Cable length should not be a problem. I'm running a short Monoprice HDMI 3x1 pigtail switch in and 9' HDMI cable out to my display but also tried a 9' cable in as well without a problem.

Anyway, thanks for doing the work.

I ask because we never shift the color vector, nor shift contrast in a global way that could be confused with a gamma modification.

Can you specify the content/media player/display and test equipment and protocol. This is very interesting to us.

2. Is there a distributor in germany / europe to order such a device ?

3. Is it possible to do a firmware upgrade to the Darbee device ?

4. Does the device also support a voltage of 220V like usually used in germany ?

Thanks,

In other words, closer to the source or closer to the projector (based on the effect of the long cable).

The Darblet appreciates the best signal and will not degrade the signal. So put it at the end closest to the source to give it the best chance of doing the most good. We have tested with long "active" cables that have built in signal processing for maintaining quality, and we are perfectly compatible.

Also, A big thanks to Mike Garrett of AVS for his insight on this product!

The Darbee will change your picture too, as you turn it on, you can see your image change visibly, for the better.

The interesting thing is that Dr Darbee has said that it does not modify the chroma (colors) but rather just the luma channel (brightness) for each pixel.

I think that makes it an easy shoe-in for most people who are concerned about accuracy.

I'm using it with a number of sources, including Bluray.

I had the Mits HDMI 4 input expertly calibrated by ChadB a few years ago and it threw a pretty good picture so I was expecting great things with the litlle d in the chain but when I fired up the darblet - all hell broke loose!

The picture was all blown out, colors over saturated and in torch mode. I confirmed that the darblet was on and checked to see if it was on pop mode at 120%. It was on, at 25% in the HD mode. I still suspected that the darblet had done something drastic to the signal but when I checked my Mits settings, all had been reset to factory default -all my calibrated settings gone.

And even stranger the Mits had switched from HDMI input 4 to something called AVR even though the hdmi cable was still feeding HDMI 4. When I brought up the MITS input menu - I can't even see the AVR input as a choice.

So in panic I power down the darblet, take it out of the chain and feed the MITS straight from the Lumagen (the normal configuration that has worked beautifully the past 4 years) and nothing but snow. The Mits had switched to and antenna input. After powering down all components several times I finally got the Mits to accept the Lumagen signal on HDMI 4 and recognize the input as hdmi 4 but my calibrated settings are still gone.

I tried for several hours to get the darblet configuration (even with the other 3 Mits hdmi inputs) to work but kept getting the same results -so I'm at a lost.

Any ideas Darbee Dr? Anyone?
