Introduction I n t r o d u c t i o n This guide provides full information about unpacking the DVP1080HD Digital Video Processor and connecting it to the other equipment in your system. It also explains how to operate it to get superb results with your video sources and display devices. About the DVP1080HD The DVP1080HD Digital Video Processor uses a series of patented image-processing techniques to produce superb image quality with 1920x1080p digital displays from a range of video sources. The DVP1080HD converts 1080i interlaced HD video to a clean, 1080p progressive format for use with digital projectors and plasma displays. It includes full high-definition cross- conversion and standard definition processing, with patented technology for de-interlacing, motion tracking, colour fidelity, and image detail enhancement. Although it is ideal for use with digital projectors and plasma displays via a DVI or HDMI input, it can give enhanced image quality with all types of displays, including LCD, DILA, and CRT-based devices. Selectable output profiles The DVP1080HD allows you to create a profile for both 50Hz (PAL) and 60Hz (NTSC) sources for each display in a multiple display installation. Each profile stores 30 different parameters to ensure that the output is properly optimised for each display, so that the DVP1080HD produces the highest quality image with any display and any video source. Inputs In addition to the recommended DVI high-definition digital video input, the DVP1080HD provides a range of analogue video inputs to cater for almost every conceivable video source, including composite video, S-Video, RGB, YPrPb, and HDTV/PC (DV15F). -

I n s t a l l i n g t h e d i g i t a l v i d e o p r o c e s s o r This chapter explains how to install the digital video processor. It describes what you should find when you unpack the product, and how you should connect it to the sources and displays in your system. You should not make any connections to the product or to any other equipment in your system while the AC power supply is connected and switched on. Unpacking The DVP1080HD can also cater for additional sources via the component video, S-Video, or composite video inputs. For example, a satellite receiver could be connected to the RGB The DVP1080HD Digital Video Processor is supplied with the following accessories: component video inputs. The DVP1080HD will automatically select the active input, or an input can be selected using a remote control. The DVP1080HD can also be connected to an • Meridian Faroudja remote (in a projector/processor package the remote is packed with analogue display device, such as an analogue CRT projector, via the analogue outputs. the projector). -

A Meridian HDMAX 121 cable extender may be used at the far end of an HDMI cable to resolve difficulties in many cases. To connect a DVI projector or display (eg Meridian/Faroudja For 1080p, fibre optic cables should be used for lengths over 4.5m (15') (or any cable rated D-ILA1080MF1) for 1600x1200 resolution. Check with cable supplier). The processor monitors the DVI input and output status and provides the following DVP1080HD Digital Video processor information on the front panel display: Display Explanation DVI Input signal is supported NO INPUT No signal is detected. DVI PASS-THROUGH A VESA rate has been detected and sent to the output unprocessed. RATE NOT SUPPORTED A VESA or non-video rate has been detected but the selected output is analogue RGB or YPrPb. - Page 13 With HDCP encrypted sources, it can take up to 15 seconds for the HDCP authorisation between source and display to be acquired. The display device must be HDCP compatible to get an image. The SETUP menu offers selections for setting the output type. See Configuring the digital video processor , page 17 for details. To connect a high scan rate analogue display • Connect the R, G, B, H-sync, and V-sync component video outputs from the DVP1080HD to the RGBHV (5-wire) input of the analogue display. Alternatively connect the Y, Pr, and Pb outputs from the DVP1080HD to the YPrPb (3-wire) inputs of an analogue display. RGBHV is highly recommended over YPrPB. Use only high-quality 75Ω cables. RGBHV must use five wires. Be careful not to swap the H and V cables.
