video processor & hdmi


Here's the issue. I'm getting a new pre/pro that is absolutely awesome, but it lacks hdmi inputs (which at this moment doesn't matter much). I was thinking about getting an external video processor and do all the video switching through that. Probably something like a DVDO iScan VP50Pro. Can I take the HDMI input into that processor, output video at 1080i through the component and get the sound output through the digital output? Reading the manual on the DVDO website made me no smarter...

Just found this thread. I just bought an InFocus IN83. It has only one HDMI input, fortunately its 1.3. But I want to hook up both my blu-ray player and my cable box via HDMI. I would also like to hook up my Exemplar-Denon Statement 5910 DVD Player (great sound for my concert DVDs) via component input into a video processor and output it via HDMI to my projector.

From this thread, it sounds like that won't work. Is this correct?

Thanks for setting me straight, whatever the answer.
