"The Realta HQV has some distinct advantages over the Reon HQV in that the Realta is programmable/upgradeable to add new functionality as it is created, utilizes a faster CPU core, as well as a much higher capability 16 to 1024 TAP adaptive scaler, a more capable "Cadence" detection engine and more capability in the Geometry Processor (eWARP2) giving the end user much more flexibility when used with an HDTV Projector. The eWARP2 and eWARP VX engines are an option on the Realta and Reon chipsets respectively, depending on which part number within the family is used."

"Erik...Just to clarify...The Tx-SR605 does NOT "up-rez" or scale video to 1080P over HDMI. Only the "875" and "905" in this series have the Silicon Optix REON Vx chip that does this. The Faroudja DCDi doesn't do 1080P, it's a limitation of the chip. It will do up to 1080i or 720P though. The "605" will, however, pass any 1080P signal input into it's HDMI inputs untouched to it's HDMI output. If you want 1080P, scaled from any source you plug in, regardless of input and source, then the 875 is your best choice. Or, if you have a fat wallet, the 905 adds a few nice new features that may or may not be beneficial to your setup."
