MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player
Standard Video Connections
There are three ways to connect the MOON Calypso DVD Transport / Player to your video equipment using
standard video connections. They are presented here in order of increasing quality. Remember that whatever
connection type you decide to use, don’t hesitate to use high quality video cables. Lesser quality cables can
degrade the video quality.
For better image quality, we suggest that you connect your Calypso directly to your TV or video projection unit.
Certain home theater installations use a video switcher that often leads to some degradation of video signal
quality. In these situations, we recommend that you use the switcher for all your video connections with the
exception of the Calypso DVD Transport / Player, connecting both the video switcher and the Calypso directly
to your TV’s or video projection unit’s separate inputs.
Also, each output is independently buffered so can you use more than one output at the same time if ever your
setup requires such a connection.
A) Composite (CVBS)
This is the most common video connection. Nevertheless, you should use it only in the event that neither of the
following two connections are available on your TV/video projection unit, as it provides the lowest video quality of
those offered on the Calypso.
B) S-Video (Y/C)
This connection offers high quality video reproduction and the advantage of using only one (1) video cable (S-
Video type with a mini-DIN connector). It is a compromise between video image quality and the number of
cables used.
C) Component Interlaced (YP
B
P
R
)
This connection offers the highest possible video reproduction quality with interlaced video equipment (i.e. non-
Progressive Scan) and uses three RCA connectors. Connect the three outputs labeled Y, P
B
and P
R
to the
corresponding inputs on your TV or video projection unit with component video cables.
