jasona, Thanks for info and screens.
>> We still don't know how elaborate it is (e.g. in comparison to Audyssey).
Please inform when you will know..

jason1976, >> and make its modifications with a parametric eq and a separate graphic EQ is layered on top of it. Question is: how many points of parametric eq used for each channel? Haw many listening points supported by EMO-Q system (in comparison to Audyssey) Heh...waiting for info... Is anybody know, what DAC/ADC for stereo/pure-direct mode used in UMC-1? How this devide play music..  ? |

The subwoofer graphic EQ uses different frequency bands. Emo-Q adjusts for one listening position. Emotiva's philosophy for Emo-Q is that at best any of these systems just provides a good starting point for you to make final tweaks by ear. None of the available systems can really "fix" a bad room or questionable speaker placements, but can help identify problem areas (room modes, etc.) that you can then address. |

Thank you so much I have been waiting for months and months. This piece of gear is going to complete my system finally. Can't wait. Any idea how the up conversion to HDMI will look has any one seen it from SD to hd on a movie or tv?

Gotcha, they must have written something completely different than what the Cirrus chipset provides. The documentation on the chipset says that a 12 band parametric eq is involved with the autoeq system and post processing can be applied on top of it. I wouldn't think the auto eq would be completely different than what the stock Cirrus solution is, but who knows. I'm sure we'll get more specs soon. |

I couldn't find if the UMC-1 has different programmable audio/video delays (usually +/- on audio) per input channel.
Does anyone know this?

Dann G.,
In the latest update on the UMC-1 feature set, "subject to Macrovision guidelines" has been added on the HDMI to component conversion feature. Can you shed some light on what that means? Specifically, what restrictions/limitations will the UMC-1 impose on converting HDMI source material to the component outputs?

Depending on what flag is set in the source, you could get either 1080i or 480p out over component. Bluray players do this now if you are not using HDMI. |

Actually what it all boils down too is that if a souce is sending in a copy protected signal, we can't output it at any resolution on component. The latest regs from DCP won't allow this. But anything coming in HDMI that is not copy protected, can be sent out over component up to 1080i (just for referrence it is not possible to send 1080P over component). In the owner's manual which we will release soon it will show a matrix of input to output combinations and restrictions. |

Yikes, so no commercial movies at all over Component unless we use the component output of the player (if there is one?) |

... or rip it on a computer first and play it back via a computer or streamer. Time consuming.
But I think what is being said is that if your SOURCE is feeding via HDMI, they can send it back out over component. i.e. the HDMI source is HDCP compliant so the processor can decode it.
Or have I missed something?

Getting back to the equalizer - I use the Behringer BFD for sub adjustments. At quick look - it doesn't appear to be quite as functional... but I'm guessing it will be pretty damn close (as long as your sub isn't way off). Very interesting - would love to eliminate another component in the chain.
Anybody know if the XMC-1 equalizer will be any different?

Nice try, but no it would not do the trick. That little device is HDCP compliant so it would not circumvent any restrictions. |

It actually says it is "HDCP deciphering" in the text which seems to imply it decodes and then sends out the component. I wonder what the legalities are - maybe someone can try one and see how it works?

There is some language there that suggests it would work. It states that it does not allow the end-user access to the analog video once it is connected to a display. It suggests that they are selling this device to allow component based displays to accept HDMI signals. Essentially turning component input into an HDMI input with HDCP intact. Not sure if that language makes it legal, but it seems to imply they are indeed circumventing HDCP rules.

Assuming that this thing really is HDCP compliant it will not pass through hidef signals if the source has the copy protection flag enabled. If it does, then I suspect it will not be on the market very long and the makers will get sued.
