Does the iScan Ultra support progressive scan and High Definition sources?
The iScan Ultra only processes standard definition 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL/SECAM) signals. The iScan Ultra does not process progressive scan (480p or 576p) or High Definition (1080i, 720p) signals, although it can pass them through unchanged to its analog output. Connecting a progressive or high definition source to the component input of the iScan Ultra will result in a split, unstable or scrambled image. Most progressive scan DVD players can output both 480i and 480p signals through their component output. We suggest that you set up your progressive scan DVD player to 480i output, and hook it up to the iScan Ultra unit through the component connection. In that case, the iScan Ultra unit will convert the 480i signal from the DVD player to a 480p signal feeding your display. Today’s HDTV receivers output High Definition signals (1080i, 720p) through either DVI, component or RGB. This output should be connected to your display directly. You can also connect the component or RGB output
