Then you probably want one with a digital, perhaps HDMI, output. The iscan HD looks like something I want, but the HDMI version isn't due until next year. Current version has SDI, though.

I was also trying to get some info on scalers. I have a few jobs that have plasmas that need about 60' of cables to equipment. I was considering a Key Digital Leeza with an MIT active DVI cable which used 3 cat5es. What would you guys recommend? I am also considering Runco. Thoughts?

I've never used one. But I'm planning on a digital PJ, perhaps this winter, and I still use some analog sources. I have a feeling I'd prefer an iscan to the PJ's scaler.

Hey guys I just got this tip in an email from our Audio Research rep about a new scaler combo that he was very impressed with and I thought I would share it with everyone.

mr2channel, it depends on your price range.
The company I work for manufacturers some seamless switchers / scalers which are probably among the best on the market.
Depending on the price range you are looking at the scaling can be done for as little as $1395. The higher end models have HD outputs as well as PIP (picture in picture), listing for $1995.
Shoot me an email and I can get you some lit on them.
