Does the 4805 have better inboard processing for ‘scope applications?
My sources are a Toshiba 3960 DVD player and a Digeo Moxi DVR cablebox from Charter. The 3960 is a 480i source. The Moxi is either 480i, 720p or 1080i depending on channel. All cabling is component. Both 4805 and 7210 are running.
The 4805 can take a 2.35 letterboxed image from either source and – after pressing the PJ “letterbox†function – stretch that image tall/skinny to the full panel (854x480).
So far so good …
Enter the 7210:
The DVD as source still results in the same tall/skinny full panel (1280x720) after a “letterbox†resize. However a Moxi letterboxed image will not anamorphically scale on the 7210. “Letterboxing†a letterboxed cable movie (2.35 oar) results in a uniformly scaled zoomed-in image. Not good! Cable is the only HD source I’ve got and half the reason for going ‘scope.
What’s going on? Am I forced to use an outboard processor?
lol … UPS just delivered the H1200M.
