Doesn't this take a dual-DVI connection for a digital
link?  I thought a single DVI topped out at 1080i/720p
and greater bandwidth required two DVI channels.

So does converting 720p to 1080i for display on a
native 1080i set.  The display artifacts are just
horrible when the camera pans across, say, a football
field with all those nearly-horizontal lines!
