These were commercial PC's (Compaq and Zenith) and a 3 gun CRT projection TV (Sony).
Connecting a mouse or keyboard to a USB is perfectly good; as a matter of fact, Mac's only have USB keyboards.
I could care less about Linux.
I did look through Jam Tech's site. It's hard to say if there's anything good there, most of it is marketing stuff. There's some tech info but it's a bit light.
As well, please consider my post - 'digital amplification' is a contradiction. To amplify a digital (numeric) signal, you simply multiply it, or do other DSP work. In this case, JamTech isn't 'amplifying' they are doing a DAC with a high power (and in the case of one of their products high voltage) output. That is neat, but it's not really digital amplifcation. Close enough for the masses however.

Re: DVI out on a DVD Player from Pioneer
Thanks! I fear I'd run into the 'country code' issue, but at least they are offered somewhere.
I look briefly at Circuit City and Sears, and the only machines I could find that I could see the back side of in fact had 3 'rgb' outputs instead of the normal five. Marketing for the masses again ....

I found a site that has digital projectors but I'm not going to list it.
Be a little nice I will think about listing it.
Jam Tech amplifiers are true digital amplifiers. jgwinner, you haven't look hard enough. Works on a concept of a switching power supply.
I know how digital amplification works. DAC need to be atleast 1 gigahertz or faster for producing DVD sound.

I already have a 'digital' projector:
www.projectorcentral.com Database
Very nice unit, highly recommended. However, some people get units with 'stuck' pixels, apparently; might be better to wait until yields are up on the lcos panels.

HITACHI is very good. My computer monitor is from HITACHI.
It is best to use software DVD decoder for right now. Radeon cards does support HDTV signals but the computer monitor and ATI drivers will limit you. Use Power Strip to get 1080i if your LCD can support that resolution. I did try 1080i with my Radeon card but the monitor doesn't like it. The Radeon did accept it nicely.
I found a site that list tons of circuits, diagrams, information of electronics but I can't find it right now. I postive that I stored it on one my CDs.

SAMSUNG - DVI Out

wow, old thread
I'm using an HTPC to do either DVI or Analog RGB (pc version with 5 lines) to the projector, and it's working pretty well. I haven't found any visible difference with DVI vs Analog RGB, but I do get some 'static' oddly with the DVI, occasional white streaks on the screen. This doesn't happen with Anlog RGB, so we settle with that. Either is vastly superior to the SVGA out of the cable box.
I don't do 1080i, I use PC resolution to higher than what the LCOS panels have, and it reduces pixelation pretty well. It's a really impressive display.

OnMedic,
You are correct. The Samsung allows you to upconvert the video to 720 p or 1080i on the DVI output. It also sells for about $250.

Samsung 931 review
The Samsung DVD player with DVI output is reviewed in the Home Theater magazine January 2004 edition, with interesting details regarding this feature. The top of the line Denon 5900 also has a DVI output.
There are many more to come...

Re: SAMSUNG - DVI Out
My kids got this for me for Xmas -- the DVI out does NOT work (into my Samsung LCD monitor.)
Perhaps it only works with un-encrypted disks, don't know and there isn't anyone around at Samsung USA to answer questions.

Re: Re: SAMSUNG - DVI Out
I got one for Christmas too. The DVI works just fine! Make sure you do NOT have the 'Progressive' button on the front lit up for the DVI to work. I've tried all three HD modes into my Sony Wega with my differnt dvds and they all work.jackinnj said:
DVI output on HD931
Yes the difference is huge between DVI and Analog Component Output.
In short the improvement are better contrast and resolution.
The DCDI chips in the Samsung is quite effective.
The edge filtering is simply amazing.
The difference is more easy to catch with SuperBit DVD.
I'm using the Samsung HD931 with a Sony GWIII (KF50WE601).
I found better result at 720P (the GWIII is a native 720P LCD).

Does anyone have compatibility problem with DVD with DVI output and lcd display with HDMI input (HDMI include HDCP) ?

DVI compatibility with Sharp projector
Hello all,
I was interested in the Samsung DVD player for it's DVI output, and I have a Motorola cable tuner with DVI output, but neither will work with my Sharp PG-M20X projector. Only Sharp's newer projectors have HDCP, and my older (2 year old) projector does not support that protocol.
I have no intention of recording these DVI outputs, but I guess anyone with older HD capable projectors/TVs can't use DVI sources because of the HDCP (copyguard)?
Does anyone have a solution other than buying a new projector?
Thanks!

USB.org says
"Q4: What kinds of USB peripherals can I connect to my PC?
A4: USB carries data at the rate of 12 megabits per second, which is sufficient for "medium to low-speed peripherals". This broad category includes telephones, digital cameras, modems, keyboards, mice, digital joysticks, some CD-ROM drives, tape and floppy drives, digital scanners and specialty printers. USB's data rate also accommodates a whole new generation of peripherals, including MPEG-2 video-base products, data gloves and digitizers. Computer-telephony integration is expected to be a big growth area for PCs, and USB can provide an interface for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and digital PBXs."
Also,
"1. How much power does a system in S3 need to supply to USB?
A: 500mA per USB port. See section 7.2.3 for the details of device behavior during suspend and resume. The Device Working Group is working on power management extensions to the common class definition that should alleviate most of the S3 power supply issues with USB. Contact admin@usb.org for more info."
Hello kolrath,
The Marantz looks great, but still does not solve my problem. Since Marantz, and all other DVI output players employ the copyguard "feature", any projector or monitor too old to incorporate HDCP will not display any signal. Component works fine, but won't give as good a picture. My Sharp projector is all of a year old!

Well after looking abit deeper I see whe your getting at (and that i missed the crux of the problem 🙂
Well from what i briefly read one NG and other sources you have a couple of options:
1. Accept and Live with component.
2. Replace your HDTV tuner and your DVD Player with a HTPC that does both. You can buy HDTV tuner cards and video cards that output plain DVI-D.
2. Samsung 935 or similar DVD player. They have DVI out with HDCP but you can disable it. That might be somthing you can do with the Marantz. I know from experience that alot of the upper end players will have "secret" menus where you can disable things like region coding. So perhaps there will be an option to dispable HDCP. Perhaps talking with a local marantz dealer may lead to some information.
Otherwise I am not certain what you can do. Goodluck.
