I'm surprised. I have my Darbee right before the projector and no problems with 3D.
I recently put the Radiance first in the chain so it does switching. Then HD621 and 861. In my view the Radiance does the switching much better than the HD621-less fidgety. The only thing I'm trying to sort out now is a lip sync issue.

In my perfect state world, Lumagen would design the hardware and some of the software for the HD621  In my perfect state world, HDMI would not exist and SDI would be used. No idea why they tried to reinvent the wheel and then get it so horribly wrong.

I'm aware that Lumagen has been through this before with Radiance XD/XE together with the HD621, in or about 2009. At that time M lent them a HD621 for testing for 8-9 months. They basically told me they would need to repeat that process for the new 2021, but need another HD621 in their lab again for troubleshooting. I didn't feel like being the guinea pig. Path of least resistance was eliminating the Radiance. Too bad since I still feel it's a solid product.

I wish Meridian would license the capability to Lumagen to incorporate the HD621 in their processors.

Seems unlikely that M would license their HD621 technology. Don't you think?

Kind of a niche product as well. It would be better the other way round, Lumagen supply a CMS/scaling/deinterlacing engine to go inside a putative HD822 perhaps? (8in, 2out)

LMAO!
Seriously though, if it's a case of adding a niche feature to a mass-market product or adding a mass-market feature to a niche product, which would make more commercial sense?
That is more people have HDMI equipped displays than have MHR compatible receivers.

I took out the XE from the chain, only used it to force HS-DVD into 23,976 playback.
It did not play one for 3 years I think, so now it is Dune -> HD621->Sony VW-90.
I do have an Oppo 93 connected, that plays without an issue also.
The XE is now a doorstop, no one seems to want one anymore.

Well I guess you don't miss the Lumagen video processing then. I guess you imply the Dune can do PQ as well as a Radiance XE? I'm surprised.
