Can I pump 480p or 720p over S-Video to Dell 2007WFP?

[imported_nigor]

Dell 2007WFP supports a res. of 1680 x 1050. Does the display support 480p or 720p over its S-Video or Composite input? And if not, can S-Video or perhaps Composite in general carry those signals, or the interfaces do not have enought bandwith or what not to stream such content?


Thanks!

in a word, no

you can however probably get a component to vga adapter and run 720p on the analog input.

In theory it is possible to get 480p to work through S Video. With 3 connectors, Component (RGB) is capable of outputting 1080p. 2 connectors for S Video should be sufficient for passing a 480p signal if engineered to. (S-Video is one cable at glance, but it's really two rolled into one for superior seperation versus composite) But if you're asking if you can just plug an S Video connection into your display and get 480p and 720p, you're out of luck. The industry does not allow it.

can't you just get a hdmi to dvi cable? the 2007wfp is supposed to support hdcp.

If you want component HD inputs get the 2405 (or 2407 if it still has the inputs).

I used to play my xbox at 720/1080p using them (Although ive swapped to the vga connector now as it scales better).

Hmm, I just got an idea from your replies. See, the cable box I have has a DVI-out connector. The display has vga and dvi inputs. I can connect my computer through dvi, and then get vga-to-dvi dongle and connect the cable box to vga input, you think that would work?

dispite all of this, i think s-video is 480i only?
