Hi Kim,
Thanks again for the update. Is there an approximate timeframe that you would hope to expect completed products.
As you have made the alterations to the original will this likely cause any difficulties with a first batch?
I'm happy to hold on until you are 100% confident and I have noe idea how your world works all I can say is I am concious of the fact that HK Mod had some issues with a batch of gamer editions where he was trying to keep to schedule and he struggled a little with the amount of tesing time this allowed him.
I'm really looking forward to getting the product and it would be a sad situation if this could be the case.
Cheers
Deano

Deano,
I will be able to send of a few prototypes starting next week. They will probably be without case but all the functionality is there. After myself and a few people here have tested them and found them OK, I will be able to start shipping larger quantities after a week or two. Are you interested in one of the prototypes?
Kim

Kim,
Looks solid. Are you waiting for the testing to be done before putting up the final TC1500 (?) spec sheet. Doug

I am interested in one of these items. I am a little confused though. The Crescendo Systems web site says that the TC2000 is Discontinued. Yet they are still selling it through curtpalme. Or has the item become discontinued only in the last few weeks?
If it's still available, do they ship to Australia?
Secondly, I am wanting to use one of these with my Panasonic CRT HDTV. Basically I want to set up a media centre PC. My TV will only support a 50Hz signal input at HD. I'm in Australia. The only HD inputs on the TV are component, and the only supported HD res is 1080i. After much researching I have found that no video card seems to support 50Hz output through component. Only through VGA/DVI. Hence the need for the transcoder!
Anyway my second question is, am I better off with the TC2000 or the internal TCP2200? It says that the TCP2200 adds "support for tri-level sync and a fixed width bi-level sync". I'm unsure whether or not this is something I'll need? I'd prefer the external box, but if the extra functionality of the TCP2200 is required then I'd go for that instead.
Thanks!

The TC2000 as such is discontinued. Kal put it up on this forum to see if there would still be people interested in this product. The interest was definately there and I decided to design a new version now named the TC1500 that would work better together with a HDFury. The functionality of the old TC2000 and new TC1500 is identical with the exception of the VGA pass-through that will not be available on the TC1500.
Some of the Panasonic CRT HDTV's seem to be pretty picky in what they will accept, my guess is that those only accept a non-standard sync signal. Some people have had success with a TC(P)2x00 and some have not. The TCP2200 gives you more sync options to play with than the TC1500/2000. If you want I can send you a TCP2200 so you can try if it works for you. Just PM me your shipping address if you are interested.
Kim

hi Kim,
I have PM'd you. Thanks!
And yes, from what I have read the Panasonic TVs are picky.
When I receive the TCP2200 I will give it a good shot, and report my results here if it interests anyone.
