Julie, sorry, but you emailed me some time ago that you had passed my questions on to someone. That is why I used the word Experts, with quotation marks because I had not had any response yet...but I have not had any response even now.

Well, our HDMI guru, who does some freelancing
for CE Pro, has this to say about the various
HDMI threads. His name is Jeffrey Boccaccio,
www.invisiontech.com.

Julie, I take it you put in that thread because he said something good in it, but I can't find it. What name does he use? Or did you intend for us to go to
www.invisiontech.com to look for his comments?

Okay. Test for what? Will the Gefen switcher
and the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR and the two
outputs going to the projector and the plasma
have DEFINED somewhere what is right and what
is wrong?
We have effects. I see no definition of what
we should have.

Okay, I am not quite understanding your question.
I was trying to bring attention back to the original post at the top of this thread. I have some components; when I hook 'em up, I get weird results and there is no documentation to tell me what to expect, what I can get, or how to make it not be weird. So,
I see no definition of what we should have.
I can test day after day but if nobody has given me a list of things to test for, well, how can I get anywhere?
However, as with any thing else in CI it is a
good idea to hook up the equipment (or at least
representives of) with the actual cable that you
plan to install.
That is exactly what was done. And that is the connection condition when the problems showed themselves. The other two threads did not seem to indicate that they were using substitute cables and things did not work right; things just did not work right!
As mentioned is this and other
threads HDMI/HDCP product compatability is and
will continue to be an issue. Do not guess or
take a reps word for it. Make sure that it ALL
works, my testor will verify that the cable is
sound not that the gear will work.
So you have a solution for the copper part of the equation. What is the equipment supposed to do? Where do we find this out? Does it vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?
I am seeing yet another product that is not ready for prime time.
