DVD Standard DVD Player
Great home theater starts with a great
source component. And in a marketplace
inundated by unremarkable DVD players,
the Krell DVD Standard has emerged as
an industry reference—a true high-end
home theater source component.
The DVD Standard is the world’s first
standalone DVD player to incorporate
Faroudja Laboratories’ newest high-perfor-
mance digital video chipset. Faroudja’s
patented digital signal processing technol-
ogy delivers unprecedented image detail
and sharpness. The DVD Standard also
implements Faroudja’s award-winning de-
interlacing and line-doubling algorithms to
provide the highest-quality progressive-
scan video output.
Video output is optimized for the latest solid-
state video display technologies, including
plasma, LCD, DLP, and DILA. The progres-
sive-scan output employs triple 10-bit DACs
and provides both RGB and component
interfaces.
Both Toslink and coaxial digital audio outputs
are provided. A component output, featuring
2X oversampling and a 10-bit DAC, is provid-
ed for interlaced-scan video output, as are
standard composite and S-video outputs.
An advanced transport ensures compatibility with
a wide range of media, including single- and dual-
layer DVD, video CD, and audio CD/CD-R.
24-bit/192kHz ultra-high-resolution digital-to-ana-
log converters (DACs) assure superb audio perfor-
mance. The converters feature a differential cur-
rent output configuration to provide an ideal
interface with the renowned Krell Current Mode,™
discrete Class A, direct-coupled, fully complemen-
tary analog output circuitry.
The Krell DVD Standard is
uncompromisingly engineered
to deliver the highest-quality
video and audio source signal
possible… for today’s high-end
home theater systems and
those of the future. The play-
er’s firmware can be simply
upgraded via the disc drive,
making the DVD Standard
immune to obsolescence.
The crucial final stage that delivers the video signal to
the display device comprises professional-grade circuit-
ry. It is classic Krell output stage technology applied to
the video domain—robust, uncompromised circuitry
delivering the most vivid and detailed picture available
from the DVD platform.
