  1080 consumer plasma / HDLINK

  Posted by Aaron Neitz on March 19, 2007 at 10:27 pm

  We’re talking about getting some big 1080 plasma screens for client viewing monitors in our HD suite. Any problems with using an HDLink with the HDMI adapter with consumer TV’s? Specifically, will a 1080 plasma take a 23.98 progressive signal? Having trouble finding this info in user manual’s, etc….

  thanks!

  Ok, well I’ve discovered the standard Hz for most LCD/Plasma monitors is around 60. And I think the same goes for the Apple Cinema Display…. and the HDlink does automatic frame repeating to turn 23.98 into 59.97 fps.

  Yes, anyone? The BM documentation is a little thin on these details.

  Yes, HDLink looks at the framerate reported back by the display via EDID and adapts accordingly. This includes adding pulldown to a 23.98 signal in order to fit it to a 60Hz display.
