HDLink to projectors
I purchased a pair of Blackmagic HDLInks for my church’s IMAG system-to take the SD SDI video output of our Broadcast Pix 2100d into a pair of Panasonic PT-D5500U projectors. The image from the HDLink does not fill the frame-it seems to fill only 50%. I’ve used the EDID overide to try to fix the the problem, but w/o success-any ideas?

I see that those projectors can take both standard and high def signals. You’re feeding SD from the 2100D, perhaps the projectors are set to HD?
Also, there’s a x2 option for the HDLink made for just that purpose, magnifying a SD signal to fill a HD display. Don’t know what that looks like though.

David-thanks for the reply.

We are running the projectors in standard def.-the RGBHV input has been in use for some time. We’re going in the DVI input.
I’ve been through the X2 setting in the EDID override w/o effect-I wonder if the projector is being “fooled” by the HDLink into a certain resolution which I need to override?

David,
I just tested the x2 setting on a Dell 2405, native resolution of 1920×1200. Playing SD 720×480 anamorphic material via SDI into the HDLink, DVI to the display. With the HDLink Utility set to 1:1, the image takes up about 20% of the display. With the HDLink set to 1:2 it’s, naturally, twice that. Still showing large amounts of black around all sides.So, the x2 setting is working on my system. Certainly sounds like your projector is expecting a higher resolution than it’s getting. Funny that the x2 setting is showing no effect for you though. Is the power light on the HDLink flashing? It should be with the USB cable plugged in.
Regards,
David
