IGN found a solution for gaming lag: DVDO's VP20 and VP30
IGN has had...issues...with HDTV lately. Well, rather with HDTV gaming lag, but they have found a remedy - DVDO's VP20 or VP30. IGN blame the lag on the HDTVs over-processing of the incoming signal. So, these set-top boxes just make sense as they do all the processing for the HDTV. The VP20 and VP30 takes the incoming audio and video signals and output a single clean resolution to the TV. DVDO just released a daughter card for these scalers though that can preform rapid deinterlacing processing. This allows for two gaming modes that can preform ether a one or two frame delay with edge adaptive deinterlacing. Sounds great right? Well, it comes at a price as these processors aren't cheap. The VP20 is $1699 and VP30 $1999 with the daughter card add-on for $499.Would you be willing to spend the extra cash for no "gaming lag."
DVDO iScan VP30 high-def processor is now shipping
Yah need more HDMI ports? How about a dedicated video processor and scaler that will do up to 1080p? Yeah? Well lets throw in separate picture control for each input. Cool. DVDO introduced us to just a device way back in the summer of 2005 and the iScan VP30 is now available for purchase. The device will allow consumers to hook up the old VCR (maybe a Betamax), a DVD player, the kids Xbox and the high-def cable box. The VP30 will then take all those different resolutions and present the HDTV with its native resolution. DVDO says it best with "any rez in – any rez out." This unit is a workhorse in a good great home theater. Would you be willing to spend the sticker price of $1,999 for the ability to get the best picture possible? We would.
