Meridian Audio 810 - Manual (Page 4)

The 810 scaler includes a new class
of adaptive video format conversion
technologies, accepting video resolutions
from 480i to 1080p, 24–60 frames per
second.
Incorporated in the technology is a
complete set of noise and artefact
reduction technologies. Per-pixel noise and
compression artefact reduction removes
noise typically inherent in digital video, while
per-pixel motion-adaptive 3-D de-interlacing
removes jaggies and eliminates feathering.
Marvell’s Adaptive Contrast Enhancement
(ACE) and Intelligent Color Remapping (ICR)
render rich and vivid images, optimising
texture, detail, edges, contrast and colour,
providing a consistent, immersive viewing
experience for all types of content.
Projector and scaler are operated as a
single system. Serial data commands
flow between the two units to select the
appropriate projection and image processing
parameters at both ends of the chain, so that
the image will always be at its best, whether
it is receiving it from DVD, HDTV, Blu-ray
Disc or alternative sources. The projector is
also configured from the scaler interface,
which includes a built-in configuration web
server, accessed via the scaler’s Ethernet
connection.
The scaler accepts both HDMI and DVI
inputs and delivers a quad DVI path to
the projector. In addition the unit features
Meridian comms for full integration with a
Meridian Digital Theatre system, RS232
and USB maintenance ports for firmware
upgrades (the latter allowing an update to be
loaded via a memory stick) and an RS232
connection to the projector.
The scaler is a rack-mounting unit in the
same style as Meridian’s existing C Series of
installation products and includes a vacuum
fluorescent front-panel display with soft
buttons that can be used to operate and
configure the unit. Modelled on Meridian’s
successful G Series user interface, the
display labels the buttons according to
context.
Complete projection systems
The Meridian 810 Reference Video System
is available as a package consisting of
both projector and scaler, which will not be
available separately. Four different packages
are offered, featuring lens systems with
differing throw lengths. Short, Medium and
Long-Throw packages include a special
motorized 2.35:1 (Cinemascope®) lens
assembly, while a Very Short Throw package,
designed for back-projection and simulator
applications, will also be available.
See separate sheets for dimensioned
drawings and RS232 communications codes.
