    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    I do not disagree with all that you have said about the potential for HDMI, even the earlier versions. The specifications theoretically allow for everything you and other HDMI supporters said and more. But you are missing my point. The fact of the matter is that there are still a lot of problems...

    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    I began this thread by commenting positively on Outlaw's decision to forgo, for now, inclusion of HDMI because of known problems and the fact that the technology was a moving target. Outlaw had felt that the evolving HDMI standards were moving so quickly that anything they might offer might soon...

    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    Good to hear that the HDMI articles by La Maestra are available to all. Rodolfo really keeps up with the evolving HDMI scene and it's a good place to get some concrete answers rather than rumors. Regarding the HDMI "handshake" parameter, as best as I can tell, this is part of the HDMI system...

    Ah, yes! I had forgotten about the "alphabet soup" intermediaries. ;) The main point is that HDMI still remains a work in progress so it becomes a difficult task for manufacturers to try to lock in on an evolving standard without building in obsolescence to their equipment. Of course, for...

    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    You bring up some very valid points, Seth, and I intend to try to get some answers at CEDIA 2006 next month. Right now it seems wise to keep the video and audio signal paths separate until HDMI 1.3 (or whatever comes next) gets its act together. Since HDMI 1.1 (or maybe even 1.0 - I'm not sure...

    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    Excellent question, Lance! As a regular user of HDMI (with two digital displays in my HT, an HDMI equipped scaler, several HDMI switches and a host of HDMI sources) I can personally attest to the fact that HDMI presents the user with a host of new (and sometimes frustrating) experiences. A...

    HDMI vs. DVI on pre-pros & receivers - Outlaw Audio was right a couple of years ago

    With the current proliferation and upcoming introduction of a lot of HDMI sources more and more people (including myself) are looking toward upgrading our equipment to eventually take advantage of all the new audio formats and provide some switching capabilities for multiple video and audio...
