MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player

Standard Video Connections

There are three ways to connect the MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player to your video equipment using standard video connections. They are presented here in order of increasing quality. Remember that whatever connection type you decide to use, don’t hesitate to use high quality video cables. Lesser quality cables can degrade the video quality.

For better image quality, we suggest that you connect your Calypso directly to your TV or video projection unit. Certain home theater installations use a video switcher that often leads to some degradation of video signal quality. In these situations, we recommend that you use the switcher for all your video connections with the exception of the Calypso DVD Transport / Player, connecting both the video switcher and the Calypso directly to your TV’s or video projection unit’s separate inputs.

Also, each output is independently buffered so can you use more than one output at the same time if ever your setup requires such a connection.

A) Composite (CVBS)

This is the most common video connection. Nevertheless, you should use it only in the event that neither of the following two connections are available on your TV/video projection unit, as it provides the lowest video quality of those offered on the Calypso.

B) S-Video (Y/C)

This connection offers high quality video reproduction and the advantage of using only one (1) video cable (S- Video type with a mini-DIN connector). It is a compromise between video image quality and the number of cables used.

C) Component Interlaced (YPBPR)

This connection offers the highest possible video reproduction quality with interlaced video equipment (i.e. non-

Progressive Scan) and uses three RCA connectors. Connect the three outputs labeled Y, P and P to the

BR

corresponding inputs on your TV or video projection unit with component video cables.
