QUOTE(mpyw @ Jan 14 2008, 02:25 PM) HDMI 1.0 - This is the first version of HDMI. HDMI 1.0 combines a digital video signal (standard or high-definition) with a two-channel audio signal over a single cable, such as between an HDMI-equipped DVD player and Television. don't forget your whole HDMI chain will default to the lowest setting.. and also ability to bitstream DTS-HD to amp is great with the next gen low cost blu-ray players which don't have builtin decoders (so 1.3 min required IMHO)HDMI 1.1 - This version adds the ability to transfer not only video and two-channel audio over a single cable, but also added the ability to transfer Dolby Digital, DTS, and DVD-Audio surround signals, as well up to 7.1 channels of PCM audio. HDMI 1.2 - This version of HDMI adds the ability to transfer SACD signals in digital form from a player to a receiver. HDMI 1.3 - This version includes improvements in both audio and video capability. With the advent of Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD, version 1.3 adds the ability to transfer the digital bitstreams for the new high resolution audio formats: Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD. HDMI 1.3a - In addition to the above audio improvements, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a increase the amount of video bandwidth that can be transferred from a source to a display. This means, that in addition to the standard 24-bit color depth we are used to, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a have the ability to transfer color depths up to 48-bits, and can accommodate resolutions much higher than the 1080p resolution standard that is in use today. if the player is doing the decoding, for audio..HDMI 1.2a will be good enough, since it will decode and transfer as PCM. unless your display support deep colour and the lip syn thing...u don't need HDMI 1.3a as for higher bit color depths, this is a real bonus.. as it's 8bit per color already you can see color banding on LCDs... surely you need to go higher bits soon to eliminate these visible issues..

QUOTE(mpyw @ Jan 18 2008, 03:15 PM) 7.1 important if you have 7.1 speakers lor... IMHO, all these basic HDMI 1.2 amps should be priced below 2k, anything above is overpriced.. since it's 06/07 product design...V661 can accept lossless PCM nia, cannot decode bitstream lossless but can matrix lossless 5.1 to 7.1 so if the 661 is below 2k that's fine.. |
