[/quote] No news. It's known to work, also before 1.1 The signal is progressive (although it says "1080i", same as the HBR-"i"), but it is 8bit, 4:2:0.

markm Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks for the info Axel. I don't think there can be much of an advantage using the ninja as you end up with 8 bit 4.2.0 You can't use ex tele and with driftwoods NEW hacks I'm better off.
