Philips DVP5990 review
HDMI digital output for easy connection with only one cable HDMI stands for
High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection
that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By
eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture
and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with (Digital Video Interface) DVI.
12-bit/108MHz video processing for sharp, natural images 12-bit Video DAC
is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of
the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother
graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The
limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using
large screens and projectors.
192kHz/24 bit audio DAC enhances analogue sound input 192KHz sampling
enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound
curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured
from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio
reproduction.
High quality outputs for analog and digital audio

absolute clarity, without loss of quality or detail - and share them with

Progressive Scan component video for optimized image quality Progressive
Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the
screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are
written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the
maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture
with no line structure.
