composite and S-video outputs, plus progressive component video
and up to 1080p full-spec High Definition on an HDMI output. The
processor can receive two composite, three S-video, and interlaced
component video inputs, and convert between the formats, or
to the HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) standard, to
provide a single video output for all the video sources in your
system.
Picture adjustment controls
The video processor includes picture adjustment controls, available
via the MSR+ and front-panel display. These include Contrast, Black
Level (Brightness) and Saturation. The black level, contrast, colour,
and hue (NTSC) are adjustable on the video inputs.
A bypass function allows progressive or high definition component
video to be routed directly to the component output only.
HDMI port
The HDMI port also delivers high-resolution digital audio, up to six
channels of PCM at up to 24-bit, 96kHz; two channels at 24/192;
or a 5.1 bitstream.
The HDMI port supports a wide range of high quality digital video
options including 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p, the highest
video resolution available in the consumer industry – the same
resolution as the best current HD sources. Analogue component out
is available at 480p and 576p (plus 1080i pass-through).
The HDMI output can be connected to a DVI input if the device
supports HDCP copy protection, using a suitable adaptor cable.
To avoid potential degradation of High Definition signals caused by
switching video signals inside the unit, the G92 includes a single
HDMI video/audio output with HDCP.
To support environments where it is required to switch multiple
HDMI-based sources (such as a High Definition PVR) to a single
display, the G92 directly supports the Meridian HDMax 421 four-
into-one HDMI switch box, which permits source selection on the
G92 to switch HDMI inputs seamlessly via the 421.
