What would happen if... BD on 720p?
I am thinking of moving Some of my favorite movies to Blue Ray. I researched this and am pretty sure I know HOW to do it.
My question is that all I have is a 50 plasma that does 720p (or 1080i). If I rip a BD to disk on my server then play it using the HD Extender on my 720p plasma will the server go nuts down-rezzing the picture to 720p? I know if I down-rezz a HD recording so I can play it on my SD TV in the bedroom the server jumps to 100pct and it is unwatchable, will it do the same going from 1080p to 720p? |

The extender (HD100/HD200) will output it at whatever resolution you have the extender set to.

Yep, it's really no different than watching a 1080i video when you set the resulution to a fixed 720P or try watching any HD signal via composite/svideo output (480i).

The HD100/200 will do the work. It will NOT put a strain on your server.

That said, if you're asking about an MVP, Blu-ray will likely crush your server 2-3x as much (or more) than regular HD.
