I have searched, but I cannot find definitive reasons why one is preferred over the other. Please help here as I want to purchase a scaler for use with my new HT. I am a newbie, so I am trying to understand the whole PJ issue (lip Synch, video processing, frame rates, etc.)
My goal is to improve SD broadcast as much as possible (if possible) and provide excellent DVD and HD cable performance.
I have seen claims that the Lumagen has "much better HD processing" than the DVDO iScanHD+, but what does that mean and why?
DVDO:
I believe the iScan can address the lip synch problem, but the Lumagen cannot.
12Bit DAC
One DVI Input (Big Handicap)
One memory per input
SDI available
Lumagen HDP/HDP Pro
Lumagen has two DVI inputs, iScan has only one.
10bit DAC
Four Memory per input
SDI Available
Cannot address Lip Synch
Can someone help me understand this whole processor issue? Why is one better than the other?
Regarding Lip Synch. My THX Ultra AV Reciever has delay capability built-in, maybe I could use this, but I don't think I can delay the front channels. It would seem that I need to buy another piece of equipment for audio delay, if I select the Lumagen - correct?
I plan to only use a DVI connection to my PJ and have the scaler/processor act as the Video Switch.
Thanks for the help.
