had a demo of n-vi yesterday connected up via dvi to hdmi on a pioneer plasma, could someone explain to me if the n-vi was outputting normal pal or ntsc resolution and that the hd pioneer was doing all the upscaling, as although i thought the pq was very good there seemed to be somthing that was not quite right, although i cant put my finger on the problem

n-Vi outputs native PAL/NTSC DVD resolution. No upscaling (It does de-interlace though).

Probably the screens internal scaler.

The standard n-Vi does not upscale. The results should have been very good if it was a current Pioneer plasma. If the dealer was using an external scaler which wasn't setup correctly, you could experience problems. I can't think of anything else which would cause a problem.

thanks for the replys they were not using a scaler, perhaps the image was sharper than i am used to, when i get a n-vi will be using it via component into panny pw6b which will i beleive will downscale the pal signal, am trying to find somewhere where i can demo the nv-i displaying into a sd screen via component, at the moment am using an arcam dv-89

Hi John
I'm runing a DVD5 into a Panasonic pw6b and the picture is stunning. I previously used the arcam dv-88, and their is no comparison.

hi egypt thanks for that i know the nv-i will not be as good as your dvd5, having said that the sound quality in stereo sounded much better than my denon 3805 even through my mk 17s am hoping to buy one in about a month when have re-dec the front room
