External Scalers like DVD0 Edge

**Mark Techer** · **02-10-09, 11:54 PM**

Anyone using these for CIH? I am interested in the DVD0 Edge, but during a play with one, found that I could only Vertically Stretch the image, but not Horizontally Squeeze the image. Can this be done, and if so, what is the menu section?

Anyway, it seems that the Edge can only custom vertically stretch, but the unit does feature a preset Horizontal Squeeze and Vertical Stretch. I think this unit still represents great value for money based on what it can and does do well

Looks like no one around here really knows much about this product. I certainly don't hear about it much anymore... nothing like I use to a few years ago.

So how old is this product? I was impressed that for the $$$ it did support 1080/24P.

I think that most people looking for an outboard processor also want the ability to correct gamut and gamma, which I do not believe this unit offers.

Really? I've featured it on my blogspot as I think it still represents great value for money and does what is needed for CIH.

I did not say it was not a good value. What I said was that I think many are interested in more than just CIH and scaling if they are buying an outboard processor. Just something to consider...

I think a big market for the Edge will be those with early HDMI receivers that don't accept 1080p. There are many of us that have receivers that are 3-4 years old that only accept 1080i or 720p through their HDMI inputs. Many of us will be upgrading our displays from 720p to 1080p now that it is so affordable. The Edge is the only processor I know of that has an audio only HDMI output which makes this issue moot.

Wasn't this also done to fix Audio Sync issues?

That certainly could be true, but it certainly is nice for those that have first generation HDMI receivers. Many of these do not allow 1080p input at all and the Edge provides a good workaround. Whether or not it's better to upgrade the receiver or add an Edge will be my choice.
