Meridian Audio DVP1500 manual Connecting Hdtv Satellite Receivers

INSTALLATION

7.DVI Output: Digital output interface for compatable displays. All processed analog and digital inputs are output to this connector as well as computer scan rates when the pass-throught input is selected. Maximum cable length is 50ft with a high quality DVI cable. For longer lengths a distribution system or fiber optic system must be used.

8.BNC connectors for main output with RGBHV or YPrPb signals to display devices. Cable runs up to 100ft are okay if good quality cables

are used. For YPrPb outputs use:

Red =	Pr
Green =	Y
Blue =	Pb

RGBHV is recommended.

Note: If Computer signals are to be used, separate H & V sync cables must be connected to the display.

9.IR receiver connection allows for use with external IR receivers so unit can be installed behind walls. (3.5mm, 3 pin, Tip = +5 - +12V Pulse, Sleave = Gnd)

10.12V trigger to activate automatic screen relays. Voltage is constant when unit power is on. (12V @ 100mA Max. 3.5mm 2 pin connector, Tip = +12V, Sleave = Gnd)

11.RS232 D9F connection for use with RS232 control systems. This connection also allows for firmware upgrades to the DVP1500.

12.AC Power connection.

13.Digital audio connections from internal DVD drive.

Note: The DVI or analog RGBHV outputs cannot be active at the same time. Select the output type in the Setup menu prior to use of the processor.

The following diagram offers one way to connect the system.

Display

With this hookup viewing the different sources is as follows:

SOURCE	USE THIS	USE THIS DVP1500
	DVP1500 INPUT	OUTPUT
Non-HDTV Channels	S-Video	RGBHV or DVI
Native HDTV Channels	DVI	DVI
Native HDTV Channels	YPrPb	RGBHV
Native HDTV Channels	YPrPb	RGBHV
with HDCP Encription

Note: The DVP1500 pass-through input will “pass ” the input signal to the output stage in the same format as the input signal, i.e. analog HDTV in – analog HDTV out, DVI HDTV in – DVI HDTV out.

The HDTV signal cannot be converted from analog to digital or digital to analog. Also, HDTV signals with HDCP encription will not pass through the DVP1500. Simply switch to the analog YPrPb output of the satellite receiver and switch the DVP1500 output to analog RGBHV to view the signal.

Connecting HDTV Satellite Receivers

Since HDTV ready satellite receivers offer different signal types, they require special attention for connection to the processor. Every receiver is different so be sure to consult the receivers manual for details. For this manual, we will assume the receiver being used operates as follows:

1. Non HDTV material is output from the receiver via an S-video connection

2. HDTV material is output via YPrPb outputs

3. If available, HDTV material is also output via a DVI connector.

HDTV Cross-Conversion

The DVP1500 can cross-convert 480p,1080i and 720p HDTV signals to the selected output of the processor. Any HDTV signal connected to the YPrPb BNC or DVI inputs will be cross-converted. Any HDTV or PC signal connected to the D15 input will be passed-through without processing. PC signals via the DVI input will be sent to the pass-through.
