14.2.7 High Definition Progressive Scan RGBHV (5 x
BNC, analogue)
A second RGB/BNC interface provides the highest potential
video quality from an analogue signal. RGBHV is a five channel
interface with separate horizontal and vertical timing signals
again selectable via the video setup menu. Connecting to a
display with each signal element carried separately reduces to
a minimum the necessity for downstream signal processing and
potentially provides another step up in video quality. RGBHV is
also compatible with “VGA” style monitors.
Note:
RGB progressive scan output is disabled when replaying
Macrovision encoded material.
14.2.8 Progressive Scan DVI (DVI multi-pin, Digital)
The DVI interface provides the greatest potential video quality.
DVI is a direct digital connection for digital displays (LCD, Plasma
etc) and analogue displays with internal digital to analogue
converters. With DVI and a digital display, no downstream
decoding or signal conversion is required so the display quality
potentially matches that inherent in the source material. The
DVI output is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
encrypted and only compatible with HDCP capable displays (the
majority of computer DVI displays are not HDCP capable). HDMI
(High Definition Multimedia Interface) compatible displays can be
used with the DVD5 via an adaptor cable.
