I wrote to Phil Hinton late last year asking amongst other things about some comparative features to do with new JVC projector models.I own an HD 100 which is short of a few desirable facilities such as Keystone correction, side blanking, focus and zoom "on the fly" and so on. I wanted to obtain an accurate opinion about the new models such as the HD 950 and 990. Thus far though, despite sending the request a further couple of times I have not yet had a reply apart from an acknowledgement that he was pretty busy and I do know that he was recently at the CES in USA. So that is fair enough!
However,there was another query I put to him, which in the absence of his considered answer, someone else out there on the AV Forum might have an answer or opinion on. Here is the verbatim gist of my query..to do with the projected picture (from the HD100) when sourced from Sky in Standard Def.
I do actually have another question. When watching some projected TV programmes,(via component from a SkyHD box) in particular BBC non-HD live-broadcasts,such as rugby, the picture keeps switching left to right by about say 4 or 5 Centimetres,when the camera changes.
You set up the picture exactly to the vertical bars of the screen ,say for the studio shots, only to find that when the camera angles, or camera positions change, so too does the picture,which shifts one way or the other. It is quite infuriating and I cannot pin down a reason for it,since it doesn't seem to happen on HD broadcasts. Regular programmes, on BBC (or whatever) seem to be stable, but its the live broadcasts which hop about. I have examined every parameter I can find,including aspect ratios in the projector, the Sky Box etc. Is there an explanation for this phenomenon? When one had gone to the trouble of tightly defining the picture edges, it is really infuriating that it will not remain stable.
So My fellow AV anoraks ( does anyone have an answer or idea why this is happening? Would be most grateful for any thoughts.
