  OK - I'm excited by the Realta chip, but I'm concerned about implementation. Ain't that always the way?

  There still ain't one machine that can do it all.

  The gang at avsforum sure is fired up.

    Yes, that seems to always be the case. However, a video processor is probably the best use for this chip (actually, it's literally a video processor on a chip!). Every video source that one has can be routed to the video processor, the image processed and then sent to the display according to what's the best format/resolution for that display. That said, it will probably end up in more displays than processors or source components due to cost.

    SDI from a DVD player through this chip would definitely cause a double-take when compared to HDTV.

  I wonder if Denon has done anything to improve the audio section within the new flag ship DVD5910? The 5900 very good in this area but could be better. Have you read anything about 5910 audio performance?

    This is the very first press release and, as far as I know, the only information available on the DVD-5910.

    The only thing that gets me is that all of the Realta chip's capabilities may not be available to the consumer, which would be an individual manufacturer's decision based on what they thought the consumer should have access to. Fuck that! Screw the general consumer and his/her ignorance. With a chip like that and the cost of the products that it will appear in, give me access to every damn parameter that Teranex/SiliconOptix allows makes available.

    I had my eyes set on either a DVDO or Lumagen video processor, but after I read the current 10+ pages of the thread on AVS (in the Video Processor section) it would be asinine to invest any money in such a product not based around the Realta chip. I have a feeling that both of these companies will come out with a new product based on the Realta chip: the question is When?

    Now, if Denon offered inputs on the DVD-5910 and gave those signals access to the Realta chip...
