Sources are sometimes touched on, but seem to take a back burner to the other hardware (projectors / lenses / screens) in most of the threads. What sources do you use and how do you scale them? By that I mean what specifically are you doing? Examples: I have an Optoma H79/H1000 and I use HTPC only and scale the image on the HTPC – or – I use an Ampro 4600HD and high end DVD player (model xyz) and send component output to a (brand x) scaller. I am trying to get a feel for what is common (if anything) and used in real world setups. If you have a $5k projector – do you have a $2k dvd player? Or are your dollars better spent elsewhere?
Room planning/construction - Is there anything Constant Height specific to be taken into consideration (Other than the obvious – having enough room on your screen wall – or maybe not so obvious – need extra space for masking?). Does anyone think – “Oh – if I had known I was going to do constant height – I would have done X during construction� If so, what would you have done differently from a “standard†(ha ha) dedicated theater room?
Two weeks from today I take possession of my new house – with a full unfinished basement. With any luck I should be well into my theater construction by the time 2006 rolls around, and I am getting a little nervous about finalizing my CH HT plans – what have I overlooked? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
