DLP/LCD Projectors and Macrovision

[pbhalerao]

Hello all,

Please enlighten me. How do the overhead projectors compensate for Macrovision assuming S-Video or Composite (RCA) input from an AV Receiver? I did a forum search and Google search but did not find any answer.

Thanks.

best bet is to buy a video stabiliser,to remove some of the macrovision strains.
i know someone who uses a sony dlp and dvd player,and with the stabiliser connected,the picture is far better than without,on macrovision protected dvds

Hello RottenFoxBreath,

I don't think a Video Stabilizer is required. I think that LCD/DLP projectors will play the signal properly. I wish to know how macrovision is compensated - unless what I believe is not true.

ok,but i asked him about his problem,and he has told me that on certain colors and especially the black,he had ,what he describes as a pulsing onscreen,be it RGB,or S video.
so he got a stabliser,and alls well.he didnt want to chip his dvd player,and there were no macrovision hacks for it either.
his two projectors were a sony crt one,older model,and a new lcd one,very small,and for the life of me i cant remember the brand,maybe sony too.

I use component hooked directly from DVD->DLP projector.

I also have composite hooked DVD->Receiver->DLP Projector, and Macrovision is non-existant even through SVideo from Receiver->DLP Projector(Receiver up/downconverts video signals)

I doubt you'll have a problem,

Cheers

There are various forms of Macrovision but the VHS type will not affect monitors. It's designed to confuse VCR servos and AGC circuits but monitors can usually handle it.

OK. Here is a reply I received from Infocus:

Thanks to the on board state-of-the-art Faroudja deinterlacer, the 4805 DLP projector is fully compatible with Macrovision protected video signals, so you will not have any Macrovision effects
