Installing the digital video processor
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 DVP1080MF Digital Video Processor is supplied with the following accessories:
• Meridian Faroudja remote (in a projector/processor package the remote is packed with
the projector).
• Rack kit.
• Power cord.
• This manual.
If any of these items are missing please contact your dealer.
Note: You should retain the packaging in case you need to transport the unit.
Applications
In a typical application a high-quality digital video source, such as a Meridian G Series DVD
Player, will be connected to the DVI input of the DVP1080MF via an HDMI to DVI cable.
The DVI output will be connected to a projector, such as the Meridian D-ILA1080MF1
or D-ILA1080MF2, or a digital display such as a plasma display. The DVP1080MF will
automatically select the DVI input and output, and will process the video signal to provide
an optimised video image without any additional configuration being necessary.
If you have more than one HDMI or DVI source, the DVP1080MF can be used in
conjunction with the Meridian HDMAX 421 to allow up to four HDMI or DVI inputs to
be connected, including a Meridian DVD Player. The HDMAX 421 is controlled via the
COMMs from the Meridian DVD Player, so the appropriate HDMI/DVI source is selected
automatically when you select an input on your Meridian system.
The DVP1080MF 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
component video inputs. The DVP1080MF will automatically select the active input, or an
input can be selected using a remote control.
Although in most applications the DVP1080MF will select the appropriate video input and
output without any further configuration, it includes a series of setup menus to allow you
to specify the characteristics of each input and output, and customise the video processing
options. Each set of settings can be stored as a profile and recalled at a later date, and
you can save up to eight different profiles for both 50Hz (PAL) sources and 60Hz (NTSC)
sources to cater for different video sources, display resolutions, or colour settings.
