available. Th e HDMI standard also incorporates HDCP (High Defi nition
Content Protection); a separate content-protection technology to prevent
unauthorized distribution or duplication of copyrighted material.
5 HDMI Outputs
Th e SSP-800 supports two HDMI outputs, labeled 1 and 2. Th e SSP-
800 HDMI outputs support HDMI V.1.3b featuring Deep Colour,
x.v.Color(xvYCC), 1080p 24/50/60 fps, and provides a 2 channel SPDIF
downmix of the source material.
Non-HDMI source material is encoded for an HDMI display at the
source’s native video rate. HDMI input signals are NOT converted to
analog format, and are only output via HDMI at the incoming resolution.
When an analog video input signal is output via HDMI to the display, the
video input is converted to digital format and output at its native rate. Th
e
two HDMI outputs are NOT independent.
NOTE: HDMI is an interactive format, which can occasionally
cause format errors between the source devices and the output
display. If you connect the SSP-800 HDMI outputs to two
diff erent displays, the HDMI source automatically provides a signal
compatible for both displays. In some cases, this response can result
in less-than-optimal resolutions for one or both displays.
6 Component Video Output
Th e SSP-800 is equipped with component video output via 3 RCA
connectors labeled Pr, Pb, and Y. Use this connection to connect to non-
HDMI displays. Th
e component output does not support output of 1080p
signals.
NOTE: Due to HDCP licensing restrictions the component video
output will not work with all source material input via HDMI.
Depending on the material component output may be restricted to
480p.
7 Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial
Th
e SSP-800 supports four digital audio inputs, with SPDIF connectors
labeled COAX1 to COAX4. Th ese inputs accept PCM data streams up to
24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using
cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer and that carry a
75Ω impedance rating. Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable
selections.
8 Digital Audio Inputs - Optical
Th
e SSP-800 supports four digital audio inputs, with optical TOSlink TM
connectors labeled OPT1 to OPT4. Th ese inputs accept PCM data
streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We
recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer.
Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.
NOTE: Th e bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very
much strained at a 192kHz sampling frequency. For that reason we
recommend keeping the TOSlink™ connections at a maximum rate
of 96kHz.
