Using Barco DP 2000 with HDMI

[Carsten Kurz]

It's a DP2000 with DVI, so it should be RGB.

Paul, are you sure the notebook output is set to 1920/1080? Very often, upon connecting a notebook, the display setting is set to mirror the internal display. If that display is 1920/1080, that should be okay, but if not, it is better to configure extended desktop (separate display) so the HDMI/DVI output can have it's own specific resolution set.

But, as you seem to have an image now on screen, you could just as well try a Bluray or media player to check HDCP compatibility, even if the colors are off at first.

It is often forgot that S1 requires a little more setup than S2. For instance, there is the "Extras" file in addition to the PCF and Inputs. So, you want to ensure that your "Extra" file is set to DVI_A_SP (presuming DVI-A is what you want. "SP" stands for "Standard Processing" which removes things like the scaler. Your PCF should be set to REC_709_2048_1080. This will get you to the right color space and ensure that the Screen file you are using does not obstruct the image. The DVI standard is RGB color, not HDMI's standard of YCrCb (if you get magenta looking images, you'll know you are in the wrong color space.
