Re: Sony PVM-14L5/1 set up

Jeremy,
I would like to use the PVM-14L5/1 to monitor a SD JVC D-9 deck(480i), a Sony HDV deck(1080i and 480i)), and the KNOA LHe(multiple format). I would like to route the component outs of all these sources to a passive selector, and then onto the PVM. The question is, will it support these various signals without the optional HD input board--to which I think you answered "yes".
The second question is--As I switch through these various component signals, will the PVM automatically detect the resolution and aspect ratio? Or, will I need to go into a menu or use front panel buttons to tell it what kind and size of signal I am sending?
I'm guessing that if it is like older PVMs, I will at least have to use the 16:9 button when going between a SD and HD(1080i) source. Or will I??
