Thank you , Guy.
It is amazingly comforting when you think you might have caused a guffaw by an outlandishly stupid idea …. and you discover someone else has executed it successfully, in principle at least. So my focus will be on using the DVI connection …… but with misgivings about my ability to do whatever is necessary with the Beo4 to magic up “PC”.
I am still amazed that straight input from a device like your Apple TV, where the granularity at 1080p is higher than the capability of the TV, can be tolerated. ….. as will occur in your BV6-23 case and my BV6-22, both being 720p. I think your article put this down to manual selection of a setting in your Apple TV ( 720p @50Hz) …… and I have no idea if the Manhattan T4 offers such adjustment. I’ll ask them what settings are available, if any.
As for stripping the audio out of the HDMI signal you had to perform, Manhattan has obviated this from being needed in my project as it has been done within the T4 by offering the optical S/PDIF audio out ….. and it’s just a matter of converting this to L/R audio ( there are converters out there to perform this conversion, from CYP for example).
In another thread you talked about a much more worrying aspect of HDMI signals – HDPC – that is designed to prevent HDMI video signal transmission if the both the transmitter and receiver are not HDCP capable ….. which will surely be the case for something as old as my BV6-22. Is this feature of the modern world not likely to be the job-stopper of all job-stoppers?
