sorry to resurrect a four month old semi-hijacked :-) thread, but my original question still stands.

immersive is no longer doing SDI mods. key digital is no longer doing SDI mods. JVB has never done a 598 nor 596. PMS has never seen the inside of a 598 (and they're in hong kong). DVDUpgrades doesn't list any M products though i'm waiting to hear back from them via their very weird contact process (and they're in switzerland).

i have asked Meridian if they can point me anywhere, but they haven't responded. i've asked two of my dealers and they don't appear to have any data either.

i've contacted the aforementioned cinematrix folks but haven't gotten any solid response back.

is anyone here personally aware of ANY 598 EVER being SDI modded or is this research a complete dead-end exercise? i've found two or three people on the net who say it's doable, but can't get any verification that anybody's actually seen it done.

is the chip in the 598 sdi-modifiable? it's c-cube, correct? anybody know what chip it is specifically?.

are there other shops that do this sort of thing that i haven't stumbled over yet?

thanks,
doody.
