Progressive Scan (Noninterlaced) Video Outputs

Note

IMPORTANT

The DVD Standard supports progressive scan (480p) video signals. Progressive scan builds video screen content in one pass (as opposed to two passes for nonprogressive or interlaced video), thus providing better quality picture. Progressive video can also be con- nected to a computer monitor.

The following table details the different progressive video signals, connectors, labels, and formats supported by the DVD Standard.

To use the progressive scan video outputs on the DVD Standard, the tele- vision or video monitor must have a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan rate and a progressive or 480p video input.

Video	Type of	Most Commonly	Format
Signal	Connector	Labeled As	Standard
RGB	BNC	RGB video,	NTSC or PAL
		sync on green
RGB, HSYNC,	BNC	RGB video,	NTSC or PAL
VSYNC		component sync
VGA	Computer-type	VGA, computer,	NTSC or PAL
	VGA connector	PC, DB-15
	(DB-15)
Component	RCA	Component video,	NTSC or PAL
(YPbPr)		YPbPr, YCbCr,
		480p,
		progressive

All of the progressive video outputs should be of comparable quality. Multiple formats are provided for compatibility with various televi- sions, monitors, and projectors. The DVD Standard has maximum progressive scan flexibility. You can send a progressive signal to any of the three connectors. For example, if the RGB/YPbPr switch is set to RGB, then the RGB, YPbPr, and DB-15 outputs will all output RGB signals.

The RGB/YPbPr switch is active only when the DVD Standard is in the stand-by mode. Changing the switch position while the component is in the operational mode will not change the video output format.

See Back Panel Description, on page 15, for more information about progressive scan video outputs.
