Can anyone tell me whether the sync outputs of the RCA DTC 100 are positive or negative? I assume them to be negative but a confirmation would be appreciated.


Thanks.

cwood,

Are you saying that the Dish 6000 outputs a negative polarity? (I've got a Barco too and was wondering)

At this point, unless someone else tells me differently, I would have to assume so. Both my DISH and ExpressVu receivers work perfectly with my projector (which is a highly modified Harman DPM8)but neither my DTC 100 or my GI HDD200 sync up. So, I'm assuming based on what others are telling me, that I'm dealing with a sync polarity problem.

The DTC-100 is positive sync which in incompatable with some front projection display like older Barcos. John

Thanks, you just answered my question as to why my DISH 6000 works with my projector and the DTC 100 does not.

Rpurohit,



I picked up an ExpressVu 6000 HDTV decoder yesterday (same hardware as the Dish 6000 box) and it works fine with my BarcoGraphics 800! No special sync inversion circuitry required!


I used a HD15 -> 5BNC cable from the 6000 directly into the Barco with the H and V sync BNC's combined with a T-connector. I didn't try it without combining the syncs.

I'm not sure if this helps make it work, but since I need this for my GeForce2 HTPC output, I figure I would try the HDTV box this way first as well. Now all I need is a good quality 2-1 VGA switcher with autoswitching and I'm set!
