In setting up my scaler yesterday (I'd like to use it as a switcher between my dvd player and hi-def STB), I had trouble getting my NEC CRT to sync with the passthrough from my STB. The pj said the it couldn't sync with the horizontal or something like that. I was passing the STB through one of the vga ports on the back of cyrstal image. The cable between the stb and the scaler has 5-bncs on one end and a 15-pin connector on the other. What I see on the screen when I select the vga passthrough using the remote is a myriad of horizontal lines that flicker in and out with no image coming up, and the message from the pj about the horizontal rate.
I am using a panasonic hdsu-20 with the video out set to native.
When I send the signal directly from the STB to the projector, I get a beautiful picture. The problems start only when I put the scaler in line between the stb and the pj. I am beginning to wonder if the scaler is truly passing the signal through, or it is trying to scale the signal when it shouldn't.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?
Thanks,
Tim
