Hi,

I'm considering the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac for my HTPC build.

It will be a 4K build utilizing the on-board graphics of the i5/i7, Intel HD graphics 530. I do own a 4K TV with HDMI 2.0 input, but no my AVR is only 1080p, with HDMI 1.4 input (so, no 4K capabilities).

My plan is to use extended or clone desktops, and send desktop1 tru HDMI 2.0 output of the MB in 4K to the TV, and send desktop2 tru HDMI 1.4 output of th MB to the AVR.

With this setup, I have some questions:
- will this work on sending two different screens to both of the HDMI outputs at the same time, with different resolutions?
- will it enable bitstreaming tru HDMI 1.4, like DTS HD-MA or Dolby TrueHD?
- will I be able to watch 3D movies on my TV (both the TV and the AVR are 3D capable)?
- any potential issues that I should consider?

I asked these directly to Asrock customer support but no answer so far for a week. I'll appreciate a lot if you can provide some answers.

Thank you!
