When is 720p Not 720p?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I have a 720p projector paired with a 110" screen. Both 720p and 1080i material look fantastic. Maybe the supposed degredation would be visible side-by-side with a native resolution projector, but I certainly wouldn't worry about it based on what I've been watching.
I'd like to see Microsoft's.NET framework really take off. If we get to the point where Windows and all the apps for it are JIT compiled, I think different architectures would have a much better chance of succeeding. I wonder where Itanium would be today if you could run your normal OS (and let's be honest, Windows is the normal OS for most people) and apps on it when it was introduced a few years ago...
I use USB 2.0 for transferring songs to the iPod at home and the firewire cable at work for recharging it. The A/C adapter plugs into the iPod only via the firewire cable.
I wanted that too. Instead I have a pair of Sony DVP-CX777ES 400 disc DVD changers hooked up to an Escient DVDM-100 media manager. I just pick the DVD I want and it does the rest (even downloads cover art and movie info from Escient). $1700 for the manager, $500 for each changer (up to 3). You can have 1200 DVDs on demand for $3200. Probably the second best purchase I've made for my theater, next to my projector/screen.
cool -- will have to check that out. thanks for pointing it out!
I think this would still be a good idea to support web pages that are IE only, though. Some of our in-house web sites also use IE specific features that don't work in other browsers.
Firefox needs the ability to mark certain web pages as IE only. For example, several in-house web-sites use IE's integrated authentication and are unusable in Firefox. If I could tag these webpages as IE only in Firefox, and have Firefox open that page in IE if I type it in the URL box, I would switch immediately.
My SA8000HD through Wide Open West in IL looks just fine. This is on a 110" front projection setup (BenQ 8700+). I believe DVI is disabled, but I use the component video outs, so it's not a deal-breaker for me. 1080i looks great, and the gray bars on 4:3 material can be changed to black using the settings on the box.
Oh -- and Radio Shack sells RCA->BNC converters if you don't want to go out and buy a 'special' cable.
Microsoft introduced similar functionality in Windows XP SP2:
Limited number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts Detailed description
The TCP/IP stack now limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts. After the limit has been reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved at a fixed rate. Under normal operation, when applications are connecting to available hosts at valid IP addresses, no connection rate-limiting will occur. When it does occur, a new event, with ID 4226, appears in the system's event log.
This would be great for projectors. My home theater projector's fans, while quiet at somewhere around 30db, can be annoying at times. I'd love to have active noise cancellation, assuming it didn't affect the sound coming out of my speakers.
I frequently see audio delays on HDTV feeds being displayed on my DLP projector. Change the channel (to another station broadcasting at the same resolution), and the problem goes away.
It's either my crappy Scientific Atlanta HDTV receiver or the feed itself.
The Onkyo TX-DS989 I bought in umm... 99 has an audio delay feature. Digital displays (and digital content) were hardly as common then as they are now. Doesn't sound to me like they were working around this problem.
Reply to this with an email address -- or some way of getting in touch with you -- and I'll set you up with documentation, notes, source code, whatever you want.
oh yeah, and I know that NES != Genesis, but for the purposes of this discussion, it's probably safe to assume that similar techniques would've been used when developing for either platform.
You'd think it would be most, but that doesn't appear to be the case:
I've written my own Nintendo Emulator. Just modified it to execute 5000 CPU instructions per scanline instead of the typical 114. Fired up Super Mario Brothers, Contra, and a few other games and they all appear to work fine.
I suspect (and I would've thought otherwise before this test) that many games are sychronized with the v blank interval or interrupts. I haven't tested sound, however, since I haven't written that part of the emulator yet.
Buy yourself a couple of Sony DVP-CX777ES 400 disc DVD changers and connect them to an Escient DVD-M100 DVD manager. This is what I use for ~450 DVDs in my theater (110" DLP front projection:). It will even connect to the internet and catalog your DVDs. It's very nice, and, more importantly, hassle free.
Some rough numbers off the top of my head: 3x changers @ $700 each + 1 manager @ $1800 = $3900. More expensive than 4x250GB drives + computer, but you'll be able to store all of your DVDs and not spend a ton of time ripping them and figuring out how to manage/play them.

True, but I don't think that it's really what the submitter was asking for... of course I guess that would almost qualify as RAID-1, except that it's not in real time.

Sorry AC, wrong answer...
From the FAQ at www.ilmfan.com:
Lucas decided to build his own facility, and he hired John Dykstra to head the facility. It was located in old warehouses in Van Nuys, California.

>>You'll probably find that the "delay" on most receivers actually refers to the delay in putting audio through the rear channel
My receiver has both an overall delay and a per channel delay for all channels.
The per channel delay is set by entering the distance to each speaker, thus putting you in the sweet spot like you're describing.
I frequently see audio delays on HDTV feeds being displayed on my DLP projector. Change the channel (to another station broadcasting at the same resolution), and the problem goes away.
It's either my crappy Scientific Atlanta HDTV receiver or the feed itself.
I really have doubts about this article.
I have a DLP projector. Works fine.
Take this article with a grain of salt...
care to explain?

The guy was willing to lug around a heavy large format camera and all of the required equipment to get the best image possible.
Do you think he'd be willing to give that up for a digital camera that is just now approaching medium/large format quality?
I think, assuming that he based the decision on resolution alone, he'd wait until digital unquestionably surpasses film.
