MOON Orion DVD Transport / Player Updated: August 2, 2005    

 

Also available with silver faceplate
 
 

 
Offering extreme flexibility, the MOON Orion can be purchased as either a DVD Transport or a DVD Player, the latter including optional high quality analog audio outputs. To further enhance this modular concept, an optional progressive scan line doubler circuit using Faroudja's DCDi™ (Diagonal Correlation Deinterlacing) technology, is also available. Either or both of these options can be purchased with the transport or as an upgrade. By applying the same non-compromising design approach found in the more expensive Stellar DVD Player, the MOON Orion represents true state-of-the-art video performance with many of the same user-friendly features and functions.
 
 


 
 
  Significant Design Features:
 
· A hybrid analog / switch-mode power supply, with completely separate, fully regulated supplies for
  the drive mechanism, digital circuits and analog circuits. (7 stages of regulation in total)
· An integral shield for the Switch-Mode Power supply, ensuring no high frequency noise will interfere
  with either the audio or video signals
· Rack-mount-ready faceplate with removeable aluminum cheeks covering the holes when not in use

· 10-bit/54MHz oversampled video with active current-to-voltage converter and phase accurate
  analog filtering

  filter for 2 channel analog audio output

· A complete array of different video output connections
· "Parental Control" setting to allow authorized access to specific DVD-Video discs
· FTS (Favorite Track Selection) programming to customize the playback of individual audio CD's by
  allowing you to include or exclude specific tracks
