Introduction I n t r o d u c t i o n This guide provides full information about unpacking the DVP1080MF 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 DVP1080MF The DVP1080MF 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 DVP1080MF 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 DVP1080MF 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 DVP1080MF 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 DVP1080MF 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). -
