COSTA MESA, CA—V, Inc., one of the industry's fastest growing makers
of consumer digital display products, today announced the launch of its
new BRAVO D2 DVD scaling DVI media player and BRAVO HD1 High-Definition
receiver. ; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
The BRAVO D2 is an update from the
multi-award-winning BRAVO D1 which made its entrance last year as the
first DVD player to ship with scaled DVI output and MPEG-4 playback. The
BRAVO D2's DVI output offers a direct digital video signal from DVD straight
to display, bypassing analog conversion. The result is a pure picture
free from traditional digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion artifacts. The
BRAVO D2's scaler will output video in DVI or component video formats in
HD resolutions of 480p, 1080i*, and 720p* as well as advanced DVI custom
settings. The BRAVO D2 updates the D1 with control of DVI color, brightness and contrast levels, improved analog video output and integrated screen saver functionality to help protect the long term performance of today's flat panel displays. A new remote control and redesigned titanium silver-finished enclosure complete the product's upgrade.
Additional BRAVO D2 features include Picture ZOOM 1 & 2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DVD-R/+R CD, CD-R/RW, and Kodak Picture CD playback as well as PCM, DTS and Dolby® Digital audio pass-through on Toslink or coaxial digital outputs.
To further expand on the BRAVO
product line launches, V, Inc. announced the introduction of the BRAVO HD1
TV receiver. Designed to receive programming from both HD (MPEG-2, ATSC)
and SD (NTSC) terrestrial TV channels, the BRAVO HD1 High-Definition receiver
provides an affordable way to enjoy free-to-air (FTA) high definition
content. Additionally, the BRAVO HD1 offers an auxiliary A/V input that
provides PIP mode on any TV. With an easy-to-use electronic program guide
menu, and the capability to store up to 1,500 digital channels, the sleek
BRAVO HD1 is designed to complement any home entertainment
system.
Additionally, the BRAVO HD1 supports output resolutions of
480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and selectable configurations for widescreen 16:9
and standard 4:3 displays. Outputs include component video Y/Pb/Pr,
