MODEL- HD-A2
FEATURES- HD DVD Player
High definition playback delivers 720p/1080i resolution at a
transfer rate higher than DVD or even HDTV, resulting in a more
detailed, realistic picture. Advanced audio, including Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD (core only), along with
legacy formats including Dolby Digital and DTS bring an increased
sonic realism to movie soundtracks.
Backwards compatibility means you can enjoy your existing library of
DVDs and CDs, and through the process of upconversion using HDMI,
your movies are scaled to match the resolution of your HD display.
An interface suite includes an abundance of audio/video connections
as well as an ethernet connection for firmware updates and future
internet delivered features.
* VIDEO
- HD DVD Playback
High Definition video requires a tremendous amount of space on a
disc, thus a new Blue laser (versus a Red Laser for DVD) is utilized
for HD DVD. The blue laser, with its shorter wave length, allows for
information to be stored more densely on the disc, thus improving
storage capacity by about over 3 times compared to that of a red
laser technology. Additionally, more accurate and efficient video
compression like MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 (based on Microsofts Windows
Media) compress information to achieve file sizes that are less than
half of those of the current standard DVDs MPEG2.
- High Performance Disc Drive
HD DVD not only provides a deliverable HD media format to the home,
but does so with the potential of greater performance than you have
experienced with HDTV. The HD-A2 disc drive has an astounding
36.55Mbps transfer rate. To put that in perspective, standard DVD has
an average bit rate of less than 10Mbps and HDTVs maximum rate is
24Mbps.
- DVD upconversion via HDMI Video Upconversion - 720p/1080i
HDMI can support uncompressed digital video up to HDTV resolution.
Thus the player makes use of this conduit by up-converting the
standard DVD picture resolution of 720p or 1080i. This makes a DVD
player with an HDMI connection the perfect match for today's digital
televisions. And because this conversion is performed in the player,
the signal remains free frome excessive digital to analog artifacts.
- High-performance SHARC DSP
Realize the benefits of new generation high-definition audio to
complement high-definition video with 32-bit floating point SHARC
DSP. Designed to perform audio conversion while executing extensive
on-board multi-channel signal management, SHARC DSP in HD DVD
delivers the stunning audio to complete your total high-definition
experience.

decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS and
DTS HD (core only).

Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders The HD-A2 has built-in processors to

Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 ch), DTS and DTSHD. It employs the use of four
DSPs to decode the multi-channel streams of the wide array of audio
formats. These 32-bit floating-point DSPs are world renown for their
high accuracy and are employed in many high quality audio solutions
in the home theater market.

* JACKPACK
- HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-
supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video connection. HDMI
provides the best interface between a DVD player and compatible
products, such as a digital television (DTV). When matched with a
compatible TV, this single interconnecting cable combines: Multi-
channel audio, uncompressed digital video, intercommunication between
devices and simple control Protocols. This single cable connection
ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure
by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal
output resolution.
- Coaxial Digital Output
A single, orange RCA-type jack that sends the audio signal to a
receiver in its digital form. Unless the player has an optical
TosLink or six analog audio outputs, the coaxial output is the only
way to access the Dolby Digital/DTS track encoded on the DVD disc.
- ColorStream Pro Component Video Output
These outputs allow the video signal to be sent from the DVD player
to a component video equipped interlaced or progressive scan TV. When
this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical
NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually
eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with
unequaled color purity.
