Author Topic: Blu-ray input thru Doremi IMB - Settings? Michael Stuart Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-17-2012 06:25 PM                     I just installed a Doremi IMB in my Christie and want to use the HDMI input for a Blu-ray player. If I dont use my scaler the image output seems underscanned. Is there a proper setting, other than Auto-Square Pixels, to use in the Christie? The option to get 8 channel audio from the IMB is just too cool to give up by going thru a scaler Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-18-2012 12:14 AM                     Have you first checked to verify the setting in your blu-ray player? I've known many to default to 480P unless specifically set otherwise.  |  IP: Logged Pietro Clarici Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Foligno (PG) Italy Registered: Sep 2008 posted 05-18-2012 05:38 AM                        Do you have a 4K projector? In my experience (NEC 3240 and Doremi IMB), when using HDMI the media block only outputs a 2K signal centered on the screen. You have to create a new macro on the projector enabling the internal software scaler to have it fill the full 4K frame.  |  IP: Logged Yinghong Wu Film Handler Posts: 32 From: Suzhou Jiangsu China Registered: Apr 2012 posted 05-18-2012 07:44 AM                     Just Brad said,Please check the blue dvd setting to ensure the output is Hdmi mode.  |  IP: Logged Michael Stuart Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-18-2012 08:40 AM                     Yup, Blu-ray is outputting in 1080P. The image is only slightly smaller than when I use it with a scalerb but noticable with the flat screen file. I could create a smaller screen file, but would like the masking to line up. The projector is only 2K, went with the IMB for future upgrade flexibility. Even a laptop set to 2024x1080 is smaller than the flat file unless I run thru the scaler.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-18-2012 01:13 PM                     Is the projected HEIGHT the same?  |  IP: Logged Anders Nordentoft-Madsen Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Valby, Denmark Registered: Aug 2005 posted 05-19-2012 04:58 AM                        Try with these macro's: -<AutomationCueMacro> <Name>1TO1</Name> <Id>urn:uuid:db9b4212-4fab-46c9-ad7c-121064ae3040</Id> -<CommandList> -<Command> <Type>DeviceRawSendMessage</Type> <AnnotationText>SET_SCALING_ONETOONE</AnnotationText> <DeviceName>Certainty</DeviceName> <MessageType>text</MessageType> <Message>31,CTRL,1,SRATIO 0 0x02,N,??,\r\n</Message> </Command> </CommandList> </AutomationCueMacro> -<AutomationCueMacro> -<AutomationCueMacro> <Name>SIDEMASKING</Name> <Id>urn:uuid:04f5454b-4a78-4bce-8a04-aa40fd3302f5</Id> -<CommandList> -<Command> <Type>DeviceRawSendMessage</Type> <AnnotationText>SET_SCALING_SIDE_MASKING</AnnotationText> <DeviceName>Certainty</DeviceName> <MessageType>text</MessageType> <Message>31,CTRL,1,SRATIO 0 0x00,N,??,\r\n</Message> </Command> </CommandList> </AutomationCueMacro> -<AutomationCueMacro> -<AutomationCueMacro> <Name>TOPBOTTOM</Name> <Id>urn:uuid:b72dd43b-0081-495a-a272-35f0b9d90a3f</Id> -<CommandList> -<Command> <Type>DeviceRawSendMessage</Type> <AnnotationText>SET_SCALING_TOPBOT_MASKING</AnnotationText> <DeviceName>Certainty</DeviceName> <MessageType>text</MessageType> <Message>31,CTRL,1,SRATIO 0 0x01,N,??,\r\n</Message> </Command> </CommandList> </AutomationCueMacro> Sorry about the formating.  |  IP: Logged Michael Stuart Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-20-2012 11:31 AM                     Not sure about the height, I will set a test pattern and measure today.  |  IP: Logged
