So if I set the EDGE to RGB and I still get a picture on the TV that should be fine?RGB is recommended though since the native dynamic range for videogames is 0-255 while all YCbCr color spaces are limited to 16-235. The most important thing about is that your TV has to be set to the same color space. Some TVs will only accept RGB, others only YCbCr, others both, some automatically, others manually.
yes. Just make sure that your whole chain delivers/gets full range RGB (edge setting: computer; 360 setting: extended range)So if I set the EDGE to RGB and I still get a picture on the TV that should be fine?
depends on the BD player's decoder as well . The BTB (blacker than black) area is not supposed to be visible after calibration anyway.I wonder if playing with these colour settings will stop the hard clipping I get at video black (visible when I run my video essentials calibration disc) ?
you should set your display's brightness to a level so that the picture looks good WITHOUT adding (or decreasing) brightness on the Edge. You can do this by using the Edge's pattern.Can I keep it at auto since it says RGB anyway? Otherwise I can just lower the brightness on the EDGE.
why do you use optical outputs from those systems anyway, when all three carry their digital audio signal through HDMI ?So I run my optical outputs to a manual switch to my receiver instead of through the edge(x360,ps3,hd-dvd player).
My receiver does not have HDMI only optical and analog. I think I remember trying to get optical out of the edge taking the audio from HDMI and that the result was not favorable, but it's another thing I should try again.Fudoh wrote:why do you use optical outputs from those systems anyway, when all three carry their digital audio signal through HDMI ?So I run my optical outputs to a manual switch to my receiver instead of through the edge(x360,ps3,hd-dvd player).
Yes but you have to turn off the other sources before this happens. When all is powered on I can switch freely between them tootrunk wrote: As for the snow problem(HDCP) Konsolkongen had I could not reproduce it. I switched freely between ps3, x360, and xrgb-3, auto or manual and it found the PS3 every time.

I'm not really sure when the 240p support was exactly added, so here's a 120_v067 version, http://pms.hazard-city.de/EDGE_120_067.abt , dated 16th december 2008. I've got 36 different FW files from 2008 and 2009 alone. The 240p implementation was done quick quick since the fix was developed on the 50pro before already.
240p still recognised on that 120_v067 FW.... have you got an earlier one mate?Fudoh wrote:here's the latest one: http://pms.hazard-city.de/EDGE_162_143.zip

When HDCP is enabled in the signal it is not possible to re-route the audio to the optical output. On the 360 this is not a problem as HDCP is not enabled, on the PS3 it's enabled all the time, so you won't get any sound unless you use the optical in from the PS3.why do you use optical outputs from those systems anyway, when all three carry their digital audio signal through HDMI ?
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. On my DVDO this works just fine. I actually do this with my PS3 (HDMI only to the 50Pro), from there HDMI to the TV and coax to the amp.When HDCP is enabled in the signal it is not possible to re-route the audio to the optical output.
Well that's what the user manual said, I should try it to be sure.Oh, I wasn't aware of that. On my DVDO this works just fine. I actually do this with my PS3 (HDMI only to the 50Pro), from there HDMI to the TV and coax to the amp.
my theory was that they need to implement an additional processing step. At this time the 240p source is directly upscaled to the output resolution (which obviously causes the softness and the ringing). They should (hard-)double the lines first and then scale the image. Unfortunately the engineer at ABT who worked with me on this (Dale Adams) dropped out of ABT's services shortly after getting the initial 240p recognition done.... (and that would be possible on the FPBA-based 50pro only and not on the ASIC-based Edge anway).Now... if they could of kept the sharpness on recognised 240p input the EDGE would of been seriously kick ass.
