Flexible DM-D4000 HD Decoder Bridges Analog and Digital

Las Vegas, NV, (NAB, April 19-22, 1999) - VICTOR COMPANY OF JAPAN, LIMITED (JVC) announces the DM-D4000 HD decoder, a flexible High Definition MPEG-2 decoding system. It outputs serial digital or analog component video signals and digital or analog audio signals decoded from MPEG-2 transport streams.

The DM-D4000 decoder is part of JVC's package of advanced DTV products. It offers a choice of 1080i and 720p High Definition formats in addition to 480p and 480i standard definition formats and supports both ATSC, DVB and the Japanese ISDB standards for maximum flexibility in today's worldwide broadcast environments.

The system's audio support includes 2 channel and 2 channel mix-down of 5.1 channel Dolby* Digital (AC-3*) decoding and 5.1 channel Dolby* Digital pass through. An on-screen overlay display for EIA-708 decoded closed captioning is also available.

The decoder's compact, one rack unit chassis has convenient front panel control. Its Ethernet interface provides easy system integration and network management.

The DM-D4000 is the result of JVC's long-time experience designing MPEG-2 encoders and decoders. JVC's broad skills in compression and decoding design have been developed on generations of silicon, in conjunction with C-Cube Microsystems, from the very beginning of the MPEG standardization process. JVC developed system microcode also drives the silicon level operations of DiviCom's fourth-generation single rack unit HDTV MV400 encoder. It is the cornerstone of that unit's efficiency and ability to take advantage of DiviCom parent company C-Cube Microsystems' broadcast encoding silicon solutions.

The DM-D4000 decoder offers the high quality and system flexibility DiviCom and JVC customers have come to expect.

A summary of system features includes:

- Multiple video format support (1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i) for ATSC

- Digital video output for 1080i (SMPTE-292M)

- Built in MPEG-1 Layer II and Dolby* Digital audio decoding (2 channel and 2 channel mix-down of 5.1 channel)

- 5.1 channel Dolby* Digital pass through

- Optional support for AAC audio for Japanese DTV

- Analog and digital audio outputs

- Closed caption data decoding and display

- Ethernet interface for system integration and network management

- Convenient front panel control

- Compact, one rack unit chassis

- Safety: North America (UL1950), Japan (JEIDA 37), Europe (EN60950)
