Krell HEAT

The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design applica- tion incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an integrated home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell preamp/ processor and matching amplifiers that reproduce two channel and multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the audience in the middle of a lifelike environment.

HDMI™

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a digital connection standard designed to provide the highest possible uncompressed video and audio quality over a single cable and connector.

Composite Video

An encoded video signal that transmits luminance (Y) and color (C) information on one wire.

S-Video

Video signal that separately transmits the luminance (Y) and color (C) components of the video signal using one wire.

Component Video

A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals. Component video signals may be interlaced or progressive.

Progressive signals build screen content in one pass rather than the two passes required for standard (interlaced) video. Progressive technology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality pic- tures. Both your source and video monitor must be equipped with progressive video technology to realize this advantage.

YPbPr

One way of designating color difference signals, in which:

Y =

the luminance signal

Pb =

blue minus luminance (B-Y) signal

Pr =

red minus luminance (R-Y) signal
