MOON A/V SERIES
Updated: August 2, 2005
Orion DVD Transport/Player
|
|
|
Also available with silver faceplate
|
|
|
Offering extreme flexibility, the 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
DCDiä (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 Orion represents true state-of-the-art video performance with many of the
same user-friendly features and functions.

the audio or video signals ·
"Rack mount ready" faceplate with removeable aluminum cheeks to cover the holes when not in use ·
Full function bi-directional RS-232 port control and status for custom integration or automation ·
10-bit/54MHz oversampled video with active current-to-voltage converter and phase accurate
analog filtering ·
Support for both NTSC and PAL video formats ·
Optional audiophile-grade 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter with 8X oversampling digital filter for
2 channel analog audio output ·
SRS Labs TruSurroundä 3D surround DSP effects for optional analog audio outputs ·
