Hiya,
This is my first post here so be kind! http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
Anyway, i have recently bought a DLP Vidikron Helios Projector and i was wondering if anyone could help me out.
What i am asking is which DVD Player on the market could i get to best compliment the best elements of this projector?
What i want is to get the best DVD player to suit my Projector. Ie., If the projector can handle progressive scanning, whether i can use the RGB inputs for DVD players as well as computers and so on.
As you can tell i dont really understand too much of the technical info related to my projector, so any help is appreciated.
These are the statistics for my projector:
HELIOS DLP Projector
Synchronized dual (2) integrated DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) circuits
with a total of 1.017.600 miniature mirrors matrixing 848 columns by 600
rows.
Each mirror represents a single pixel with independent tilting +- 10o for
sequential light modulation.
Over 90% mirror coverage throughout overall image field density.
One DMD modulates red light; the second is for the green and blue spectrum.
Precision aspect ratio and image sizing through digital scaling.
Uses a long-life lamp
Motion adaptive line doubling with interlaced video.
HELIOS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
IMAGE SIZES: 30 inches up to 225 inches diagonal
PROJECTION: Front or rear
CONFIGURATIONS: Wall or ceiling mount
CONNECTIONS: 1 Video Input
1 Stereo Audio Input
1 S-Video Input
