I am borrowing an oscilloscope at some point soon to see if i can fix my 919 + my line doubler and ill see if i can give a bit of info about it if i get it working......
Well technically it is not a line doubler it is broadcast equipment for real time frame rate conversion with external sync matching ready for HiDef video mixing.
It also has a full time base correction (Ask if you do not understand this) with lip sync adjust and separate Horiz / Vert variable aspect ratio.
Somewhere in the middle of this it will do image up-scaling, de-interlacing, Y/C crosstalk error correction.... etc
Cant remember the spec but I know it was made by DVDO and will do 720p and 1080i but im unsure about 1080p,
Its only a few years old so if memory serves it also has HDMI in / out and is software upgradable.
It was originally used for tidying up VHS / BetaCAM for broadcast but now its a bit dead....
The description I got when receiving this item was it smelt like the magic smoke had escaped the power supply. :-p
Its going to be difficult to show the difference but i was wondering are there any discs that people would suggest for testing the image quality!
Ideally i could do with a proper test disc but i don't think i will be able to source one easily without going to the US.
