Not quite.  I'm running 720P, the projector (Infocus X1a) is 800x600
native  with a 118" 16:9 screen.  The projector can accept 1080I, but it
would get translated down the same as 720P and I'd rather run progressive
than interlaced.

I'm viewing SD content (DVDs, DirecTV), but the output from Myth is 720P
and it comes through P5, crisp and clean.

RapidRun is designed to support at least 1080P, I've read of people
running 100+ feet at 1080P on it.

The splitter cuts the power in 1/2, but I suspect that even with the
splitter I could run 1080P at up to at least 50 feet.


P.s. if anyone knows of a reasonably priced 1080P projector....
