referred to as SVHS.

5 Composite - the most common and lowest performing video connection.

TIPS: It is recommended that you try to bypass any internal processing in your source by choosing the output signal that matches the media type. For example, choose the interlaced output from your DVD player or standard definition set-top-box instead of the progressive (e.g. 480i instead of 480p). This leaves the conversion from interlaced video to progressive video to be performed by Crystalio II, which has sophisticated processing dedicated to this task.

3.4VIDEO OUTPUTS

For maximum performance you should use the digital connection where possible.

The reason for this is that the display of a digital device (for example a plasma panel, TFT monitor or LCD/LCOS/DLP projector) is built up of a grid of a fixed number of elements or pixels, which are all directly and individually controlled by the internal digital electronics of the display. Using the HDMI interface of the display allows these individual pixels to be directly controlled by Crystalio II, bypassing the internal picture processing electronics of the display device, and thereby producing more detailed and accurate images.

When deciding on which output to use from Crystalio II, use the following list as a guideline (highest quality first):

1 HDMI (a direct digital connection from Crystalio II to the display device).

2RGBHV/RGBS.

3Component video.

Some digital displays may not accept their native resolution via HDMI. In these cases better results may be possible using the display’s VGA or computer RGBHV input. This may allow 1:1 pixel mapping to be achieved (See Section 4.6.1).
