Khooktd Posted November 11, 2002 Posted November 11, 2002 Just wondering if any of you are aware of any DVD player or possible solutions to output progressive scan output from 2 separate sets of component video terminals from one DVD player. Currently i'm using the Philips Q50 which thankfully has at least 2 component video out - one is progessive scan and one is interlaced. Application is to run one output to my projector and another into my plasma. Any other similar players like the Q50 or even better with 2 progressive outputs? Besides the option of using 2 DVD players of course. Cheers!
Khooktd Posted November 11, 2002 Author Posted November 11, 2002 Just found one such player - apparently the Yamaha CX1 has this feature. See http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/DVD/DVDCX1.htm Anyone seen or auditioned this locally? Appreciate information like pricing and shops that carry this model? Any other brands?
ericcartman Posted November 11, 2002 Posted November 11, 2002 khootd, hee hee i am stalking you. buy my china super duper dvd player with progressive scan, component video out and all the works, all for less than $200 8)
Charcoal Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 alternative is p.s. ouput by component & vga (using 15 pin vga cable) ! so that you don't need to compromise on the dvdp model (& its quality) having 2 component outputs, though again not much models have such features (you can find them on China-made dvdps) or else some high-end dvdp will hv alternate output such as Toshiba 9500 which got 5BNC p.s. output for projector/plasma and it is very very good. cheers
ericcartman Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 some china made products are not too bad, i was told by my friend that some of them make av products for sony philips etc.
Jag Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Actually many big brands approach contract manufacturers in china to do their manufacturing. But these big brands have experienced engineers and quality process to keep to quality high. The born in China brands like BBE, Shinco still have lotsa room to improve even though they have prog scan, DD/DTS built-in. Their implemented product design is years behind those jap brands.

Jag Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 For 1, I bought a Shinco8700 DVDP. Just only because it has features no other brand has. Actually, even mark Levinson has also commisioned and re-badge designed in china hi-fi amps for sale. Just that designed in china products are not the same as manufactured in china products. Designed in china products have a longer way to go before catching up to the experience of the jap designers.

Anyway, one of the reason i bought the Q50 was precisely that it had 2 component video out and both worked equally well simultaneouly. Also checked with KEC and Yamaha on the cx1 earlier today. Both claimed they have not heard of this model. *sigh* Maybe will check with the Hifi exhibition this weekend at the Meridian. Probably will live with the Q50 for a longer while.
ericcartman Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Their implemented product design is years behind those jap brands. not true, i even saw a dvd player designed in china as a car, i think the japanese car loving folks are behind in this aspect. imagine a showpiece dvd posh car with dvd functions and features :o:o
