TECHNOLOGY

Krell Current Mode

 

A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a

 

component operate in the current rather than the voltage domain.

 

This unique technology provides the component with exceptional

 

speed and a wide bandwidth.

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 chan- nel and multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the audience in the middle of a lifelike environment.

VIDEO

Component Video Signal

 

A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), blue

 

minus luminance (B-Y), and red minus luminance (R-Y) signals.

 

Component video signals may be interlaced or progressive:

 

Interlaced signals build screen content in two passes.

 

Progressive signals build screen content in one pass. This

 

technology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality

 

pictures. Both your source and video monitor must be equipped

 

with progressive video technology to realize this advantage.

 

S-Video Signal

 

Video signal that separately transmits the luminance (Y) and color

 

(C) components of the video signal using one wire. The s-video sig-

 

nals bypass television circuitry required by composite video, and

 

reduces video noise as well as cross-contamination of color and

 

black and white signals.

 

Composite Video Signal

 

An encoded video signal that transmits luminance (Y) and color (C)

 

information on one wire.

 

YCbCr (YPbPr)

 

One way to designate different color signals used in component

 

video. Y = the luminance signal, Cb = the blue minus luminance (B-

 

Y) signal, and Cr = the red minus luminance (R-Y) signal. The com-

 

ponent video color signals are also designated as YPbPr.
