MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player

Progressive / Digital Video Connections

There are three ways to connect the MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player to your video equipment using progressive or digital connections.

For better image quality, we suggest that you connect your Calypso directly to your TV or video projection unit. Certain home theater installations use a video switcher that often leads to some degradation of video signal quality. In these situations, we recommend that you use the switcher for all your video connections with the exception of the Calypso DVD Transport / Player, connecting both the video switcher and the Calypso directly to your TV’s or video projection unit’s separate inputs.

Also, each output is independently buffered so can you use more than one output at the same time if ever your setup requires such a connection.

D) Progressive components (480p YPBPR)

This is the best analog video connection and is compatible with most plasma, LCD, LCoS, D-ILA, DLP, and HDTV

televisions. Connect the three outputs labeled Y, P and P to the corresponding inputs on your television with

BR

component video cables. Don’t hesitate to use high quality video cables. Lesser quality cables can degrade the video quality. IMPORTANT: In the event hat you wish to use the MOON Calypso’s progressive scan video outputs, your television must have a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan rate and a 480p progressive video input.

E) DVI - Digital Video Interface (optional)

This digital video connection works best with digital video products such as those using plasma, LCD, LCoS, D-ILA, DLP, HDTV technology. Output is 480p and a DVI digital video cable is required. This cable should not exceed 3 meters in length.

F) SDI - Serial Digital Interface

This digital video connection offers the possibility of having a very long run of cable without any quality degradation, up to more than one hundred feet. If your video equipment does not have an SDI input, you must use a video processor that can convert the SDI signal to a format your television can process. Output is 480i and a good quality 75 ohm cable, terminated at both ends with BNC connectors, is required
