Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo

Thanks to Dan Wemmer of Cary who suggested I should try a monitor with a shorter HDMI cable because the cable to the projector might be too long without an HDMI extender, and to Oppo support who suggested video resets for the BDP-95, A/V from both the HD-DVR and BDP-95 are up and running, and the iScan Duo now switches to the active input. I ordered an HDMI-HDMI extender from Lumagen.

I have yet to receive anything from DVDO except a preprepared email promising contact from tech staff.

What SW version do you have in the iScan BTW.

Hevac1 asks, "What SW version do you have in the iScan BTW."

I don't know, but I've been thinking about trying to do an update. The problem is should I run into a glitch in a download, past experience suggests DVDO support will not be available to help.

In support of Dan Wemmer's (Cary) hypothesis of an HDCP handshake issue with longer HDMI cable, A/V was fine with short cable to monitor, but same setup failed with cable to ceiling mounted projector. Lumagen extender is scheduled for delivery the 30th. Until then, I'll try to shorten the cable and connect to the projector from the Cary 11a rather than the iScan Duo.

With my iScan duo the HDMI input cables are all 6'. I have 2 Oppo's the 83 & the 95, computer and dish network. On the output I have a 50' to a JVC projector and a 25' to a Panasonic GT monitor. All works well together here.

Hevac1,

I don't have an explanation for the problems I'm having. There are only two reversions to the setup that worked flawlessly for several years that I haven't tried: (1) disconnecting the Sony from HDMI-1 of the Cary and reconnecting the Oppo 95, and (2) replacing the 1.5 m AQ Carbon HDMI cable with 1.5 m AQ Cinnamon. I had woriied that I may have damaged something by switching HDMI cable around while the components were in standby, but all seemed well when the output of the iScan Duo was connected by short cable to the monitor. I'm frustrated.
