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
        • 3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

        HDR (High Dynamic Range)

        Integra DRX-R1.1 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

        Pioneer VSX-70 does not support HDR. High dynamic range video has greater dynamic range than standard dynamic range (SDR) video with brighter whites and deeper blacks. The result is greater contrast and more details in dark and bright areas, better color and depth.


        Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)

        Integra DRX-R1.1 supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) which allows the compatible TV to send audio signal to the a/v receiver through the same HDMI cable which is used to send audio and video signals to the TV. So one HDMI cable is used to transfer audio signal in both directions. New Enhanced ARC will support uncompressed audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio whereas the previous ARC could support only Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM.
