- Is my Digital Video Machine compatible with a DLP or D-ILA digital projector?
The Digital Binloop HD, DVM/HD (legacy and model 8400HD) and DVM2 both include analog component video outputs that are fully compatible with digital projectors that provide corresponding inputs.
- Is there a limit to how large my video files can be to play in the Binloop HD/Digital Video Machine HD (Model 8400HD)?
Yes, and no. The Binloop HD reproducers/DV8400HD use the FAT32 file system, which has a maximum file size of 4GB. This means you cannot directly play a file larger than 4GB in the Binloop HD/DVM8400HD. However, you can divide this file into several 'chunks' using a file splitting program. As lon ...
- Surround Sound (Dolby Digital): Where does the Binloop output digital audio?
