  2x mode for 720p using HDLink?

  Posted by Ajpme on October 13, 2005 at 9:41 pm

  Is there/will there be support for running 720p in 2x mode on a 30″ cinema display (like the 2x mode for SD NTSC/PAL)?

  Also, would a HDLink be of any use hooked up to a consumer CRT via HDMI for the sake of matching the color profile to mimic that of a C phosphor SMPTE multires monitor?

  2x Scaling is currently only available for Standard Definition.

  Matching the black of broadcast monitor to a CRT monitor varies from unit to unit.
  Suggest Apple Cinema Display or Dell 405FPW LCD and be amazed.

  Hi,

  Please refer to the support note Does HDLink support the 30-inch Apple display? for information about the HDLink and the Apple Cinema HD 30″ display. The short answer is “no” because HDLink has a single-link DVI-D output whereas the 30″ display uses dual-link DVI-D.

  The DVI-D monitoring output of the forthcoming Multibridge Extreme and Multibridge Studio will support the use of single-link DVI-D and dual-link DVI-D displays. In other words, a new version of HDLink will effectively be built in to the new Multibridge models and supports the Apple Cinema HD 30″ display.
