Anybody have any info about this line doubler/de-interlacer?
I just bought one off of ebay.
I could only find info about the IEV T-1500 using google search.

I'm going to have my laserdisc and also vcr hooked up to it then going to my ATI-9600XT All in wonder card to capture the video. I'm mostly going to be doing Laserdisc to DVD conversions of movies that never made it to DVD.

Is this a good doubler/de-interlacer. I read all the reviews on the IEV T-1500 and seems like that is a good model. The IEV T-2000 looks similiar but has more inputs.

Here is info about the T-1500

What this basically does is take an interlaced video input and converts it to progressive (they use the term IDTV - Improved Definition Television, not to be confused with the current usage of that acronym to mean integrated digital television). The progressive signal is output as RGB through VGA or BNC connectors, for connection to a monitor, projector or other progressive display.

I can't see it would be much use for capturing, because your All-in-Wonder card doesn't have an RGB input.

The T-2000 has an s-video output which I can run into my AIW card.

If it doesn't work, I will just use it to watch it on my 42" Sony HDTV that has RGB inputs.

I got the impression that the s-video connections were inputs only. If you can feed it a composite video input and output s-video to your capture card, then you will be able to take advantage of the T-2000's comb filter and noise reduction.

If it doesn't have s-video outputs then I could use a vga to s-video adapter.

Wait, wouldn't using the s-video in on the scaler bypass the comb filter and noise reduction??

"Having a good comb filter in a doubler/multiplier is only important if you are feeding it a composite video signal. Y/C or YCrCb cables bypass the comb filter, so for most quality video sources, the comb filter in the doubler/multiplier will not be an issue."

This is true, which is why I said feed it composite video in my post above. (The connection from the doubler to the capture card should be s-video, of course).
