Oh, and current units don't seem to suffer from the overheating issue the original versions did. Even when using the external supply. Go figure.

Or maybe I'm just not pumping as many MHz signal through mine as those whose units were frying in a pan. Just hooked to a cable-box output, and does nothing without the AC supply plugged in. It may behave differently with other sources, with more current available on their HDMI outputs.

That was actually something I wanted to point out but forgot to mention. Mine example does not get hot at all. Even when running 195Mhz it was barely warm. I don't think there is any heat issues at this point.

All right, this thing is flipping awesome, I love it. Everything works nearly perfectly with this little splitter.

... My 720p 96Hz is using 195MHz digital bandwidth so it's really pushing the limits of HDMI and the thing passed it!

According to its "spec sheet", it handles up to 225 MHz.

That would be with deep color that it can run 225MHz which is not the same as being able to run above 150MHz with regular 8 bit or 10 bit YCbCr 422. Running at 195MHz with YCbCr 422 is way overclocking, but it can take it from what I have seen.

I'm ordering one of these bad boys right now. Even though I have a (supposedly) completely HDCP-compliant signal chain with nary a single "sketchy" device, handshaking is a frickin' train wreck.

Main Sources in Use:
DirecTV HR22
AppleTV
Oppo BDP-103
Sony PS3 (less frequent)
HTPC (irregular use)
Toshiba XA1 (not even connected)

Switcher:
Integra DHC-9.9

Projector:
JVC RS45

That's it. Nothing strange, no sh*tty cables. The weird thing is, about half the time it works perfectly. Switching inputs and getting a picture takes a long time - sometimes 5-10 seconds - but at least it works. Then there's the rare occasion like the other night when I have to dick with the system for like FIVE MINUTES switching sources, power-cycling sources, switching inputs on projector... When, finally, after much angry cussing and swearing and the vain in my forehead has reached max PSI, I hit the magic combination and get a mother-effing picture.

Everything was fine with the HD Fury and CRT. Switched to the JVC and it all went to hell. Figures. Rolling Eyes

I don't know if it's a handshake issue, or an EDID issue, but I'm going to find out... This is much cheaper than the Dr. HDMI, so I'm starting here.

Stupid HDMI.

SC

Your symptoms with the HDCP weirdness also could correlate to your HDMI board going bad in your 9.9. It may just be coincidence that it happened at the same time as the projector switch.

That being said, HDMI is always a bitch, unless it isn't.

The $25 stripper showed up on my doorstep this evening, so I happily invited her into my theater. I've only been messing with it for a few minutes, but so far...





HALLELUJAH!!!




Trying not to get my hopes up, but so far... OMFG, it's working. Switched back and forth between every single source in my system, and every one worked flawlessly. I think the switches seem to take between 5 and 6 seconds until I have picture, now.

I'll play with it some more, and with a couple more sources... But, so far it looks like this problem is solved, and for $25!!!

Yeah, and just think of the companies that made billions off this solution that is not a solution, but an unmitigated pain in the ass.

What you have finally achieved is equivalent to what you would have had with no HDCP encoder on all the outputs and no HDCP decoders on all the inputs. Except, of course, you get that lovely 5 or 6 second delay as a bonus.

Or, to put it in simpler terms, whatever problem the HDCP chain was designed to solve, it has failed miserably. However it did succeed in making several companies a lotta bucks. Which they will continue to reap the rewards from.

Craig I think for the HDQ to do 1:1 pixel making you need to be in Letterbox mode. But I think it might only be for 800p@72. I cont remember if it also worked for 1080p.

Scaling has to be off for sure. And I think you also have to be out of the menus in 1080p for it to be clear, once you select any menu it messes up.

Nashou


My HDQ is set up to letterbox and scale for 800p/72. On the other hand, 1080p/48 or 1080p/60 is set to pass through (even though there are custom timings). You can see the lines in the 1:1 boxes but the color uniformity is an unmitigated disaster... Mad

I haven't tried the RGBHV but for sure there are issues with 1:1 resolving. As Craig pointed out the raster ringing is an issue and as such the HTOT is enormous to compensate. This is where the extra bandwith of Radiance comes in handy.

Justin.

Can you push out the raster ringing with your HDQ.?

At the moment i would like to have a Radiance with a bandwidth over 200Mhz, but i realy dont want to buy the new 4K models.

I will see when they come with a 4K in 4K out model.

Wow, and everyone said you couldn't get a happy ending for $25. Thumbs Up

I did push out the raster ringing, the problem is the non-uniformity of the 1:1, 2:2 and 3:3 boxes. I suspect that might be a bandwith issue..

Umm i did a high bandwidth output.. i think 168Mhz with perfect pixel mapping and colors on mine..

I think it was full 1920x 1080P

If you can upload your settings, i can try test them here and see what happens.

Thumbs Up

I've been using mine a bit more, too... Still working flawlessly so far fixing my screwed-up all-standard, run-of-the-mill HDMI signal chain, so not just for CRT'ers!

The $25 stripper "disaster mitigation" device looks like a winner to me!

This one was a bit more, but seemed like it might be more reliable long term. My environment isn't very cool temp-wise, so I figured I would try it out.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WP2QGM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002WP2QGM&linkCode=as2&tag=curtpalmecrtp-20

I can confirm it made my VP50 work and output analog which it wouldn't do without it in the incoming HDMI chain.

I got mine from this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UYOEMI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003UYOEMI&linkCode=as2&tag=curtpalmecrtp-20&linkId=KTLPHMOANGTEZLGC

However, Amazon was selling it directly when I got it, and now it seems to be only third-party sellers, so it's hard to guarantee whether you'll get the same one or not for sure.

I just see a splitter, is it a stripper too and they're just not advertising the feature?

As far as I can tell yes and perhaps by accident...
