I had to review some hd footage from work today at home.

So i installed edius on my home media center pc. My pc is connected to my hi def crt tv with component.

My TV is a JVC hv 3240bk one of the only crt tvs in the uk to accept a 1080i input.

I use it to play wmhd, HDV tapes etc. I have a two monitor set up, a Computer monitor as the main monitor and the tv as the other and i have them set up in clone mode.

When playing back video off the time line in edius i get a full res full screen output to the HD TV in component. WOW. :thumbup:

The footage is 720p and the graphics card is outputting 1080i. This would be a very good edit set up with real time HD component out to a table monitor on the cheap.

My graphics card is geforce 6600 GT .

Sarah - In clone mode, doesn't it just display a copy of whats on your desktop monitor? (ie-timeline, bins, mouse scrolling around) Do you scale up the preview monitor in the Edius program to full screen before playback to second cloned monitor?

For some reason all video even windows media player and the video window in Edius is scaled up to full screen on my HDTV. The hd video coming out of edius with my graphics card is very good. Much better than sd coming out of my DVstorm card of my other computer.

This type of output is usually called overlay clone (or in the old ATI world, Theater mode).

The problem is that the overlay display itself is not always full resolution or full framerate. What you're seeing is a scaled-up representation of whatever the overlay data is.

it is full resolution and full framerate looks as good as the 1080i component output from the z1 cam

If you have a chance, could you try sending out an alternating-vertical-line image to the TV?

An alternating black/white pixel pattern fill would also work.

Granted, if it's a CRT TV and not LCD/DLP/Plasma, then you're not going to get full-resolution representation anyway, but I'm curious. :)
