As I've posted a few times before, the DH30000 (Japanese version of the DH30000U) frequently slips into a degraded display mode. It seems likely that I am seeing the famous "constrained image" that is supposed to be built into all HDTV devices with wide bandwidth component outputs. With a little finagling it can be made to show the same HDTV tape constrained, or not constrained.
I know everyone's curious about what it looks like so I've done my best to photograph it for your viewing pleasure. They're pretty lousy photos. I still haven't figured out how to do this well.
I used a Olympus E10 digital SLR to snap a 2 inch wide portion of the image on a Sony 20" computer monitor. Source is a Leno show recorded and played back on the DH30000 and coupled to the monitor via a Keydigital transcoder. I used this display instead of my plasma to eliminate additional scaling.
So...here's constrained...
