TEATRO 80 - M80
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 on the external device is normally
identified 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 (3) connectors and 5 BNC
(4) connectors. RGB and Component signals can be applied
to each set of connectors.
If you use the RGB inputs you can select YPrPb video mode.
The RGB signals may have composite synchronisation on
the green signal (RGsB), composite synchronisation on the
HV signal and separate synchronisation on the H and V
signals via BNC connectors. Connect the R, G, B outputs of
the source to the respective R, G, B inputs of the TEATRO
80 - M80 (taking care not to invert the positions) and any
synchronisation signals to the HV. With regard to the 3 sets
of RCA connectors, 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 match the outputs on the source
device. As indicated in the table, the colours of the connec-
tors can also be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard
video resolution) or 32 kHz or higher (high definition video,
with progressive scanning, high definition video) can be
applied to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than inter-
laced signals, but if the source features both progressive and
de-interlaced signal outputs it is good practice to compare
the quality of the pictures reproduced by the TEATRO 80 -
M80 in the two cases: the de-interlacing performed by the
TEATRO 80 - M80 is often more effective than that performed
by the sources themselves.
GRAPHICS RGB / YPRPB
This input should be connected to an RGB/YPrPb type video
or graphic signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connec-
tor. 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.
DVI-D
This input permits you to make the best use of digital image
quality. If your source has a DVI-D output (with YPrPb or
RGB signal), connect it to this input to get the most out of
the TEATRO 80 - M80 system.
HDMI™
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an un-
compressed high definition video signal with a multi-channel
audio signal and allows exchange of control data between
the video source and the TEATRO 80 - M80.
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 TEATRO 80 - M80 separates
the video information from the audio information.
You can use a DVI-D > HDMI adapter cable to connect the
DVI-D signal from a source equipped with a DVI-D output.
SDI
The HDSDI/SDI input permits you to connect sources with
serial digital outputs in YPrPb components in compliance
with the SMPTE292M (high definition) and SMPTE259M-C
(standard definition) standards. The signal, of the uncom-
pressed type, is transmitted digitally by single coaxial cable,
thus guaranteeing a high level of resistance to noise and
disturbance.
