The leading edge in music & film reproduction
Page 2
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.
Dual toroidal transformer power supply dedicated to digital (SDI, DVI, D/A) and analog (audio & video) circuitry • Ultra-fast switch-mode power supply
for controller circuitry and drive mechanism, housed in an integral shield to prevent any degrading noise leakage • Up to 16 stages of voltage
regulation depending on installed options • Professional-grade BNC progressive component video outputs • Interlaced RCA component, S-Video and
RCA composite video outputs • Optional 2 channel analog stage and audiophile-grade 24-bit/192kHz D/A converter with 8X oversampling digital filter
• Professional-grade 75-ohm BNC S/PDIF digital audio output and TosLink digital output • Ultra-rigid chassis construction to eliminate noise caused by
vibration • "Rack mount ready" faceplate with removeable aluminum cheeks to cover the holes when not in use • Philips SD3 High-performance
transport mechanism with dual-laser pickup • 10-bit/54MHz oversampled video with active current-to-voltage converter and phase accurate analog
filtering • Full function bi-directional RS-232 port control and status for custom integration or automation • Support for both NTSC and PAL video
formats • SRS Labs TruSurround™ 3D surround DSP effects for optional analog audio outputs • "Parental Control" setting to allow authorized access to
specific DVD-Video discs • FTS (Favorite Track Selection) programming to customize the playback of individual DVD-Videos and audio CD's • Accurate
matching of the highest quality electronic components • Very short signal paths to maintain the integrity of audio and video information • Pure copper
circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics • Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance • Low
operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
