  Has anyone got the Pansonic up conversion to work         


Author: smartyd
Date: Jan 18, 2007 00:51

I recently purchased the Panasonic DMR-EX85 DVD recorder with HDMI up
conversion expecting a better picture on my Toshiba 37" LCD TV 37WL66
via the HDMI cable.
However I can see no picture improvement no matter what HDMI video
format that I set on the DVD recorder.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem, or as a newbe to HD am I
doing something wrong?

Cheers, James

Interesting thankyou.
It is a complecated one I see, that is no doubt why my usual site does not
have piomeer models on.
Strangely most of the suppliers are suppling MR players and few and far
between are region 2 only. Can't see all these supliers doing this
proceedure, so can only guess most are coming out of the factory MR. I
will make sure the one I get is a MR.
Thanks

In terms of quality component and SCART RGB should be about the same. The
display conversion from one to the other is a simple mathematical process,
as described at http://www.fourcc.org/fccyvrgb.php. However, the sync signal
is carried on the luminance (Y) signal in component and on a separate pin
for SCART RGB, so as well as performing the arithmetic a conversion unit
must extract the sync signal. The only reason for a difference in quality
would be if the designer were to mess up the conversion electronics!

RGB consists of the three primary colours distributed separately and at
full bandwidth. Usually needs a separate syncs feed too as in a SCART -
although these are sometimes combined with green for other uses.

Component derives from a system designed for pro analogue tape recorders
to reduce the bandwidth needed for RGB while given good results. Basically
you have still three circuits - Luminance (R+G+B) at full bandwidth and
two colour difference signals at lower bandwidth which by simple matrixing
with the luminance produce the third. Colour information doesn't need the
same bandwidth in analogue as the detail is provided by the luminance
signal. All a bit irrelevant with digits, though, and I'm not quite clear
why some countries prefer components to RGB for domestic use.

I'm reminded of the lines from the John Cooper Clarke poem of the early
1980's:

"I've seen all kinds of ugliness in hideous excess
But I've never seen a nipple in the Daily Express"

Hmm. Found some purported lyrics here, but the penultimate line (at least)
is different. I guess he'd refined the words by the time I saw him live:

As a matter of interest, what firmware version does your projector have? I
know some people have upgraded using a special cable, and I'm wondering if
that's worth doing if I eventually need to use the HDMI port. Quite happy
with component at present.
