available. The HDMI standard also incorporates HDCP (High Definition Content Protection); a separate content-protection technology to prevent unauthorized distribution or duplication of copyrighted material.
5HDMI Outputs
The SSP-800 supports two HDMI outputs, labeled 1 and 2. The SSP- 800 HDMI outputs support HDMI V.1.3b featuring Deep Colour, x.v.Color(xvYCC), 1080p 24/50/60 fps, and provides a 2 channel SPDIF downmix of the source material.
Non-HDMI source material is encoded for an HDMI display at the source’s native video rate. HDMI input signals are NOT converted to analog format, and are only output via HDMI at the incoming resolution. When an analog video input signal is output via HDMI to the display, the video input is converted to digital format and output at its native rate. The two HDMI outputs are NOT independent.
NOTE: HDMI is an interactive format, which can occasionally cause format errors between the source devices and the output display. If you connect the SSP-800 HDMI outputs to two different displays, the HDMI source automatically provides a signal compatible for both displays. In some cases, this response can result in less-than-optimal resolutions for one or both displays.
6Component Video Output
The SSP-800 is equipped with component video output via 3 RCA connectors labeled Pr, Pb, and Y. Use this connection to connect to non- HDMI displays. The component output does not support output of 1080p signals.
NOTE: Due to HDCP licensing restrictions the component video output will not work with all source material input via HDMI. Depending on the material component output may be restricted to 480p.
7Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial
The SSP-800 supports four digital audio inputs, with SPDIF connectors labeled COAX1 to COAX4. These inputs accept PCM data streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer and that carry a 75Ω impedance rating. Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.
8Digital Audio Inputs - Optical
The SSP-800 supports four digital audio inputs, with optical TOSlinkTM connectors labeled OPT1 to OPT4. These inputs accept PCM data streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer. Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.
NOTE: The bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very much strained at a 192kHz sampling frequency. For that reason we recommend keeping the TOSlink™ connections at a maximum rate of 96kHz.
