Just got my new projector but the screen has yet to arrive. Here are some funtionality things that you may want to know.
Accepts HDTV in RGB and Component form.
In RGB Mode 1080i bounces or jitters. 720P does not have this problem. Component 720 and 1080i look amazing!
Component 480i/p
Using component input you get aspect ratio control and video settings. 480P via RGB gives you 2 choices of resolution: Auto (Full Screen) or Native (little image).
DVDO Connections.
If you flip the iScan to Component the H and V sync remain active. This means you get a Green image that the projector thinks is RGB. Using a breakout cable I used a DVDO NRE board to check the outputs. DVDO in component mode with no connection of H and V sync gives you a Component picture with aspect ratio control. If you have an iScan or wish to use the iscan with this projector there are a few ways to go about it.
1. Use the iScan in RGB mode and give up aspect ratio control. You will also have to set up your DVD player as a 4:3 TV. Anamorphic DVDs will not be seen in full glory.
2. Buy 2 breakout cables and connect the RGB's together of each cable. Put the iScan in Compoennt mode and retain aspect ratio control at the projector.
3. (Untested) Take a VGA cable and remove pins 4,5,9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15. If you want to try this approach... you might want to try removing 10, 13 and 14. These are all the connectors for Sync. (I make no claims to if option 3 will work as it is in theory.)
Composite Video.
YUCK! Jaggies... Crawlies... AVOID USING THIS INPUT.
S-Video:
Not yet tested out.
Menus take a little getting used to but they remember when you left off if it times out. So if you were to switch the aspect at the biggening of a movie, at the end when you hit { or } it will go to the aspect ratio screen.
Need to figure out a way to block the Halo that comes out of this thing. There is the image around the picture. Then there is a light HALO up from that, its not straight lines. Anyone concured this internally yet???
Now I need a Component video switcher and my screen to show up.
So far... this is one cool display device!
