HDMI digital video interface supporting high-quality video of 1080p (*1)
The AVR-987 has HDMI digital video interface terminals (2 inputs and 1 output) that
can be switched for high-resolution 1080p video signal transmission. These HDMI
terminals also support digital input of multi-channel audio signals.
*1) Version 1.1 compliant. Since HDCP is also supported, video cannot be viewed on a non-HDCP display
connected to the AVR-987; please connect a HDCP-compliant display when viewing video material.
■
Video Up/Down Conversion capable of output to HDMI
The AVR-987 includes a video up/down conversion function that allows the unit to be
connected to the video monitor via a single cable regardless of the video input signal's
format as follows:
1) Composite video signals are converted to HDMI (*2), component video, & S-video;
2) S-video signals are converted to HDMI (*2), component video, & composite video;
3) Component video signals are converted to HDMI (*2), composite video (*3), & S-video (*3).
*2. I/P conversion from 480i/576i to 480p/576p
*3. Down-conversion from component video to composite or S-video applies only to 480i input signals.

High-speed, high-accuracy 12-bit/216-MHz Video DAC
■
3 sets of component video inputs
■
Dual component outputs
■
High definition quality video switching
■
Composite and S-video signal processing
The AVR-987 uses a time base corrector (TBC) in converting composite video & S-video
signals to component video to suppress jitter in the video signal during playback.
