High end processors with HDMI 1.3a

Kal,

Thanks for the update, but the earlier ones required hardware updates for the HDMI chips, and people had a hard time getting Integra to admit it, much less fix it. Sounds like they have finished with the Beta phase on the public and it's ready for showtime if you say so.

One word to describe the problem currently...

"BETA"

The longer you can wait the better compatibility can be generated HDMI 1.3b has already been spec'd to fix some more problems.... Most of the High end manufactures are waiting, a couple have jumped in Halcro (but people are sending their units to be updated all the time trying to get this to work). Your best bet are the Integra/Onkyo/Denons and go read up on avsforum about the problems with those..

I'm sticking with my Lumagen scaler and waiting to see how it looks at Xmas time...

Tdbdds: before you jump on the Integra/onkyo you should read about the problems on avsforum... there are audio drop outs and delays from the HDMI offconvert... service/support have required sending the unit back to be upgraded... I was all set to hunt down and Integra and decided not to after doing the research.
