Good point. I'm pretty sure a CX23418 will only ever be able to capture standard resolution using component video in. Even if I could coax the analog front end into an HD resolution configuration (doubtful), the MPEG encoding engine is still expecting 720x576 as the max resolution (PAL & SECAM). But component video for cx18 might still be a project I undertake sometime.
