First of all I want my computer to display over my projector for certain content. I would normally just use my set-top DVD player, but some stuff I just don't want to bother burning to DVD just to see it once. I'm also wanting to incorporate OTA HD programming where I can watch them over the projector as well. Here's a list of equipment that I'm working with.
InFocus IN72 - It says it supports higher rez on the spec sheet, but I couldn't get anything to work from HDMI out from PC to HDMI in to projector. So I was thinking about using S-video over to a auto-changing signal box, then up to the projector. It states on the back of the machine it is EDTV so it might not do anymore more than that, even with interpolation. Hey, what do you expect for a $350 sticker price? My only concern is how much the S-video would make my picture quality suffer...
AVerMedia HDTuner - Haven't bought, but leaning toward this unless I find something better, and possible adding another card for dual ATSC tuners.
PC should be good enough
Processor: AMD 5000+ (oc'ed @ 3ghz)
Memory: Corsair XMS2 4x1gb
Graphics: MSI NX8800GT OC
Hard Drive: WD 2x320gb in RAID0
I'm doing Digital Coaxial audio out of the motherboard and into my Bose receiver so that should be pretty straight forward. I just want to get some opinions to see if the 480i projector is going to handle anything I'm wanting to do.
