Bug ID: 104507 Summary: Unable to set "IT Content" bit for HDMI and DisplayPort Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: nw9165-3201@yahoo.com
Hi,
apparently the Intel HD Graphics driver for Windows has a "IT Content" option that can be either enabled or disabled, see following screenshot for example:

According to a post on the AVS Forum, enabling "IT Content" does the following:

HDMI specs "IT Content" flag is set On in video stream.
CEA-861: "In IT applications (e.g. involving bit mapped text), each pixel in the source’s frame buffer is most clearly displayed if it is directly mapped to a light-emitting pixel on the display device - such that adjacent pixels are completely independent and do not interact. The IT content bit indicates when picture content is composed according to common IT practice (i.e. without regard to Nyquist criterion) and is unsuitable for analog reconstruction or filtering. When the IT content bit is set to 1, downstream processors should pass pixel data unfiltered and without analog reconstruction."
Apparently there is no option for it on the AMDGPU Linux driver.
Can you please add an option to the AMDGPU Linux driver which allows to enable the "IT Content" bit?
Regards
