Hi folks !
Having only recently entered into the world of HDTV, I am struggling to calibrate my 1080i input .. and have made little headway :
I tried the trick of sending the AVIA signal to my VCR using a composite cable, and then sending the RF signal to my DST-3000 which then upconverts it to 1080i .. the resulting quality left much to be desired and the calibrated results did not produce a great picture on native 1080i ..
I've manually adjusted the picture "by eye" but its probably way off.
I see that the Accupel HDG-2000 will do the job .. but its $1000 (and I'll probably need it just once or so to get the black and white levels, color levels, sharpness etc settings) .. too much for my budget. Is there anyplace that one can rent these ? (I doubt, but that would be great!)
Is there any software that will provide the signals in 1080i mode thru the VGA output of a PC ? This can then be converted to YPbPr using Audio Authority or something similar .. has anyone gone down this path ?
Does anyone have any recommendations of someone with the right equipment in the Los Angeles area ? (I learn that Bob McJimsey is not accepting any new appointments now)
