■ PureProgressive Circuit
The DVD-2800 is the first DVD video player to support Silicon Image's
Progressive Converter, capable of the highest standard of I/P conversion in
the industry.
High-speed processing: This Progressive Converter is capable of
processing 6 billion operations per second, giving reality to the following
high performance.
Moving picture detection: Since PureProgressive is also adept at 2:3
pulldown detection, which converts Film recording mode to TV/Video play-
back mode, and detecting Video mode signals of DVD-Video and other
moving picture formats, PureProgressive is capable of reproducing DVD-
Video discs containing both Film mode and Video mode signals, as well as
high picture quality Progressive video sources, while avoiding the flickering
caused by detection delays. In detecting moving video signals, the con-
ventional Progressive method performs detection in single frame units,
while PureProgressive stores 4 fields of video signals in a 64-Mbit
SDRAM buffer, enabling the detection of single-pixel units to achieve
greater precision in discriminating between moving and still pictures.
2:3 pulldown detection: In 2:3 pulldown processing which converts
24-fps Film mode into 60-fps TV/Video mode, there are cases in which
2:3 pulldown sync signals are not in sync. The PureProgressive converter
thus quickly detects the non-sequential points and performs appropriate
corrective measures at high speed to minimize picture flickering.
■ Highest resolution Analog Devices 54-MHz,12-bit, 4:4:4 Video D/A
Conversion System
The DVD-2800 employs a 54-MHz, 12-bit video D/A converter. This
video D/A converter performs on Progressive form, and by processing the
Y signal and Pb/Pr signals at resolutions of 12 and 11 bits, respectively,
PureProgressive is able to faithfully reproduce extremely low-level signals,
delivering a delicate yet clear video image.
■ Super Sub Alias Filter
The DVD-2800 uses a Super Sub Alias Filter for the digital filter to
optimize picture quality. This filter achieves attenuation characteristics
of -3 dB in the ultra-high frequency band when the horizontal image is
6.25 MHz. Even at 8.25 MHz, the apparent outer limit of DVD-Video,
the attentuation characteristic secured is above -60 dB, ensuring an
ultra-high picture quality with superior horizontal line resolution.
■ High-performance Output Signal Switching Relay
The DVD-2800 is equipped with 1 set of Component video outputs for
both Progressive signal (Y, Pb, Pr) and Interlaced signal (Y, Cb, Cr) out-
put. Wideband relay switching is employed when switching between
Progressive and Interlaced Output, for optimum picture quality in either
mode.
The DVD-2800 is endowed with PureProgressive technology to unleash the full impact of DVD-Video picture quality. This DVD
video player from DENON is the first to use the Progressive Converter developed by Silicon Image, Inc., ensuring greater accuracy
and speed in I/P conversion. The DVD-2800 also uses a 54-MHz, 12-bit video D/A converter to faithfully preserve the delicate
low-level signals during D/A conversion. With these advanced video image technologies, the DVD-2800 is able to reproduce
high-quality pictures on Progressive-compliant monitors and projectors. The audio circuitry masterfully complements the superior
picture quality with its 96-kHz, 24-bit D/A converter, HDCD decoder, and parts strictly selected for high sound quality, providing
you with stunning sonic transparency and power.
