A. Connecting the Processor to the Display
A.1. Which output scanrate should I choose for my display?
The appropriate output scanrate selection is usually determined by the actual native pixel density of a digital display device, or the physical CRT size of an analog display device (7”, 8” or 9” CRT).
Each display device will specify their individual video/computer input capabilities. All display devices will list their specific video/computer input specifications within the User’s Manual, and are typically located within a
“Table of Supported Resolutions”, or under similar nomenclature.
The following represent basic examples for possible output scanrate selections:
Display Type Plasma TV Digital Projector CRT Projection CRT Rear Screen
Display Resolution 1366 x 768 1280 x 720 7” CRT 8” CRT 9” CRT 480i/p, 1080i, or 720p
DVP-1080
OUTPUT SCANRATE
1366 x 768 1280 x 720

1280 x 720
1280 x 720 or
1440 x 960
1440 x 960 or
1920 x 1080
1920 x 540p or
1280 x 720p
Note:
Occasionally, a digital display device may not actually accept the signal received from the processor at its native pixel resolution. Choose a standard DTV signal in this instance, such as 1280x720
(default setting), or 1920x540 (1080i equivalent).
A.2. There are “sparkles” appearing throughout the image when using the DVI OUTPUT
Cable length is too long to support the output resolution selected on the processor
• “Sparkles” may occur if the resolution selected on the DVP-1080 processor has exceeded the ability of the DVI cable to transmit all of the video data (missing bits = sparkles). This is directly dependent upon cable quality (contact cable manufacturer regarding length to resolution specifications).
• Unassisted DVI cable lengths to 50ft (15.24m) have been achieved with resolutions of 1024p and lower.
• Cable lengths of 50ft (15.24m), or greater, may require a DVI to Fiber Optic cable connection between the processor and display for resolutions higher than 1024p; consult Cable Manufacturer
A.3. Can the DVP1080 output both an Analog and a Digital signal simultaneously?
Yes. Four (4) potential SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT modes are available through the DVP-1080 SETUP MENU.
• ANALOG RGB + DVI Both DVI OUTPUT and ANALOG OUTPUTS are active (Default Setting)
• ANALOG RGB
Only ANALOG OUTPUTS are active (RGBh/v and MONITOR)
• DVI
Only DVI OUTPUT is active (RGBh/v and MONITOR out disabled)
• ANALOG YPrPb
Only ANALOG OUTPUTS are active (DVI output disabled)
Note:
When the DVI OUTPUT will be disabled, as the required output signal for DVI is RGB only.
A.4. Is the DVP-1080 capable of passing/processing an HDCP encrypted DVI/HDMI signal?
Yes. However, the DVI INPUT on the display device must also be HDCP compliant to view the image, or the
HDCP encryption “handshake” will be broken. If digital “snow”, or a message dialog box appears on HDCP

Pearcision
encrypted signals to make an alternate connection, you should then check the display’s Operations Manual to verify HDCP compliance.
Note:
A DVI signal that is HDCP encrypted will deactivate the ANALOG OUTPUTS.
A.5. Which type of DVI cable should I use from the processor to the display?
It is recommended to install a DVI-D, Single-Link cable connection.
The physical DVI connection IN and OUT of the DVP-1080 is a DVI-I, Dual-Link connector. However, the
DVP-1080 internal pin out configuration is for a DVI-D, Single-Link cable connection. This allows for system connection flexibility. The display device will typically have a DVI-D type connector.
A.6. How long can I run a DVI cable?
High resolution displays require a high quality DVI cable connection from the processor to the display. DVI cables must be rated to support the scanrate and length to be implemented; up to 50 foot non-fiber cables are okay for scanrates 1280x1024 and below. Higher scanrates, such as 1920x1080p, require the DVI cable be rated to at least 1600x1200 for the cable length required. A DVI to fiber optic cable is highly recommended for cable lengths longer than 16 feet (5m).
If the DVI cable has exceeded its ability to support the resolution selected, you may experience “sparkles” and/or digital noise throughout the video, or no video at all. To insure installation success, you should always test your connections, prior to installation.
A.7. Which output connection should I choose: DVI, BNC (RGBh/v) or MONITOR (VGA)?
When available, the DVI OUTPUT should always be utilized first. However, it is also recommended to route an analog RGBh/v cable to enable system expandability.
DVI OUTPUT:
Choose this connection first, unless the display device does not support this type input connection.
BNC (RGBh/v) Output:
Choose the BNC output connections for analog display devices that do not have a DVI input connection.
When SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DVI is selected within the SETUP MENU, the ANALOG OUTPUTS are disabled; however, will pass analog to analog signals (select appropriate input on the display device).
MONITOR (VGA) Output:
The MONITOR output connection, though convenient, is designed for short cable runs of nine (9) feet, or less.
The BNC (RGBh/v) output is recommended first.
When SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DVI is selected within the SETUP MENU, the ANALOG OUTPUTS are disabled; however, will pass analog to analog signals (select appropriate input on the display device).
Note:
There is inherent signal degradation utilizing the MONITOR output for cables runs over nine (9) feet.
YPrPb Output (Component):
Select this output format only when the display device does not support either a DVI, RGBh/v, or 15-pin
(VGA) input connection. Select SET: NTSC SCANRATE / 1280x720 or 1920x540 (1080i equivalent), as these scanrates are the only valid Component video output formats which the display will understand; both output scanrates are recognized by the display device as a DTV video signal.
When SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DVI is selected within the SETUP MENU, the ANALOG OUTPUTS are disabled; however, will pass analog to analog signals (select appropriate input on the display).

A.8. There is “Dark Banding/Streaking” while the video image is changing; how do I fix this?
The video image is either positioned (Phased) too far to the left/right, or the image is too wide. Though the image may be “filling” the viewable screen area, the display is having difficulty finding the actual Clamp Pulse
(sync signal). The display is now “Clamping” to the Peak Whites of the video signal; or rather, “clamping” to video, not the sync pulse.
You should recalibrate the display device utilizing a master video test pattern. Utilize a Component (YCrCb)
DVD source and a Safe-Area test pattern (AVIA or DVD Essentials calibration DVD).
Digital Display Device (
Plasma, D-ILA, DLP or LCD)
• Utilize a “Screen Area” test pattern from a calibration test DVD
• Reduce the video image size until you see the Active Picture area of both the left side and right side of the video image
• Center the image on the screen using the positioning controls of the display device only
• Digital displays will have sizing controls labeled Pixel Clock, Dot Clock or just Clock, etc. This adjustment will expand/contract the image to from the Right; the Left side of the image should remain relatively fixed to its position
• Use Horizontal Size, Positioning controls and Clock adjustment to center/position the image on screen.
You will need to utilize all controls to achieve/massage image centering
• Once the image is centered correctly, fully expand the image to the edge of the screen
Analog CRT Display Device
• Use a “Screen Area” setup pattern from a calibration test DVD
• Reduce the image size by 10% to 15%
• Un-blank Left, Right, Top and Bottom Blanking
• Increase BRIGHTNESS to 75%
• Image should be clearly seen within the raster area
• Phase picture to center image within the raster area
• Center raster (with image) on the screen
• Blank Left, Right, Top and Bottom Blanking to edge of image
• Increase Left/Right and Top/Bottom Size to the edge of screen

B. Connecting the to Sources to the Processor
B.1. Can the DVP-1080 process computer signals sent to the DVI INPUT or PASS-THRU input?
No. The DVP-1080 will only route a digital or analog computer signal directly to the pass-through circuitry.
Analog (VGA):
When an analog computer source is connected to the PASS-THRU input, you must connect an RGBh/v cable to the display device. The processor will not convert an analog VGA signal to DVI; the display device must also be capable of the resolution selected on the computer source.
Digital (DVI):
When a digital computer source is connected to the DVI INPUT, you must connect a DVI cable to the display device. The processor will not convert a digital DVI computer source to RGBh/v; the display device must also be capable of the resolution selected on the computer source.
B.2. There is no video from the DVI OUTPUT when the source is connected to the PASS-THRU input.
The D-15 PASS-THRU input will only route RGBh/v or YPrPb (Component) signals to pass-through via the
ANALOG OUTPUTS of the DVP-1080 (Analog IN = Analog OUT). It is always recommended to install both an RGBh/v cable and a DVI cable to the display device for system expandability.
If the display does not have an RGBh/v, or D-15 (VGA) input connection, install a 3-wire Component analog cable to the display; however, only 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i are valid Component video signals.
B.3. There is no video from the ANALOG OUTPUTS when the source is connected to the DVI
INPUT.
•
A DVI input signal that is HDCP encrypted will deactivate the ANALOG OUTPUTS. HDCP encrypted signals can only connected to the display device using the DVI OUTPUT.
• The DVI input originates from a computer source. All VESA computer resolutions are sent directly to pass-through in the same format received (Digital IN = Digital OUT).

Note:
Use the same procedure above during SET: PAL SCANRATE, if applicable
(International use)
C.2. I selected, SET: NTSC SCANRATE / 1920x1080, now there is no video output.
The 1920x1080 output scanrate is a Progressive Format (67.43kHz), not a 1080i HDTV Interlaced Format
(33.75kHz). The display device must be capable of receiving this scanrate (refer to display User’s Manual).
When utilizing the DVI OUTPUT, cable lengths to support 1920x1080p should be no greater than 16ft (5m).
Cable lengths longer than 16ft (5m) may require a DVI to Fiber Optic connection. DVI cable lengths longer than 16ft (5m) may render an unstable image, “sparkles” throughout the image, or no image at all.
Note:
Some digital displays may have a physical pixel density of 1920x1080, but will not display the actual
1920x1080p/60Hz signal received by the DVP-1080 processor. Example: 1920x1080, 24p/sF. Think of 24p/sF as an Interlaced signal, whereby, a Progressive HD Segmented Frame is displayed as two individual frames (similar to 1080i), then spliced back together; an Interlaced Format.
C.3. Is SET: NTSC SCANRATE / 1920x1080 an Interlaced or Progressive video signal?
The 1920x1080 output scanrate selection is a Progressive Format signal (67.4KHz, 60Hz refresh). Typically, only high resolution displays will accept/resolve this input signal, such as 9”CRT projection, or a digital display device with a native pixel density of 1920x1080.
Note:
Some digital displays will have a physical pixel density of 1920x1080; however, may not accept this input scanrate. If not, the image may either be split, or half the image is present, or no image at all.
Refer to display user’s manual for signal compatibility.
If the display does not accept 1920x1080 at 60Hz, then you must choose an alternate resolution the display will understand, such as 1280x720 or 1920x540p (1080i equivalent). Both output resolutions are perceived by the display as a DTV video signal.

Pearcision
C.4. My connection to the display device is Analog, which SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT format should I choose, RGB or YPrPb?
SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG RGB + DVI and SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG RGB
When DVI is not available, the preferred analog output selection from the DVP-1080 is always RGB, intimating RGBh/v. This produces the highest quality analog signal, as the processor will have pre-decoded the incoming video signal to its fundamental constituents of Red, Green, Blue, horizontal sync/vertical sync.
SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG YPrPb
When DVI is not available, and display does not have either an RGBh/v or 15-pin (VGA) input connection, select SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG YPrPb from within the SETUP MENU.
You must also select either SET: NTSC SCANRATE / 1280x720 or 1920x540 (1080i equivalent), as these scanrates are the only valid Component video output formats which the display will understand; both the
1280x720 and 1920x540 scanrates are recognized by the display device as a DTV video signal.
