Re: Bandwith required for 1080i video?


Does the XA2 actually upconvert the 10.5 Apocalypse to 1080i? My HDA2, when using component, shows a message on any DVD I've tried stating that upconversion is not available. For upconversion of DVD you need to use HDMI because of HDCP. If that's the case then that would probably be the reason for the sub standard PQ.

Even though the original content has a big part to play the XA2 would probably do a pretty good job at scaling the image. That's one of the 'money' features on the XA2.

You do mention that you are using a dedicated scaler. The CS2 would not do as good of a job as the XA2 would at upscaling.
