Hey Wayne,1. Yep
2. Yep
3. The vast majority have the progressive output avaliable via componet video only. A very few also provide RGB outputs...the Krell DVD Standard is the only such model I know of, for sure.
4. You might be able to use the pass through you mentioned. I'm quasi familiar with that scaler...actually my expirence is with the SC4050, but probably close enough. Anyway, my memory is a bit foggy, but I remember having some trouble sending the VGA output of said Krell DVD Standard through the VGA pass through input on the 4050. I can't recall all the details, but I do remember that we ended up installing a Extron VGA switcher to bypass the problem. I'm not sure if the "problem" was the Runco CRT, scaler, or Krell DVD? You might give it a whirl. You might be able to use a VGA/RGB breakout cable, hook the componet outputs to the pass through and then set the projector to "sync on green". That means the projector will look for they sync commands on the green cable instead of their own seperate cables. The basic difference between VGA and componet is that VGA has seperate conductors for Hsync and Vsync where componet carries that info on the green cable.
The problem with setting the sync to green on the projector itself, for the pass through is that the scalers output is "regular" VGA with dedicated sync lines...could be messy? Breakout cables are cheap...I'd give it a try. Extron switchers are $600 and up...that'd be the "other" soloution.
5. Beats me...other inmates that follow current DVD hardware trends more closely could probably give a better recommendation.
6. See #5.
Hope I was of some help,
:-)
