Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Restaurant at the End of Universe Hitchhikers - Meridian Equipment DVDO Edge Scaler with 4x S/PDIF output! (powerbuy started on 3/27)

kswanson OT - PQ of the Australian GP had a lot to do with the fact is was nearly twilight. The in-pit and on-wall shots looked much better than the washed out shots into the run or darkend shots into shadows. Lets see what Malaysia brings.

mrbluray Re Sky "you cannot get interlaced SD from its HDMI port" - are you sure? See the thread "I've got 576i out of Sky HD ... do I get a medal?" at www.avforums.com in the Scalers sub-forum.

Yeah you can get 576i out of a Sky HD box over HDMI, I was doing it a couple of years ago, can't remember what kit I was using but was doing it, going into a Crytsalio II.

Have a look at that thread I probably say in there somewhere.

Ach! Good thing my USC Trojan lovin' and season ticket holding wife is not watching over my shoulder or she might ban me from reading and posting here!

The only SkyHD box that you can achieve this is with the original Thomson box, but it is seriously flawed. Current wisdom is that the Thomson is actually outputting the interpolated fields from its shoddy deinterlacing rather than the originals. A DVDO VP with PReP is the only solution that I'm aware of for interlaced SD over HDMI with SkyHD. The Samsung box's deinterlacing is supposed to be a lot better though, so it would be possible to live with 576p. The Thomson's deinterlacing is awful.

anyone else planning on ordering that hasn't already?, I am going to stop this thing on friday most likely, the interest that was shown ahead of time didn't pan out completely and I am not going to make the ones that ordered already wait for weeks on this

thanks, appreciate all the business

I am interested, but won't know for sure until the end of the week.

Yes I am sure



See more explanation below from Viruskiller



It would probably be better for members to read all the info out there on the edge, PREP and its deinterlacing etc rather than one or two views here if and when they appear.

FYI, I moved a bunch of trouble shooting posts to main thread.

Please keep purchasing discussions in the restaurant and technical discussions in the main forum.

The Restaurant is periodcally purged !!

last call, I am ending this at 12AM Sat the 4th, I have 2 more slots to make it to 10 and that is how many Edge units I have

if I was to magically somehow go over that number before tomorrow night I can get some more units no problem, but it looks like 10 will be the magic number

thanks for all the orders, appreciate it

1 slot left for 10

thanks

(Back from Mexico...)

I wonder what the Edge would do in this situation: I have a SD Sat decoder with component output. The channels my wife view have both 4:3 and 16:9 content, and we want everything displayed as good as possible. And since it's a plasma screen we don't want any black bars that may leave temporary "burn-ins" for hours.

If I connect the decoder using a SCART cable directly to the TV and send standard PAL/NTSC one pin will give the current aspect ratio and the TV can change to always give a full screen. But the TV does this pretty lousy, so I thought a scaler would help. But if the (component) output from the Sat decoder switches between 4:3 and 16:9, will the Edge be able to "follow"? Or does the viewer have to manually switch between 4:3 or 16:9...?

Hi Gary,
I`m just back from a week business trip in Ireland and just the time to read here what happened during these days, then I`ve duly issued my order and paid.

I beg you please to manage in a proper way the shipping documents for the custom.

I don`t care about few bucks of fee, which I know to be around 2,5-3%. What I fear is the VAT which here is the 20% of the value evidenced on the documents, but since you know how to manage , consider this only as a further recommendation.

Ciao
