rezok Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Guys, Has anyone successfully used a hdmi - dvi adapter with the ps3 (without signal loss.interference?). My screen has dvi inputs only. Audio can run seperately...just thinking of the cheapest and most efficient configuration options. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you might as well give up right now if it isn't Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezok Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Pulled some boxes and found a cable (dvi-hdmi) Didnt work...... ps3 - benq 22" lcd. wonder though, if it will work with the same cable from ps3 - sony hs50 proj... says here it is hdcp... http://www.projectorcentral.com/Sony-VPL-HS51.htm does that mean its likely to work? Unfortunately cant pull it out, because its in storage, but would love to know before I splash $225 on a dvi switchbox... cheers for the quick answer!

Yeah I'd check if the display is HDCP enabled. I believe the HDMI-DVI adapter should be OK, but Sony decided in their infinite wisdom that if you ain't got HDCP, then you ain't gonna get nuthing.

You edited your post while I was replying I believe that it should, but I'd be trying it out before spending any money. Don't forget that two HDCP enabled devices can refuse to handshake Andrew.

Livingthedream Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I use a HDMi-DVi cable as well with my PS3 as my panel only has DVI in. Works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
