lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high jitter rejection.
Lexicon's proprietary auto azimuth technology corrects timing and
level imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate
playback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio pass-through
output is available for recording digital signals with a CD recorder
or a similar component.
Complementing its audio performance, the RV-8 features broad-
cast-quality video switchers. A wide-bandwidth component video
switcher accepts analog component or RGB video signals, while a
composite and S-video switcher accepts high-quality NTSC, PAL or
SECAM video signals. Composite and S-video sources can be
converted to 480i NTSC (576i PAL) component video. The compo-
nent video switcher can pass high-definition TV (HDTV) signals, as
well as standard-definition TV signals. The switcher is designed to
pass video signals without alteration or degradation.
Built to professional standards, the RV-8 is designed to serve as the
control center in any high-quality home theater. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique combina-
tion of power, performance, flexibility and expandability. The RV-8
is equipped for the needs of today and the demands of the future.
