Ah, my Pioneer 5080 is a 768p but does accept a 1080p signal. That is how I have it set up with the oppo BDP-83. So does the 83 have either of the chips you mentioned? I'm very pleased with the DVD performance from the oppo and if the 978 can do the same with standard def TV it would be great.
OPPO Digital started working with the ABT2010 with the DV-983H (originally built with two separate chips - the ABT102 for deinterlacing and the ABT1018 for scaling - although later production runs went with the ABT2010 in place of them) and re-used that experience when they developed the BDP-83, which includes the ABT2010. The ABT2015 was released last year as a somewhat less expensive alternative to the ABT2010 and has started showing up in a number of receivers this year.
