I have an NEC PG9xtra connected to a HTPC with HDMI (nVidia card) passed to an ISS-HD (Moome Card) in my ISS 6010.

When I select 720p the screen is significantly smaller than the 1080i setting. For both I have the Amplitude at 100%. Is there a way to alter this...make them the same?

You will need to adjust your video porches, you can do this by either setting a custom resolution in the Nvidia software or by using software like Powerstrip

I feed my NEC XG direct & it works great for Bluray and HD-DVD. Many of the newer nVidia cards do not support custom timings. This is what caused me to switch to an ATI based card.

I could not find an ATI HDMI card. I had the same situation with VGA/RBGHV Breakout cable. I'd like to do an A/B comparison with 720p and 1080i but the projected size is not the same.

With ATI there is an adapter if you must use HDMI to get. I am not, I feed my projector direct RGBHV. As long as your card has HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) circuits Bluray and HD-DVD will work, then send the signal via RGBHV. Below is a link of the card I have, about half way down the page it shows the adapter if you want to use HDMI. BTW, I am running Vista.

I abandoned all efforts feeding the projector a digital signal. It just did not seem to be worth all the trouble when RGB just works. Even when I could get it HDMI to work had really bad crushed blacks.

Mike

I don't have any issues with BD/HD-DVD working. They look great with my MSI 8500 GT. I think the blacks are excellent compared to DVD. Can you describe crushed blacks?

I just want the projected screen size to be the same for 720p/1080i...

What I consider crushed blacks are: a lack of detail or information in dark areas of the image or a lack of shadow detail.

Your using an ISS-HD (Moome Card) so it may not have the "black crush" issue that some of us have seen with the XG internal card.

I don't know much about the NEC PG but I assume you can adjusted the width on the projector for each resolution as you already said. The XG has just a different memory area for each scan rate. Sometimes if the width is maxed out as in your case you may need to adjust the sync timings or porch settings on your HTPC as was said in the top of the thread Some of the NVidia drivers would allow custom timings. The last driver I downloaded did not have those options. If your card/driver is supported with Powerstrip a free download, then you can setup custom timings and adjust porch settings. What I found with the Moome internal XG card was it did not seem to like custom settings. Because of these 2 issue I gave up on Moome card for now and just run RGBHV (VGA).

I have the Moome ISS card and it doesn't work at all with my ATi HD2600XT card.

It worked ok with a 6800GT, but that was a terrible HTPC card (TEARING, no HD-DVD/BD support).

I went back to RGBHV too.
