Cine6 question

if Cine6 is fed by 1080i is it going to scale down the picture to 800 lines, or something else happens?
thanks

 

According to the Barco forum the Cine6 will accept a 1080i signal.

 

Hello Larsan,
that was not the question.

I know it will accept 1080i and will not accept 720p. That is clear.
I want to know what exactly happens when it gets 1080i

Cheers

It by passes the scaller

£1 says it won't fill the screen as the power supply and electonics stress out.

 

Sorry, I misunderstood.

This is info from Tom at Barco:

 

Don't get me wrong set up properly the Cine 6 gives a super image that will still blow away any DLP or LCD projector.
Most of the "shops" won't demo it due to the price and hence profit.

If the interntion is to use it for 10801 to start with I would go for the Cine 7 which will cope with that sort of retrace much better.
