of the pictures reproduced by the D80 in the two cases: the
deinterlacing performed by the D80 is often more effective
than that performed by the source itself.
GRAPHICS RGB
This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic
signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector.
The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game
console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or
composite H+V synchronisation.
HDMI™
HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an
uncompressed high definition video signal with a multichannel
audio signal and allows exchange of control data between the
video source and the D80.
The HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to
protect their contents.
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI input,
internal processing by the D80 separates the video information
from the audio information. The audio information is made
available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector
in compliance with the S/PDIF standard.
You can use a DVI-D > HDMI adapter cable to connect the
DVI-D signal from a source equipped with a DVI-D output.
COMPOSITE VIDEO
Fit an RCA connector with a Composite Video (CVBS) signal
to this input.
The output connector on the external appliance is normally
coloured yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO.
Other signal and socket formats may be preferable (because
they give better image quality), but this type of output socket is
still the most commonly used, and nearly all television receivers,
video recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. use it.
S-VIDEO
Fit a mini-DIN connector with an S-Video signal to this input.
The corresponding output at the external device is normally
identifiable by the labels S-VIDEO or Y/C.
This type is nearly as common as Composite Video, and is
preferable to the latter, since it gives higher image quality.
RGB/YPrPb
These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors.
RGB and Component signals can be applied to each set of
connectors.
RGB signals can have composite synchronisation on the green
signal (RGsB), or on the HV signal.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R,
G, B inputs of the D80 (taking care not to invert the positions)
and any synchronisation signals to the HV.
When hooking up, use the colours of the RCA connectors as
an aid as follows: the R connector is red, G is green, B is blue
and HV is white.
You can use a SCART to RCA adapter cable to connect the
RGB signal from a source equipped with a SCART output to
this input.
The Component signals connect to the Y, Pr and Pb inputs:
take care that the inputs correspond to the outputs on the
source device.
Since these can be labelled differently, refer to Table 1 to
establish the correspondence between the various signals. As
indicated in the table, the colours of the connectors can also
be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video
resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressive
scanning) can be applied to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced
signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter-
laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality
