Help Connecting Computer To 2-Channel Rig For Video
Ok this will be easy for most of you folks, but for me….
I have a pretty good 2-channel system with a separate DAC that can function as a network streamer for audio.
I have an el-cheapo projector that has an HDMI input along with a cheap pull down screen.
I have an OPPO 95 DVD player and I use that quite merrily to watch concert DVDs on the projector system, digital output from the OPPO to a dCS DAC.
What I want to be able to do is watch live streamed TV on the projector system in much the same way as I do with DVDs. This includes services such as Netflix, YouTube, etc.
I can watch everything okay on my MacBook Pro, so I suppose I am looking for a way to connect that to the system, with video on the projector and audio to the DAC.
My OPPO 95 doesn’t have an HDMI input, I don’t think. I believe the next later model does. So my current thinking is that I either need to pick up a later model OPPO with HDMI input on the front, or go to Walmart and buy something similar??
But then…. Someone threw a wrench into my thinking by saying I would have issues with voice syncing if I went down this route? (HDMI out from a MacBook to OPPO > HDMI from OPPO to Projector > digital output from OPPO to DAC).
Can someone please suggest the best way to expand my system so I can watch streaming TV services on the projector with audio through the main rig?
Any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to spend more than about $500 or so.
cheers

Get a Smart BluRay Player, has built-in access to netflix, youtube, many services. bluray to projector, done. BDP-S6700 Blu-ray™ Player with 4K Upscaling and Wi/Fi for Streaming Video they make wireless and wired ones, do your research I like wired, have a cable from Verizon router in the basement to a switch near my Home Theater: switches have ethernet in/4 ethernet out, IF you get a bluray player with ethernet in. Or, get a bluray that receives the wireless signal from the router. Weak signal from primary router, add a router near your Home Theater rather than a switch, then the wireless signal from that router will be strong, for the bluray and anything else using wireless. No need for computer to select streaming sources, and you either play a DVD or stream, using one remote control!!!! |
