Home Video : Samsung DVD-HD960

Manufacturer's description

The DVD-HD960 is a high-definition up-conversion DVD player that employs Faroudja - a digital process that upgrades the standard DVD resolution to near high-definition resolution. The DVD-HD960 employs Faroudja's digital process that upgrades the standard DVD resolution to high-definition resolution with 1080i /720p and 768p signals. The DVD-HD960 includes both an HDMI input and output for a simple connection of uncompressed digital video. The unit adds a blue front power LED indicator and a white LCD screen, 6-channel audio and DVI outputs plus support for DVD-Audio and SACD playback - a boon for audiophiles. The DVD-HD960 high-definition conversion feature opens a vast library of DVD material to consumers using the Faroudja up-conversion process to upgrade a DVD's native resolution (480p) to output high definition formats (720p/768p/1080i). Significantly this process takes place entirely in the digital domain, which virtually eliminates any data loss and other artifacts associated with analog conversion. With both HDMI input and output capabilities, the DVD-HD960 becomes a multi-channel device allowing the unit to create both digital video and digital sound. This high-def conversion DVD player from Samsung serves to open a vast library of DVD material to these consumers by up-converting a DVD's native resolution (480p) to output high definition formats (720p/768p/1080i).
