In the wake of increasing requirements for digital copy protection mechanisms in consumer media, AMD seeks to enable users of its products to keep up with the increasing demands of content distributors. For this, they are already working on the new AMD PlayReady 3.0 technology that will allow the reproduction of 4K and HDR content on their Polaris and Vega graphics cards.
AMD PlayReady 3.0 will arrive in the second quarter
In addition to hardware encoding / decoding capabilities, hardware DRM support like Microsoft's HDCP 2.2 or PlayReady 3.0 has become a necessity for viewing high-quality content in addition to hardware encoding / decoding capabilities.. Netflix is no exception and requires meeting these requirements to view 4K and HDR content on PC.

AMD plans to enable these features for its Polaris and Vega-based products through a new version of drivers, thus making Ryzen APUs the most desirable HTPC solutions due to their low price and excellent possibilities. AMD intends to have a new graphics controller with PlayReady 3 at the beginning of the second quarter of this year 2018. AMD thus joins Intel and Nvidia in developing solutions that allow users to take advantage of 4K and HDR content on their PC through platforms such as Netflix.
