i'm thinking of buying a Infocus SP 5000
http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/114331/art/infocus/screenplay-500... which says it is HD ready, but are any of the inputs able to tranfer HD signals? The inputs are as follows:
1 DVI(M1) input, 1 component (RCA) input, 1 S-Video input, 1 composite input, 1 audio stereo input, 1 D-SUB RS-232 input
Thanks
Its a service port. Its for making maufature level tweaks to your projector like gama correction among other things. Alot of new equipment use USB ports to accomplish the same things.
Another important fact is that 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals are usually copy protected requiring a digital connecion that is HDCP compatible to proccess the signals. Mostly cable boxes and the new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats will use some form of DRM that requires HDCP protocals. If the connections arn't HDCP complient the signal will be down-converted to 480p with analog connections and digital connection won't display anything at all.
so, the only way to disply a DRM protected HD video in HD resolution, would be to input it through the DVI connector and not the component connector. but i could display an un-protected HD video in HD resolution through the component connector. that right?
