Hi

Does anyone know of a DVD player that is Standard Def but has a HDMI output which can output at normal SD resolution, not upscalled?

I need to input it into something that only accepts a SD signal.

Generally you can set the output resolution in the setup menu, however anything with HDMI input 'should' really accept standard resolutions anyway.

I'm tempted to ask what it is that can only input SD resolution on HDMI?

Don't, it is like me asking for a new TV that only supports SD and not that horrible HD output

Why would something that can accept a HDMI cable only support SD

Doesn't seem to add up, any tv/display with hdmi should be HD by default, feeding a non upscaled signal to such a display would mean the display would have to upscale the image regardless, so whats the point? Upscaling is a fact of nature to display a lower resolution image full screen on a higher resolution display.

Just stump up and buy a bluray player , no frills ones are incredible value if not downright cheap !

I'm intrigued, what has an HDMI port but can't do HD?

My TVonics DTR HV-250 ia able to upscale but won't receive the HD Channels when they come to the Dover transmitter in a couple of months time. No worries as I'm a CRT-phile.

Wrong end of the stick.

It's to connect to a Blackmagic Design video switcher.

Working in SD you have to have all your inputs feeding in as SD.

I've used up all the SDI inputs so was trying to feed a DVD player in by HDMI.

A number of DVD players / recorders have HDMI to upscale SD......

Hi

The problem is, I need it to be an SD output, not upscalled to HD as the mixer only accepts SD signals.

I think you'll find that they just about all do this, even my Sony Blu-ray player will let you output SD over HDMI.

Pick your player and then find a manual online before ordering if you are worried about the unlikely situation it won't do this.

They do. But more importantly for the OP they can also be set to send the original SD signal over HDMI and allow the TV set it is normally connected to handle the upscaling. Which gives gives the best rules is usually a case of suck it and see.

I would be surprised to find any upscaling DVD player which did not allow you to do this.
