Best Projector/DVD combination

Bmpnyc believes correctly on the upsampling, my only complaint(s) on an otherwise perfect player is that the progressive output at the component video outs cannot be turned off to interlaced (means that you cannot utilize components if T.V. is not 480p capable and if so, you gotta use s-video for 480i), and the thing doesn't do CDR/CDRW's. This really bites because I have a ton of CDR's. (I had to pull my junky Denon out of the closet for CDR playback).

Oh yeah, and I don't really like the fact that it shuts itself off after 20 minutes or so if not actively used--wish it would just stand at attention for me. Other players are starting to use the same video chipset that the Ayre and the Camelot are using though, just not sure which ones.

Thunders, I think it's the DVDO version II. We are getting close to what people really need, an all format player, with 5 channel capability with digital and analogue outs, that automatically follows the video flags enabling an automatic switch between 480i/480p without the current Genesis chip. Camelot would probably have made a second generation DVD player addressing J.T's issues by now ,but their player is based on the Panasonic A-110, and they are not in limitless supply, so they will run out of a source machine. The Panasonic didn't have the red chroma problem either.

Thank You for your feedback.
Thunders, how does the problem you mentioned affect me, considering that I intend to buy a projector which is "progressive-scan" ready?

What about the EAD TheaterVision P? How good is it? I heard it has the DVDO chip also.

Flava, It isn't a problem with the player, it is a problem with the player's poor, broke, owner that can't afford to go out and just buy everything he sees and likes, in this case, a progressive ready T.V. Put another way, I can't use all it's performance. Put another way, it won't affect you at all if you run it into a hi-scan projector.

Bmpnyc, you got it all down. I did ask the guys at Camelot whether an all in one player was in the works (if so I could bide with something else). They said no. Also, the guys at Camelot (Mel shilling) are about the best I've yet seen in terms of customer support. Bent plum over backwards when we thought we had a problem with the player. Turns out, the player's owner is not only poor and broke, but also stupid from time to time. :-)

Thunders and Bmpnyc, I read a review on the Camelot Roundtable that, besides saying that it is a great player on both sound and image quality, said that, unless you are gonna use its "extras" features, like better S-Video Output, the aspect ratio button, and others, it may not compansate to pay the US$ 3,500. Considering that I won't be using any of its "extras" features, I'm kind of thinking that I will be buying a priced DVD Player and paying for more that I need. That's why I was considering buying the EAD Theatervision, which uses the DVDO chip (at least I think) and sells for only US$ 2,500, or even the SONY 9000ES. What do you think?
