Different Aspect Ratios on different HD200s?

To this point, I've had a single HD200 plugged via Component into a 4x3 television and everything has worked fine. I just acquired a 16x9 HDTV that I plan to hook up via HDMI. In switching my existing HD200 back and forth, I've had a lot of trouble getting the aspect ratio to switch.

I'd like to buy a second HD200, and hook one up to each TV. However, I was wondering if this would work correctly or if the sage server will want to be handling only one resolution. Can I have 2 different HD200s accessing the same server at the same time, but one in 16x9 and one in 4x3?

Thanks!

J

When you set them up, they not only can have different aspect ratios but different 'overscan' settings which fine tunes the picture size to the actual display/TV set you are using. If you move them, the settings will follow the box.

Those settings are all per extender/client. You could, if you choose, have completely different UI's between extenders as well.
