13. forever we all have our own opinions but what matters is which works best for you in your own install with your own gear If you get best picture performance with HDMI then go ahead and use it but if you get best performance with Component then use that instead We ourselves have tried many DVD from several leading manufacturers each with varying results in terms of how HDMI Compatible they were Our Company view is that component video is the preferable connection medium when using a standard definition source such as a PAL or NTSC DVD player since it is so important to output from the player at native resolution There is also the issue of how many bits HDMI runs at compared with the component video signal That depends on the data format which your DVD player chooses to output but this is something you almost certainly have no control over many players choose to output RGB which means that on single link HDMI they are running at 8 bits not 10 This is our view but even so if you prefer to use HDMI with your SD source go ahead and do so that s what we put the inputs there for Please remember we are not stating that HDMI is useless or that our HDMI implementation is useless but we are observing that some SD originated sources don t work terribly well on HDMI This is far less likely to be the case for true HD sources where use of HDMI is often mandatory However these tend to be newer product designs with better inter operability H

PAL is 576i and native NTSC is 480 484i so if you are outputting 576p or 480p then this has already been de interlaced by your DVD player You can check this by looking at the menus to find out if the line rate is approx 15KHz i or approx 31KHz A common mistake when using Vantage HD is for the user to allow the DVD player to de interlace or scale the signal from its native format This is very bad for picture quality since the de interlacing and scaler within Vantage HD is far better than that within a DVD player itself If the picture content has already been screwed up by the scaler within the DVD player the improvement seen when using Vantage HD is not as great as when Vantage HD is given a native format signal Remember unless you have a true HD capable DVD player a Blu Ray or HD DVD player then your native format is 480i if playing an NTSC DVD and 576i if playing a PAL DVD All other formats are NOT native since they differ from the format in which the DVD itself was recorded Unfortunately many HDMI capable DVD players refuse to output unprocessed i formats on their HDMI connectors which is very annoying of them since to get best performance you ought to let Vantage HD do all the processing including the de interlacing This can be a significant reason for using Component instead of HDMI since you generally have more control of Component via the menus on your DVD itself Which is better HDMI or Component Well you can argue this
