Denon dvd-2930ci Specification Guide

■ Latest I/P converter from Silicon Optix, Inc.

The DVD-2930CI uses the latest 10-bit I/P converter “REON-VX” developed
through a joint development effort that merged image processing algorithms of
Silicon Optix, Inc., and Denon video technology on the foundation of an image
processing device. This 10-bit processing offers high conversion performance
and dramatically improves motion detection capability.
Multi-Directional Diagonal Filter (MDDF) technology, used
for the first time in the DVD-2930CI, which accurately
detects and corrects the directionality of lines on a per-
pixel level to avoid "jaggies" that easily appear when video
sources are I/P converted, ensuring smooth picture play-
back.

■ Denon Pixel Image Correction, for more natural contour correction

The Denon Pixel Image Correction feature that incorporates original Denon
enhancement technology and makes high-definition video correction possible,
has been advanced to even greater heights in the DVD-2930CI. Denon Pixel
Image Correction performs detection and correction through 10-bit processing to
significantly improve contour correction. This new contour correction circuit uses
enhancement processing technology that also considers the influence of pixels
surrounding the target pixels. It uses new algorithms to sample and analyze a
total of 9 pixels of video data around, and including, each target pixel. Video
images are detected and processed in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions
at a highly detailed per-pixel level to produce contours that are visually more nat-
ural and processed to suppress ringing noise and other artifacts that easily occur
during enhancement. By performing the type of processing that is most effective
for the current video image, the picture is free of degradation and appears more
natural.

■ High-performance video scaler capable of 1080p output for HDMI

“REON-VX” also works as the high-performance video scaler in the DVD2930CI.
This high-precision 10-bit scaler works with HDMI digital video output signals. This
scaler executes optimum conversion to suit the output to the independent HDMI
transmitters. Users can enjoy the best picture quality for their particular applica-
tions. Also this scaler can output PC resolution VGA/XGA/WXGA and SXGA.

■ Dual Discrete Video Circuit (DDVC)

The DVD-2930CI's video circuit features Denon's own DDVC technology
designed to enhance the quality of video signals. The use of dedicated circuits
– one independent block for composite and S-video signals, another block for
component signals, and a dual DAC configuration with built-in video encoder –
has made it possible to reproduce detailed video images with greater precision. In
order to bring out the maximum quality from both video and audio signals, the
DVD-2930CI has a discrete configuration in which the video, audio, and digital
blocks that comprise this universal player are all completely isolated from each
another in terms of their circuit configuration, boards, and power supplies. Denon
engineers have used the expertise gained from their development of earlier universal
players to design a configuration that thoroughly suppresses mutual interference
among the circuits and prevents noise from affecting the video and audio signals.

■ High-speed, high-precision 12-bit 216-MHz video DAC

To ensure that high-grade video signals from the latest high-performance I/P con-
verter are reproduced with utmost fidelity to the original images, the DVD-2930CI
has an extremely fast and accurate 12-bit, 216-MHz video DAC. Oversampling of
8x for Progressive and 16x for Interlaced signals results in sharp, detailed pic-
tures. Composite, S-video and component signals each have their own dedicated
video DAC, a design that enhances the reproduction of low-level video signals
and reproduces high-definition images that are faithful to the original. In addition,
Noise Shaped Video (NSV) technology is used to improve the S/N of video signals
and further boost their linearity.

■ Supports fine picture quality adjustments

Besides the DPIC feature, a total of 15 picture quality adjustments are possible,
including contrast, sharpness, white level, chroma level, noise reduction settings,
and gamma. Up to five combinations of settings can also be stored in memory,
giving the user freedom to adjust picture quality in considerable detail according
to individual preferences.

■ Custom Integrated

*1) Version 1.1 compliant. HDMI audio output capacity is dependent on the monitor being used.
*2) HDMI output is HDCP compliant. Video cannot be viewed if connected to a monitor that does not support HDCP;
video can be viewed only on HDCP-compliant monitors.
*3) HDMI 1080p output is 50/60 Hz refresh rate only.
