The Meridian DVP-2351 is a versatile
high-definition video processor
designed to deliver maximum image
quality with powerful digital video
processing to get the best out of
any input signal, standard or high
definition.
The processor also acts as a central video
switching system – ideal, as the processor
is the perfect location for video source
selection to be carried out. If the switching is
in the projector, you need multiple cable runs
to it; if it’s in the surround-sound processor,
you risk degrading the audio quality with
digital video noise.
The DVP-2351 includes 12 video inputs –
2 composite, 2 S-Video, 2 component, 1
RGBHV and 4 HDMI – and 9 audio ins, 4
HDMI, 2 assignable coax and 2 assignable
optical digital ins, and an assignable
analogue pair.
The processor features output presets for
4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1 and custom, and Meridian’s
Schneider Cinemascope lens system is
directly supported. The processor offers
separate display and screen adjustments,
plus underscan adjustment to compensate
for display overscan where present.
The processor offers fully programmable
picture controls with separate non-volatile
memories for each input and input resolution.
An intuitive on-screen display is provided
and an easily-read 2-line x 20-character
front panel display. Ten display profiles are
provided plus output resolution, sync type,
colour space, frame lock and gamma output
settings. 35 test patterns are built-in.
Operation is via the front panel controls, IR
remote (discrete codes available) or RS232.
The DVP-2351 features a wide range of
features designed to deliver the very highest
quality from any input signal. Mosquito noise
reduction reduces noise that may appear at
the edges of compressed images, while fine
detail enhancement extracts the detail from
lower resolution sources. Edge enhancement
sharpens edge transitions in images without
adding ringing effects.
A precision 10-bit motion, edge and source-
adaptive deinterlacing system is employed
on 480i, 576i and 1080i sources, while
poor-quality external deinterlacing can be
undone and re-done to a much greater level
of precision. De-interlacing includes five-field
motion adaptive technology and edge-
adaptive technology for smooth diagonals.
The unit will lock to any cadence and
includes forced 2:2 for reliable PAL
deinterlacing, plus forced 3:2 mode for blue
laser formats to enable judder-free frame-
locked 24/48/72 Hz output. There are also
special low-latency gaming modes.
