[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 89418, member: 80"] The saga continues... I believe I now have a workable solution for this weeks event though there are aspects I don't understand. I am hoping some of you video gurus can educate me. I have reverted to a simple mechanical HDMI switch. Between each of the sources I have a Gefen HDMI or DVI Detective which records the EDID of the projector and keeps the source happy when disconnected from the projector. So, now all there is is a little resync of the projector when switching inputs. I can live with this. My puzzle for now is that some combinations of DVI cables to HDMI and also an electronic switch/scaler from Monoprice (3x1 HDMI Converter Switch -MC301) end up with an image that looks kinda pink ( like the green is missing ?). I guess I could understand that perhaps the HDMI signal source could be a little weak after the Gefen box since the source is over an amplified 120' cable. I didnt expect the 10' DVI cable through the scaler and a 6' HDMI to a DVI adapter at the projector to o it too. Can someone explain to a sound guy what is likely going on and are there any low cost solutions you can suggest? I expect that if I had a thousand dollar or more budget there are likely lots of Kramer class products that could help. At this time I am already spent out of my budget for this gig and need to get it behind me but my quest for understanding is not yet satisfied. Thank you Sent from my iPad HD [/QUOTE]
