Hahaha he has no clue.. he will never leave hes mancave now.. no clueI remember my first projector....Man what a machine you picked for your first, what size screen are you going to use? Viewing distance?
Well, logically you can't feed it a DV movie if it doesn't support DV.
That's what I was figuring also. Thanks.
I'll choose to take that first sentence as being "tongue in cheek".
I'm sorry you mistook my comments. They were about "Byhalia, Mississippi" which is where your location is listed. I looked up Byhalia on wikipedia and it showed info about "your location" with a population of about 1,200 people and a average income of $36k. Now read my comments and you will find I was being sincere as well as tongue in cheek. I don't know where Bradenton, FL is in regards to your location.
When JVC projectors die, they fade to pinkOld projectors never die; they just fade to black!!
Every Netflix title encoded to Dolby Vision also has an HDR10 encode and an SDR encode. The Roku will output the HDR10 encode of the title.
Have had many users that have gone from an RPA mount to an RPMA. Afterwords, not a single one of them would ever go back to an RPA.
Yes and as you said, can't be seen from your seat.
No they won't be, this is wrong. They will be labelled with the "Vision" badge and will be streamed to the ATV4k as Dolby Vision (I've just checked, this is definitely the case). The Dolby Vision profile 5 stream (no HDR10 base layer) is then converted in the ATV4K to "HDR10"ish output (ish because it will often have bogus changing metadata which shouldn't happen for proper HDR10).
The pink is a flesh wound that never heals. Luckily, has not been an issue in many years.When JVC projectors die, they fade to pink
OK. That is the way the ATV4K works. But not other devices such as the Roku; they do not convert a Dolby Vision stream. They get an HDR10 encode of the title. Which might explain why the Roku does have have the variable metadata that the ATV does.
I was one of those users. I have to tell you that when it came to lifting the RS3000 onto the mount (at 50% more weight than my old RS60), I was VERY glad I moved to the RPMA. I often struggled to get the pins in place with the RPA and then I had to tighten them, which was difficult with the projector weight hanging on them (or you try to lift and tighten at the same time). I think I could have accomplished it if I had three arms, sure I could with four, but, alas, I only have two of them. It was much easier with the RPMA, which was welcome, given the extra weight.
A-lens! Especially if the JVC can tone-map well enough to where I don't see the benefit of the Lumagen. I'm sure I'm missing something, but between built-in tone-mapping, autocal, and A-lens scaling, I don't really see the benefit of a Lumagen other than to squeeze maybe 5% at best better perceived picture with video processing/calibration enhancements.
I have been using the ATV 4K with a new RS3000 and so far no issues. A minor annoyance is that the DolbyVision titles are not sending correct HDR10 metadata to the projector. So some of the DolbyVision titles require adjusting the auto tone mapping until you get a more accurate picture. Honestly it isn't a big deal. It is certainly watchable even without tweaking the tone mapping, it is just better if you tweak it a little. HDR10 titles all appear to be sending correct metadata. Only DolbyVision titles have the HDR10 metadata issue, which is understandable since DolbyVision content doesn't normally contain HDR10 metadata when streaming.
I guess part of the answer this, would depend on how many of the features of the Lumagen you would use and how much time and effort you are willing to invest. The Lumagen can do many things, but it is fairly complicated to use many of its features. The DCR is a simple device.
