Joe, thanks I dug in & found that the Dell projector supports a myriad of resoultions in scaled modes including 1080. NoiseBoy, youre right I can use a vga to component splitter & dell says that will work on this projector. I noticed most normally state HDCP 1.2, are there any newer versions of this HDCP abomination, or any on their way out?
The seller of the above linked item tells me this box is HDCP compliant & will do the job for dvd/bluray. PS The converter you link to makes no mention of defeating HDCP its use is probably limited to being compatible with non-encrypted content.
HDF2 is one of the very few options you have in terms of defeating HDCP.

If you have a user manual for the Projector it should give you a list of supported signals on the VGA port!

If the HDMI Output of the AVR is not in a format the VGA port on the Projector accepts you will (in addition to using something like the HDF2 to convert Digital to Analogue plus Defeat HDCP) also need to re format the signal before it hits the VGA port of the Projector!!! Your projector has a certain number of pixels (you say its 1024 x768) and then accepts and scales a limited range of Input signals. Ensure the converted to analogue signal is in a format the VGA port on the projector accepts. Convert the signal from Digital to Analogue.Ģ. To connect the digital Output of the AVR to the Analogue Input of the Projector you have to do three things:ġ. Your AVR has to (by the terms of the HDMI adopter agreement) apply HDCP to its HDMI Output when the Source device connected (via HDMI) to the Input side of the AVR is applying HDCP to the source signal. VGA being an analogue input is not HDCP compliant. HDCP is a digital encryption scheme applied to the HDMI (and sometimes DVI) Output of high value HD and SD content from a Source device. I dont want to do complex setups each time so avoiding this path for now.Īnd lastly, lets ses if any of our options will also work when I buy a bluray player next month! It has HDMI out, VGA out & also a second external sound card with optical out so can give that digital into receiver, & then just plug projector into vga out. I also have a laptop, which may be an option but prefer not, open to sugestions if thats much easier/free Receiver has S-video & component outs, but being a new model its probably going to downscale to 420/520, yay Marantz for not being specific here! My projector doesnt have Component Level input, contrary to what review sites will tell you if u google this modelīut I do have composite in, & could technically buy 2 converter cables, 1 for HDMI to component & then componenet to composite, doable?Īlso looked at people selling HDMI to VGA + Analog Audio out boxes rather than cables, any idea if they are all HDCP compliant? My understanding is that using 2 cables, 1 for HDMI to DVI & 1 for DVI to VGA wont work, true? Ive been pondering buying a cheapo HDMI to DVI/VGA type cable, but as you experts know its complicated. So, my question is whats the best way forward? Yay Dell for not publishing detailed spcecs. Im guessing its not HDCP compliant, but can anyone make my day by telling me otherwise? Projector Native XGA 1024x768 scalable to 1600x1200īut some specs are ambiguous saying its also 1080i, doesnt make sense to me, anyone?
I have a Marantz SR6004 receiver with hdmi out which Id like to use to connect to this projector - preferably. Ive got a Dell 2400 MP projector which has VGA, composite & s-video inputs.
