First and foremost....am I using port 4 or 5 or does it even matter?

Does the Barco do ok with rgbhv? or should i do RGBs?

Anyone know how to get the ps3 working with this vdigi?

I looked at the vdigi--it is crap. Get Kim's if you are going to use component.

But, your problem is most likely sync polarity. You want negative for the Barco (and yes RGBHV is preferred, but you would not be able to tell the difference). The vdigi may do positive or preserve. Kim's lets you set the sync polarity to you can force negative no matter what the input source.

Another option is an Extron box between the vdigi and the PJ (because the vdigi does not have a good output stage to drive cables this would help it).

Had to use port 3 with my Data 808 due to the fact it would only accept negative sync on port 5 (RGBHV) but I thought the graphics 808 model would accept both Positive or negative sync on port 5 ?

The vdigi is only a short term solution....so port 3 is a better option?

Is someone has an external moome for sale, let me know.

If it is a sync issue, then port 3 will work. Do you have a port 3 cable?

No port 3 cable...I'm not too worried about it. I'll come up with a better solution soon. For now, I'll bring my pc down to the theater room. I was hoping to make it pc-free with my PS3...oh well.
