One of the ways Taky listed to present HDV is plugging your HDV 
camcorder into a high-def monitor using the component video output. 
You can do that with some LCD and LDP projectors as well if they're 
equipped with component video inputs, but not all of them are.

Canon offers a component-to-15-pin VGA adapter that lets you plug 
your high-def component output into a standard computer input on the 
back of a Canon projector. It retails for $60, but I found the same thing here:

for only US$3.57 plus shipping.

I just tried it on a friend's Canon LV-7265 projector, and it works 
very well. It's an XGA (1024x768) projector, so it had to reduce the 
video to 1024x576 to maintain the 19:6 aspect ratio, but it still 
looked sharp and showed (to my surprise) most of the details of the 
original video.

I'm not sure it will work on all projectors with a 15-pin computer 
connector, but the adapter's so cheap it's worth a try if you've got 
a projector you'd like to use for HDV projection.

P.S. I'm shopping for a projector right now that will work for HDV 
projection, and was looking at the new generation of 720p home 
theater projectors that are now priced at or below US$1000. Has 
anyone on the list had experience with them? I notice that as soon as 
you get into a wide-screen "home theater" projector as opposed to a 
4:3 business projector in the same price range, the lumens drop way 
down for the privilege of a wide screen.

Please reply off-list since I suspect we're getting a bit far afield 
from Premiere.
