We've just released the Avalon 6x2 matrix. You could then run all your component video and digital audio sources into it, and be able to route any source to either room. http://www.neothings.com/ It might be another option for you.

Yep. Not having a 1080p source and 1080p projector naturally means that it has not been tested under those conditions, but our measurements tell us it should be fine. 1080i, 720p, and lower all look perfect though.

I'm interested in learning more about this (possible) event. I haven't been to one before, so someone paint a picture for me. Attendance? Type of venue? Products being demo'ed? I wouldn't mind bringing up our switch for display/demo/discussion. Maybe we'll have something new by then. Thanks...

I can't directly answer your question, but from my experience with the 10HT, if you have the Sony input set to 'computer' it will always shrink it to a 4:3 box. The only way to get full use of the 16:9 display is to output component video through an ATI video card, and use powerstrip to get the...

Tall games are called 'vertical' games. I wouldn't agree that it is common knowledge to not rotate a display to vertical. In fact it is done frequently with CRTs and plasma screens. Your only issue is getting the 176 lb TV to stand on end securely without falling over, or damaging the plastic...

For those interested, Pronto CCF files are available for the Zektor HDS4 switch. http://www.zektor.com/hds4/pronto.htm These were developed on a TS1000. I'm assuming they can be used on the 2000, but not sure about the 3000 and up. If anyone has any improvments or feedback, let me know and...

I assume you had no problem using one of the other built in codes sets, or perhaps used the learn feature? We've clarified a few steps regarding IR setup in the manual in case it was confusing, and also it is in color as opposed to the printed B&W version. The latest and greatest version can be...

Just figured I should jump in here to elaborate some. We've isolated it to a total of 12 units that were likely affected. All of the owners of these switches have been notified by email. The problem happened in manufacturing, when the units were programmed. A check box was set incorrectly in...

Hi Guys, Just to update you, all should be trackable by now. Things ran long on Wednesday (only a 20 hour day for me :) ), and not all the shipments made it to Fedex before the cutoff. Fedex Ground service is sort of a seperate company than the regular Fedex, so once the driver leaves, there...

Dennis, are you claiming that your cable converts YPrPb component video into RGBHV (VGA)? Your description sounds like you are making a VGA breakout cable similar to this: (bluejeanscable.com photo credit) However a cable like that won't convert component video into RGBHV as found on a...

My general rule of thumb when deciding what to spend your HT budget on goes like this: 33% Display 33% Electronics 33% Speakers This ends up with a well rounded and well matched equipment. It works fairly well until the total budget gets over $30K. Over that much I would start spending...

Could also be the spindle itself. The older Pioneers have a rubber boot on the spindle, and after many years it gets dry rotted, and can't grip the disc anymore. They cost less than $20 -Bill

Don't you just love computers. They save so much time in our modern lives... In general, upgrades are problematic. I always remove all partitions and do a fresh install of any OS. -Bill

I've consulted the experts, and the word in about 16 to 20' diagonal should be fine. Of course screen type/gain would come into play here also. -Bill [experts= my dad who works on Electrohomes/Barcos/etc.]

Aahh yes, a good question... Would you believe that this is because of the magnetic field of the earth? Believe it or not, that is what is causing the color changes. This is a common problem. Usually the degaussing coil takes care of that on power up, but sometimes it takes a couple power ups...

A decent 1GHz splitter should do fine. Make sure the digital cable box gets one of the -3dB ports, and not -7dB.

A Sine Wave: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...sou/wavvar.gif When input power fails and the UPS kicks in, the UPS will either output a square wave, a modified sine wave, or a true sine wave. Most UPSs either output a square or a modified sine, since it is alot cheaper to design, and...

This is more likely to be a brownout shutdown by the Sony rather than a spike. I'm guessing the fridge starts, and voltage drops to below 90VAC. You can 1)Put the fridge on a different circuit. 2)Improve the wiring to the fridge. or 3)Get an online UPS for the stereo. -Bill

It looks like the geometry between your screen and projector are off. What is the height of your projector relative to your screen? Did you have to use alot of vertical shift or keystone to get it on the screen? What is your distance from lens to screen? Try using Sony's PJ Calc...

The 3db rolloff spec is a standard measure used for coax, amplifiers, filters of all types. It works for audio (as in sound pressure), electrical, optics, radio, and anything else that needs it's bandwidth expressed. I hadn't heard the 2x or 4x rule, but in some cases more bandwidth is not...

Luke and Bob, Let me help with a couple of your questions. First understand what signals are in component video. The 'Y' signal (green connector) contains all the sync pulses, and a full resolution image. The 'Pb' signal (blue conn.) is a half bandwidth channel. The 'Pr' signal (red...

Hello, Bill from Zektor here. I just found this nice forum, and signed up so I could respond to some posts regarding the Zektor HDS4. I don't want to spam the group here or anything, but I am happy to answer any questions about the product.
