progressive scan module PSM192

Your DVD32FLR may optionally be fitted with a video processing board, the Progressive Scan Module PSM192. PSM192 generates analog and digital progressively scanned video outputs from interlaced video inputs - that applies to the video signal from DVDs played by the DVD32FLR, of course, but the PSM192 also has external inputs to allow progressively scanned video output to be generated from all your composite and S-Video sources. The PSM192 is a de-interlacer, not just a line doubler, by which we mean it examines the incoming video fields and determines which fields can be recombined to produce an output with maximum vertical resolution. At the heart of the PSM192 is the Silicon Image Sil 504 de-interlacer, a highly sophisticated digital video processor, carrying out 6 billion operations per second. The Sil 504 uses advanced motion adaptive and source adaptive techniques to create an output image with maximum vertical resolution without introducing motion and interlacing artefacts.

PSM192 outputs

The PSM192 has a DVI 1.0 digital video output and a set of component analog outputs. The DVI output has its own connector on the rear panel of your player. The analog outputs are available on the player’s BNC component connections. The normal interlaced component video signals remain available on the RCA component connections.

configuring the PSM192 outputs

The outputs may be configured as component (YPbPr) or RGsB (i.e. RGB with sync on green). The output mode can be changed only when the player does not have a disc loaded. To change output mode, first remove any disc that is loaded, close the tray, and wait for the “no disc” message to appear. To select component press the number keys corresponding to the letters COM, i.e. 2, 6, 6 on the system remote. To select RGB press the number keys corresponding to the letters RGB, i.e. 7, 4, 2.

PSM192 inputs

The PSM192, installed in a DVD32FLR, provides external composite and S-Video inputs via the upper composite and S-Video connectors on the player‘s rear panel. It also has an internal connection to the DVD video output. For best quality the DVD32FLR should be configured for component output.
