Flip video footage.

Here's an early attempt, taken in Rome, GA last week or so... using the Flip requires a steady hand, if not a tri-pod. Image quality is good, sound not. Won't replace a good Panasonic or Sony HD camera anytime soon.

HDMI cont'd.

Remember this photo:
Shows my set up using component video connections from my Dish Receiver to our Panasonic Viera Plasma monitor. Also in the pic is the HDMI cable, the dark on the right, altho I am not using it at the moment. The big difference between the two cables, and one I failed to mention, is that you would use the HDMI to connect if you were using the TV monitor's speakers. HDMI sends uncompreseed video and audio thru the same cable. I don't use it cause I have a separate audio feed going to my AV receiver/amp. The component (RGB) signal is equal in quality to HDMI (or better). However, when I get a blu-ray dvd player I will use the HDMI cable to connect it to the TV.

Inauguration in HD Amazing to Watch!











As of Jan 1, we had the new Dish Network Turbo HD upgrade working and have been thrilled watching the Panasonic monitor. And the football playoffs in HD makes the cost worth while, far as I am concerned.
Learned something important that I want to pass along. After going thru the hassle of getting a HDMI cord, on eBay at a good price, I discovered that using the component cables, the red-green-blue connections on the back of most monitors these days, provides a superior pic than using the HDMI, on our system anyway. Clearly a sharper image.
So you might save yourself some money, HDMI cables tend to be more expensive than the component RGB ones.
