Picture problem with ae100

[mcaw]

In some very dark scenes, I can make out darker near vertical black bands ( stripes ) all the way across, that seem to scroll across the screen.
Anybody any ideas what could be causing this.

What signal source are you using to the PJ? Sometimes if you have e.g. a Sky box plugged into your TV (both turned on) and then view another SCART source on the TV, you can see vertical bands scrolling across the screen due to SCART interference, it may be the same here with the PJ. Anyone got a better suggestion?

P-scan to component in on ae100, from a cheap Compacks 5000 Prog scan DVD player.

Try adjusting the dot clock and phase.

I have tried that combination of Compack 5000 (in progressive scan mode) via component to my AE100 and did not have any problems although I did notice ghosting on the image and the resolution wasn't very high.

Have you checked that your sending out the correct vid format from the DVD player (ntsc/pal). Also, do you see it when you take the progressive scan option off?

Out of interest, how do you alter this?

try unplugging all the video sources apart from the prog scan(cant remember whether it was dvd or the projector though!) this solved the same sort of problem when i had a cheap prog scan dvd player!

should be available in the normal options menu somewhere. It might only become active with a VGA input.
