Does this support HDCP Handshaking? I need it to use my Roku player with an older projector. Will it give the purple screen, or work properly?

I don't know for certain, but it worked between an Acer laptop with HDMI out and all the monitors and projectors that are at least 5 years old.

No , this is primarily used for a PC HDMI output where by the PC can send an analog signal. Your player doesn't have this functionality

Ken, did you find a cable that supports HDCP Handshaking? I've not gotten this cable to work with AppleTV, looking for alternative. Anyone?

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

When I last checked it was incompatible but don't let that deter you. I added a Roku 2 XS for the much better menuing it offers than using the built in Internet browser and a far smoother streaming experience. With broadband &gt;3Mbs the Hi Def images I see on this set are much better than I have seen on many theater screens. It really has changed how I see films.

Sorry this doesn't answer your question but I had one if you are willing to answer it. I ordered the PJD5122 Projector and I'm wondering how you can hook up a bluray player to the projector if the projector doesn't have a HDMI input.

All these wonderings but no answers. I too am wondering if it works with projectors

It is worth considering whether or not the signal has HDCP encryption on it. If you're using it to display the output of a PC, it will work as you describe. But if you're trying to convert an HDMI output from something like a BluRay player, it may not (and likely will not) work, because of the HDCP encryption coming from the BluRay signal.

This model does not support HDCP 2.2. This will only be an issue if you want to play some future Ultra HD 4K content in the future. If you don't plan on upgrading to 4K in th very near future then HDCP 2.2 compatibility should not be a concern.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

Thank you for your patience. Our warehouse manager has reviewed the situation. Here is the information provided: The item packaging itself does not mention anything about being Roku compatible, but: The game has an audio cable for your MP3 player. So if your Roku box can play songs (and you have the right audio cables, which may not be included) it should connect with no problems. I'm fairly certain that not all models of the Roku have a 3mm audio jack so depending on what the client has, a trip to Radio Shack may be in order to connect the items. Ultimately they should be able to communicate but not necessarily right out of the box. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any issues as they arise.

There are a few potential problems here. Check and make sure your HDMI chord works with other devices. I had a problem with my HDMI plugin after a power surge. The projector was not surge protected. I replaced my Optoma HD20 with this model. I understand that you can take this to an electronics store and have them fixed the HDMI port. This is really the only option other than replacing the whole unit.

Nice to meet you. The mini port to HDMI actually worked well for me...I only use for my projector but it gets the job done well. No problems at all thus far. Hope this helps.

I needed to connect to a projector and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't work with w roku.

Assuming you are using a VGA port (you didn't specify how you plan to connect), just use a VGA cable as other reviewers suggest. VGA is an analog standard but can still support high resolution -- you might just see some minor signal degradation.HDCP as mentioned below could be an issue depending on the movie type -- if it's not DRM (rights management) you should be fine.

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

The HDMI handshaking protocol has to be inviked everytime a device is switched, so never switch devices unless ypu are prepared for this delay, it is true of all HDMI switches not just this one.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

There is an big issue with compatibility with certain Bluray Players: it seems to me that on a lot of them, you don't have shadow detail. My cheap Toshiba Bluray player was exactly like this. Sadly there is no way to fix it. there are no settings to change it. The only thing that works 100% sure is use a laptop or PC to power it. But this has nothing to do with the projector itself, just some confusion on the basis of HDMI and how bluray player and projector don't seem to work together as they should.
