|
|
Hi
I am looking to buy a secondhand vp30, it comes with the vrs de-interlacing card.
I am after this to act as a HDMI switcher to passthrough my Blu Ray & HD DVD player Video @ 1080P and also to upscale and improve my Laserdisc Picture.
Will this do what I want?.
Thanks In advance.

Ok, I have tried this and it works brilliantly, so far.
I am connecting my HD DVD & Blu Ray player by HDMI and my Laserdisc player by SVHS and outputting it all out on a HDMI cable, What i want to know is can i output the LD @ 1080i and the HD 1080P?.
At the moment all i can do is output the lot @ either 1080P or 1080i, i cant find the setting to make them stick to there own format.
Thanks

Hey, I'm not a VP30 guy, but I thought they were catching up with Lumagen. Sorry you have not got more responses. For the longest time, the Lumagen was the most sophisticated on this front with what it calls "independant output mode". The problem is, this is a feature few care about since most poeple only ever send 1 resolution/referesh to their display (and most displays can only handle 1 or 2 different input ones). So, DVDO may have never felt it was worth adding. Someone at AVS or the DVDO forum could tell you.

Hi
Thanks for replying.
I have it all set up now and it is great!
I have my Hd dvd, Blu Ray, Set Top Box, Laserdisc & Vcr all connected and outputtin a 1080P via HDMI to my crt.
Blu & HD look just as good as they did going straight in.
The HD Set top box is an improvment.
Laserdisc now looks just like an upscaled sd dvd and Video is now watchable.
Cheers

Like an upscaled first gen poorly mastered DVD. 
I could never watch upscled laserdisc on a big screen. That was "THE" technology when a big screen was 27". At 110" its...well...YUK! Thank god we don't need it anymore!

Hi
When I said it looked like an upscaled DVD I did not mean to imply that it was close to HD.
I think upscaled 1080P dvd looks worse than a normal 576P DVD, thats what I meant with the LD pic but still a lot, lot better than the normal pic of an LD.
I have an 8ft wide screen and LD was Just watchable and Video was, well forget it.
cheers

I use a VP30 and I input a 4DTV Sat receiver to it, a Panasonic BD35 Bluray player, a Panasonic VCR/DVD recorder, and a HDTV Samsung OTA receiver then output from VP30 to to a Pioneer Receiver VSX-92 to a Moome 1st version HDMI card installed in a Sony G70 projector. Works pretty well. The VSX Pioneer receiver sometimes has a handshake problem with the HDMI inputs, but I find if I pull the HDMI cable at the Moome card and reinstall it, it usually locks on to it on one or 2 trys. Picture quality is very nice, though I don't think I am getting 1080P and probably 1080i. I originally tried running the 4DTV Sat receiver which only has Svideo output, to the Pioneer, and it did a lousy job of upgrading and actually seemed to degrade the picture, so I bought the VP30, it made the world of difference. I should probably get the newer Moome card with the 2 HDMI inputs, but economics are tougher in these times for retired people.
