You’ll have to forgive me, because I really don’t know much about this //V stuff. But anything with so many pretty lights and varied inputs must be impressive to someone in the know. For those who are, here are some specs on the V3HD FireWire Video Interface:

• HD/SD BNC connections
• Composite
• Component
• FireWire 400/800
• S-Video
• RS-422
• XLR input/output
• HDMI output

I suppose it’s all for capturing video and such (my "duh" statement for the month), and it can handle 32 simultaneous channels. Sounds impressive. No idea on pricing, and it should be available before the fourth quarter.

Okay, so, I suppose that means you have an HDTV with only one HDMI input (or, perhaps, only one free input?), and multiple HDMI components that you’d like to not only connect to the TV, but also have them automatically sensed when they’re active. Well, heck, the IOGEAR has exactly what you’re looking for with their 4-port HDMI switch. Full 1080p support, HDMI 1.3, and HDCP, all for the (surprisingly reasonable) price of $189.95.

I think a person would have to choose the Onkyo Integra DTX-8.8 as their audio and video receiver. What other device could possible connect so many different devices without reaching critical mass? And, note that I’m assuming this baby doesn’t reach critical mass, an assumption for which I have no independent evidence.

There’s not much else to say, really. Just look, drool, and then cry because you won’t be able to afford its $2,692 price tag when it’s released in July.

The "world’s smallest" full HD projector – 2.7” tall, 9.2” deep and 10.8” wide – is projectdesign’s new baby. It is available but there is no pricing information (never a good sign).

It also uses TI’s 0.95-inch 1080p DMD, the firm’s proprietary RealColor technology, and is compatible with home automation systems with RS-232 and IP interfaces.

Additionally, it sports a 10-bit video processing engine, HDMI 1.3 compatibility, 1,000 lumens, and a even-segment, 5x color wheel.
