It is my understanding that the IMS2000 tops out at HDMI 1.4 with 1080p processing, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. It only supports REC709 and below.
At the moment, the only way you are going to get 4K UHD into a cinema projector is via Barco and the ICMP. It is the only one, at the moment, that handles 4k HDMI 2.0/HDCP2.2 at REC 2020 and HDR. Note, the HDR part is via license. That is it, that is your only solution. (Except maybe Sony, I believe their latest is also HDMI 2.0/HDCP2.2.
Note, the IMS3000 also only has HDMI 1.4 as well.
Christie can do 4K alternative content with the PIB-3G plus the add-on board but you will top out at 30fps and not be HDCP compliant (nor have the remaining parts of the HDMI 2.0 spec.
I think you'll see things changing though. Christie's CP4325-RGB, which is debuting with an HDMI 1.4 port, I hear from reliable sources, will have an HDMI 2.0 offering by this time next year.
Part of what you need to get around is the ICP. It is stuck in the year it was designed, to a degree. It came out in 2010 (or slightly before so projector companies could integrate it into their systems). It will be some form of a "Series 3" projector that will be able to move to HDMI 2.0 with the distinction between a series 2 and series 3 being the ICP versus a home-brew version of it. All three OEMs now have some form of a series 3 projector.
