As home theater technology advances, the role of the Scaler Box has evolved as an integral component in the home theater. The HD3000 provides the best in source content switching, image de-interlacing, image scaling, and color management ­ all in one easy to use package! Optoma designed the HD3000 to be the center of you home theater entertainment center. By extensively using HDMI connections as well as a number of other industry standard inputs, all content sources are easily routed through the HD3000. With unparalleled scaling and image de-interlacing, the HD3000 goes well beyond the scope of other traditional scaler boxes. Each video source can be fine tuned to provide the best combination for your viewing enjoyment. Features Highlights · Complete 10-bit video processing (decoding, de-interlacing, scaling, image enhancement and color management) · Gennum GF9350 VXP video processor chip · Studio-grade 480i/576i Standard Definition deinterlacing and 1080i High Definition deinterlacing · Optimized scaling for each input/output resolution pairing · Dedicated color management chipset · 3--HDMI input, 4--Components input (2--RCA and 2--BNC), 3--S-Video and 3 Composite inputs · Unique HDMI switching that outputs HDMI audio to HDMI-capable A/V receiver · Front panel inputs for camcorder, portable computer and other video sources · Advanced video enhancement engines including: Vivid Color Engine ­ Provides RGBCYM saturation/hue enhancement for 9 regions ndependently for each color Edge Sharpening Engine ­ Advanced user-definable, boundary-limiting function maximizes edge enhancement Auto Contrast Engine ­ Scene-dependent black and white enhancement for greater picture contrast Adaptive Noise Reduction Engine ­ Scene-specific noise reduction removes unwanted image noise without affecting detail or sharpness Image Gamma Engine ­ Users can define their own gamma curve in 9 regions HD3000 User's Guide 4 Professional Video Scaler and Color Management System HD3000 User's Guide Recommendations To unleash the power of the HD3000, it is best to input video content in its original form without any processing. This will utilize the full capabilities of the HD3000 for de-interlacing, scaling and image enhancement. As an example, if a user has an HDMI DVD player capable of outputting the video signal in a 480i/576i digital format, we recommend feeding it directly to the HD3000 without any processing by the DVD player. This will provide the HD3000 with the original digital video stream and allow the HD3000 to fully unleash its studio grade video processing. In general, we recommend the following: · · · · · If possible, use digital output (DVD, D-VHS, DTV setup box, etc). If there is no digital output, use the component output terminals (YPbPr) with short and high-quality components cables. If you are unsure of the quality of the internal de-interlacing or scaler of your video source, let HD3000 do the processing by connecting to the interlaced component output. If possible, leave out any extra video processing in your video source (DVD, D-VHS, and HDTV STB). Some HDTV STB models have scaling conversion that will output 1080i from a 720p format. Try to output 1080i in its native signal format and let HD3000 perform deinterlacing and scaling. Not all HDMI DVD players have a digital interlaced output (480i/576i). For these products, it is suggested that users try 480p/576p first, followed by 720p and 1080i. After viewing the full range of output resolutions, the user can then judge which is the best image quality and set the HD3000 for that resolution. Many high-end analog output DVD players also come with high quality DAC with 12 or 14 bits of processing. Again, the users should try setting their 480i/576i output to HD3000 first. HD3000 has BNC connectors for component video input. If the user plans to use analog component to connect to their video source, for the best image quality, it is recommend using the BNC connectors. For connecting to Laser Disc player or S-VHS deck, we suggest to use S-video output connection to connect to HD3000. It is best to have a separate power outlet for audio and video equipment. · · · · HD3000 User's Guide 5 Professional Video Scaler and Color Management System HD3000 User's Guide Supplied Components The product ships standard with the accessories & items shown below.
