With all of these new 1280x720 native projectors coming out, there's a new application that I wonder if anyone is doing. In the same 1280x720 area, you could display two NTSC images if overscan is eliminated. You could put two 640x480 images side-by-side with a little letterboxing on the top and/or bottom of the screen, which could easily be eliminated with masking.
This could be the ultimate Picture-in-picture, or more correctly "Picture beside picture" (C). This could be a potential marriage saver. Think of it, I could be watching a football game or playing the Dreamcast while the wife is catching up on the latest prime time soap-drama. All that would be needed are separate headphones.
It seems like a manufacturer could do this pretty easily, they wouldn't even need a scaler, just some sort of image "interposer" and the ability to choose two inputs at one time.
Is anyone doing this right now? Does it sound like a good feature? If any manufacturers out their like this idea, drop me a note and we'll discuss licensing fees. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
