Pioneer DVL-919

Pioneer Electronics, the acknowledged leader in optical disc technology, introduces a third generation DVD/LD player - DVL-919, which proves to be the perfect transition product for movie enthusiasts everywhere.??The DVL-919's new video circuitry, boasts improved video performance for DVD, due to a 10-bit video processing LSI (Large Scale Integrated Circuit). The DVD format's 8-Bit video information is requantized into 10 bits for more accurate processing - resulting in fewer digital artifacts. This Pioneer-developed video LSI combines, on a single chip, the MPEG2 decoder, 10-bit video processor, 10-bit DAC, NTSC encoder and audio decoder. Finally, to further the video clarity, the DVL-919 also features component video outputs, which provide the purest form of video available in any consumer video product to date. To compensate for physical flaws in the software, such as disc flatness and hole centering, Pioneer has developed a "ViterBi" decoding circuit. This proprietary circuit enables reading accuracy t...
