M O O N Calypso DVD Transport / Player

The leading edge in music & film reproduction

Like its predecessors, the MOON Calypso offers extreme flexibility; It can
be purchased as either a DVD Transport or a DVD Player, the latter
including an optional audiophile-grade D/A converter and analog audio
stage. To further enhance this modular concept, an optional DVI-D
output circuit is available for the best possible video signal. Either or both
of these options can be purchased with the transport or as an upgrade.

Both a 480p progressive scan line doubler circuit (NTSC Only) using
Faroudja's DCDi™ (Diagonal Correlation Deinterlacing) technology and
a Serial Digital Interface (SDI) video output are included as a standard
features. Housed in an attractive and rigid chassis with multiple
massive power supplies, the Calypso is a DVD Transport/Player
that represents true state-of-the-art video and audio performance.
