The Meridian DVP-2351 is a versatile 
high-definition video processor 
designed to deliver maximum image 
quality with powerful digital video 
processing to get the best out of 
any input signal, standard or high 
definition. 

The processor also acts as a central video 
switching system – ideal, as the processor 
is the perfect location for video source 
selection to be carried out. If the switching is 
in the projector, you need multiple cable runs 
to it; if it’s in the surround-sound processor, 
you risk degrading the audio quality with 
digital video noise. 

The DVP-2351 includes 12 video inputs – 
2 composite, 2 S-Video, 2 component, 1 
RGBHV and 4 HDMI – and 9 audio ins, 4 
HDMI, 2 assignable coax and 2 assignable 
optical digital ins, and an assignable 
analogue pair. 

The processor features output presets for 
4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1 and custom, and Meridian’s 
Schneider Cinemascope lens system is 
directly supported. The processor offers 
separate display and screen adjustments, 
plus underscan adjustment to compensate 
for display overscan where present. 

The processor offers fully programmable 
picture controls with separate non-volatile 
memories for each input and input resolution. 

An intuitive on-screen display is provided 
and an easily-read 2-line x 20-character 
front panel display.  Ten display profiles are 
provided plus output resolution, sync type, 
colour space, frame lock and gamma output 
settings. 35 test patterns are built-in.

Operation is via the front panel controls, IR 
remote (discrete codes available) or RS232.

The DVP-2351 features a wide range of 
features designed to deliver the very highest 
quality from any input signal. Mosquito noise 
reduction reduces noise that may appear at 
the edges of compressed images, while fine 
detail enhancement extracts the detail from 
lower resolution sources. Edge enhancement 
sharpens edge transitions in images without 
adding ringing effects.

A precision 10-bit motion, edge and source-
adaptive deinterlacing system is employed 
on 480i, 576i and 1080i sources, while 
poor-quality external deinterlacing can be 
undone and re-done to a much greater level 
of precision. De-interlacing includes five-field 
motion adaptive technology and edge-
adaptive technology for smooth diagonals. 

The unit will lock to any cadence and 
includes forced 2:2 for reliable PAL 
deinterlacing, plus forced 3:2 mode for blue 
laser formats to enable judder-free frame-
locked 24/48/72 Hz output. There are also 
special low-latency gaming modes.
