Processor Setup Questions
C.1.
I changed the output scanrate, but the processor did not register the scanrate selection.
Changing the output scanrate requires confirmation of the new output scanrate selection. Do not select an
output scanrate which exceeds display device capabilities (refer to display device User’s Manual).

Front Panel LCD display will indicate
ARE YOU SURE?

button to confirm resolution selection
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.
W A R N I N G
DAMAGE may occur if the output scanrate selected within the DVP-1080
SETUP MENU
exceeds the
ability of the display device to show the image.
