source on an external digital input. You can change the default DSP
preset for a particular source and audio format using the Assign
key on the front panel.
Note: Trifield is not available for Dolby Digital or DTS two-channel
external inputs. Trifield and PLII are not available if the output is
downsampling to 48kHz.
Video
On the video side, advanced video circuit designs, matched
phase video filters, and a broadcast-quality video encoder are
employed to deliver low-noise images of outstanding colour depth
and resolution. Separate ultra-low jitter master video and audio
oscillators allow picture and sound to be independently optimized,
ensuring that the G Series DVD players deliver breathtakingly clear
pictures.
Video processor/scaler
All models include a unique high-resolution video processor/scaler.
This processor can receive composite, S-video, and interlaced
component, and convert between the formats, or to the high-
density multimedia interface (HDMI) standard, to provide a single
video output for all the video sources in the system. A bypass
function allows progressive or high definition component video to
be routed directly to the component output only.
The HDMI port also carries high-resolution digital audio, either two
channels of PCM at up to 96kHz or a 5.1 channel bitstream. Built-
in broadcast-quality circuits and both Meridian and Faroudja video
processing deliver the most advanced, high-quality video available
today. The HDMI port supports a wide range of high quality digital
video options including 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i. A unique
feature of HDMI is that it is able to 'handshake' between the
source and the display to find the highest quality format. Analogue
component out is available at 480p and 576p.
The video processor includes picture controls, available via the
MSR+ and front-panel display. For the internal DVD and external
video inputs you can adjust the output aspect ratio, horizontal
picture position, and vertical picture position. In addition for the
video inputs you can adjust the brightness, contrast, colour, and
hue (NTSC inputs only).
The HDMI output can be connected to a DVI input if the device
supports HDCP copy protection, using a suitable adaptor cable.
