main left and right speakers and subwoofer), or PLII (recommended
for movies), using the DSP key on the front panel or MSR+.
The default preset is Trifield for audio CDs, two-channel DVD-As,
the internal tuner, or a two-channel external input, and PLII for
two-channel DVD soundtracks or a two-channel Dolby Digital
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 broadcast-quality, high-resolution
video processor/scaler which combines both Meridian and Faroudja
DCDi® technology. This processor can receive composite, S-video,
and interlaced component video, and convert between the formats,
or to the HDMI (high-density multimedia interface) 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 to the
HDMI v1.1 specification, either up to six channels of PCM at up to
24-bit, 96kHz, or a 5.1 bitstream, or two channels at 192kHz from
some DVD-A source material.
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 industry – the same resolution as
the best HD sources. A unique feature of HDMI is that it is able to
‘handshake’ between the source and the display to find the highest
quality supported format. Analogue component out is available at
480p and 576p.
The video processor includes picture controls, available via the
MSR+ and front panel. For the internal DVD and external video
inputs you can adjust the output aspect ratio, horizontal picture
position, and vertical picture position. In addition, the brightness,
contrast, colour, and hue (NTSC) are adjustable on the video inputs.
The HDMI output can be connected to a DVI input if the device
supports HDCP copy protection, using a suitable adaptor cable.
