Well the 100Hz is just a kludge to fit 576i on the HDMI signaling. My understanding is that the following happens: PC sends 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4.. but the a/v receiver just ignores every other frame because it knows about the 576i kludge also.. so it is just seeing 1+2-3+4 going into the deinterlacer + scaler. The 100Hz thing is just a workaround to get enough data on the link so that the HDMI handshake will happen :P - Vaizki -----Original Message----- From: vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ville Aakko Sent: 15. heinäkuuta 2008 16:53 To: VDR Mailing List Subject: Re: 576i output on DVI->HDMI? 2008/7/15 Jukka Vaisanen <Jukka.Vaisanen@xxxxxxxxx>: > My understanding is that 576i in HDMI is actually done as a 100Hz > displaymode where each frame is sent twice.

I'm not actually answering your question (I couldn't since I don't have any experience with these modern TVs), but, AFAIK, you wouldn't get very good results by doing what you describe. If every frame of 50Hz interlaced moving picture is shown twice, you'll get annoying blurriness and / or jerky movement. Anyhow, the movement won't be "smooth" as you might expect (because the frames are shown like this: 1-2-1-2-3-4-3-4-5-6-5-6-7-8-7-8 instead of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8). You'll get much better results by doing "true" deintercaling, and showing every "full" frame just once (i.e. 1+2-3+4-5+6-7+8 and so on). So what you want would be quite useless, IMHO, though I could be wrong. Someone correct me if you know better =). If you really want to show interlaced material as they are supposed to - i.e. you are a Hifi-lover - then the only "real" solution is to get a display that can (truly) show 50Hz interlaced - perhaps via a DXR3 card, as you used to =). > I am using xineliboutput currently as the software output device.

Or, maybe forget the upscaling and send 576p (n * 50Hz) trough the HDMI/DVI. -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aakko@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
