Xbox One X tops out at 4K60, so it fits both models.
This console combines gaming with UHD Blu-ray, so game features, bitstream audio and film frame rates all have to pass through correctly.
Arcana extracts audio from the HDMI signal before a TV or projector can restrict it. A compatible soundbar or receiver can therefore receive the best available soundtrack while the video signal continues to the display.
Arcana is usually sufficient. Arcana 2 provides additional audio and video outputs.
Cable order: Xbox One X → Arcana HDMI IN → HDMI OUT to TV/projector + eARC to soundbar
Use this route when 4K60 is sufficient and you need one video output.
Cable order: Xbox One X → Arcana 2 HDMI IN → TX0 to TV/projector + eARC to soundbar
Use TX1/HDMI audio when a second display or HDMI receiver is required.
Arcana is usually sufficient. Arcana 2 provides additional audio and video outputs.
Only use EDID, scaling or lip-sync corrections afterwards when the standard route demonstrably does not work.
The settings above are the starting point. These are the things that most often go wrong on this specific device.
Unlike the PS5, the Xbox One X has a UHD Blu-ray drive that can pass Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA through as a bitstream. Set the HDMI audio output to bitstream and the bitstream format to Dolby Atmos for home theater. That makes it a genuinely capable disc source into an Arcana.
There is no 4K120 path here, which means the 18 Gbps of the original Arcana is not a limitation. Paying for an Arcana 2 for this console only makes sense if something else in your setup needs it.
Still not right? Work through the troubleshooting pages — no Atmos, eARC falling back, lip sync and a black screen at 4K120 are covered there step by step.
