I'm hoping to join the CRT user fraternity shortly. I have a Barco Cine 7 that I hope to get Roland's help with installing soon. I have a 6ft wide 16:9 electric Vu-tech screen on order - can't go any bigger due to room constraints. The Cine 7 has a built-in LIDO line doubler which will be OK to start with, but ultimately I want an external scaler. Sources will be a Theta David II DVD transport (interlaced component output), Pioneer CLD-D925 laserdisc player (s-video), and a Pace digital cable TV box (RGB/composite). I'm assuming that I won't be able to go beyond about 720p with the Barco.
I am looking for recommendations for scalers I should be considering, new or second-hand, up to about £5k. The DWIN Transcanner in the classifieds looks tempting but I don't have the cash right now. Following The Event, I was more or less decided on the Vigatech, but I'm having second thoughts and am open to persuasion again. So apart from the aforementioned, the Rock+, Jenz's new offering (?), Extron USP405 (anyone have any idea of the price?) what others are there in this sort of price range that should be on my shortlist? Anywhere I can go to compare any of these head-to-head?
