So I have the Sony g90. It looks great and I bought it from Curt. I'm trying to figure out what I need to be able to run the 1080 24fps signal . Unfortunately dish network only offers there 1080p in a 24fps and not the normal 60. Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions?

You need a video scaler to convert the 24fps to 48, 60 or 72.

Is there a signal converter or do I really need a full scaler?

[john t]

I know ya have to do something similar for the 3d. Have you dealt with this and this was the only solution?

To get the most out of the G90 a scaler is recommended. I just looked at the two Atlona 560 and 550, boxs neither accepts 1080p/24 input.

Let me have a look at Extron...DHC HD-HD BUT then you're into a full on scaler and for that price would be better served with a Lumagen, maybe one of the B stock units?

EDIT: http://www.lumagen.com/docs/Radiance_2020_Manual_WithCover_102214.pdf

The 2020 will do what you need.


Or an older Scaler like the DVDO VP50pro will also take a 1080p/24 signal

Please note: the standard VP50 non Pro does not accept a 24p signal so if you do go that route don't get the wrong one.

We have some high end Radiance 2144 units available (open box) for an extra $700 off interested: http://www.curtpalme.com/Radiance.shtm

Otherwise the 2020 is the entry level model. Really no direct difference in picture quality for what you want to do, just less inputs/outputs, and a few other things. See the comparison table half way down the page at on the page I linked to above.

Guys, this is new to me. Dish apparently puts out a receiver with only 1080p/24. I've never run into this, as I don't think we've got that hardware here in Canada, at least not that I've seen.

Will any of the older Lumagens (HDP.HDQ) do a 1080p/24 input?

Otherwise, are there older/newer Dish boxes that let you turn off the 24fps?

What model is the dish receiver?

The HR34 and HR44 will output 1080p 24Hz for certain specific PPV and one demand movies. Most times the same movie is also offered in 1080i 60Hz. The HR34 and HR44 will also do 3D for specific movies.

You can either choose the 1080i version of the same movie from DISH, or you can use a video processor. The old Lumagen VisionHDP, HDQ, and HDPPro can accept 1080p 24Hz and output 1080p 60Hz or 48Hz.

I would much rather a new model though that can accept everything and will provide much more benefits with far less work. The newer Lumagen's are easier to setup and have less HDCP issues and much better image quality. I would consider a RadianceXD as the lowest model to work with now. So a Lumagen Radiance XD, XS, XE, 20xx, 21xx would be your choices for the best solution.

Problem is, customer is on a limited budget, and hasn't allowed for a Radiance, nor did I ever expect that he'd need one. I'll email him to take a peek at this thread, I've seen HDPs here for as low as $150 in the buy/sell section..

but thanks for the info!

I may have an HDQ for sale soon for about $225.

I would suggest that your client just not use the 24Hz feature in DISH. He can go into his DISH menu and disable 24Hz.

Whenever there is a movie in 24Hz 1080p, there is (I think always) the same movie on DISH at 1080i 60Hz. He just needs to click on the correct version for 1080i 60Hz. That is what I would recommend in this situation.

If he's new to the G90 than the last thing he needs right now is more complexity with a VP.

From what I read on the Dish forums, Dish does have two seperate movies in 1080i and 1080p . But only one of the VOD or PPV channels has it and you have to search for it. That is pain in the ass from what it sounds like. But he poster said the Dish tech guy told him there was only one channel carrying the 1080p. And you know how right some Customer service techs are.

OK this is a little off the topic but I have been meaning to ask and this seemed like a good time. Is there a dish receiver that has better PQ than others ? Does anyone have a preference ?
