Classe Audio SSP-800/CT-SSP Hdmi Outputs, Component Video Output, Digital Audio Inputs Coaxial

4HDMI Outputs

The SSP supports two HDMI outputs, labeled 1 and 2. The

SSP HDMI outputs support HDMI v1.4a featuring 2D and standard 3D video formats at resolutions up to 1080p @ 24/50/60 fps, Audio Return Channel (ARC), HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC), Deep Colour, x.v.Color(xvYCC) 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. By HDCP license agreement, HDMI input signals can NOT be 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 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.

5Component Video Output

The SSP 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 most source material input via HDMI.

6Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial

The SSP 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 192 kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer and that carry a

75 Ω impedance rating. Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.

7Digital Audio Inputs - Optical

The SSP 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 192 kHz 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 192 kHz sampling frequency. For that reason we recommend keeping the TOSlink™ connections at a maximum rate of 96 kHz.
