VP30 + 8720 = XTC
Tonight I hooked up the DVDO IScan VP30 video processor to the Benq PE8720 projector. I changed the Oppo DVD player to output 576i via HDMI, thereby leaving the VP30 to do the de-interlacing and scaling to 720p, and...
The PQ was magnificent :)
Even without any colour temperature calibration, the picture looked great. I had to reduce the sharpness a little though as I was getting a lot of picture noise, particularly on the edges of text and people's heads.
I can still see room for improvement with grey scale adjustment to get better shadow detail like I've seen in the stores, but this will come when I get the system professionally calibrated.
Here's some blurry happy snaps, I assure you the image was a lot crisper than these photos show... I really need a new digital camera!

those skin tones look a little over saturated.... need to do a bit of calibration me thinks :P... or it's the camera that needs an upgrade.
good work mate.
andre and jeremy
Well spotted lads. I was wondering who was going to pick that up!
Did you also notice the dead pixels in my camera? ... it's time for a new 5D ;p
we were actually wondering how long it would take you to get to that conclusion... Is photography the next thing.... I guess you need some good content to view on that set up.

Mate, your floor is sloping down to the right.
But my Lebanese concretor told me it was level! ;)
