can i leave the video processing up to my receiver.

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
i just started building my theater and am a couple wires away from drywall. I know very little about media servers. I demoed the kaleidoscape today and it sparked my interest. I thought it was pretty sweet. computers for the most part are over my head. I have been reading for about 2 hours and figured i would just ask, it might be a dumb question it might not.

I am running a marantz projector, and all arcam fmj components (av9, av139 dvd, p7) is it possible to set up a server and let the arcam do all the processing. I just want to keep the quality of the arcam video if i go this route. I figured i would ask before i continue my research in putting this together.

thanks

Put in a 1-1/2" conduit, that way if technology changed you can change without a great deal of effort.


What's arcam?

Can you provide a link?

arcam is just some higher end gear, krell, adcom nad arcam etc... my media rack is in my room. and all my wiring is in the soffits. so that is no problem.

The short answer is only to a degree.

The long answer is that going through the video buffers of current video cards and windows will do some processing, especially with interlaced content. However you can minimalize the amount of post-processing that your HTPC will do and have the Arcam do most of the work for you, just not your de-interlacing, which HTPCs do quite well IMHO, with the right hardware.
