advanced control with AV32R(1)

The PSM192 has many advanced options which can be controlled via a TAGtronic connection between DVD32FLR and AV32R. These include individual black level (brightness), white level (contrast), colour and hue (NTSC only) picture settings for each video source. The picture settings may be applied automatically whenever the associated source is selected on the AV32R. The AV32R can also control the PSM192 to automatically select the PSM192 external composite or S-Video input when composite or S-video sources are selected on AV32R, two connections between the AV32R composite and S-video outputs and the PSM192 composite and S-video inputs then allow you to obtain progressively scanned output for all your video sources.

software upgrades distributed via the internet

One of the most flexible aspects of DVD32FLR is that the software is stored in re- programmable memory. The software can be upgraded using a PC connected via the TAGtronic Communication Bus.
