Using the Zoran Vaddis 888s core processor and Arcam’s broadcast quality circuitry, the picture from the DV135 is class leading. Zoran’s motion adaptive de-interlacing techniques mean pictures are pure, clean and startlingly detailed. The internal video scaling engine allows the DV135 to supply high resolution pictures direct to the screen using its HDMI output. In many cases this means bypassing the low cost and inferior performance scaling chips fitted to most of today’s digital video displays. The DV135’s resolution options even include 768p for direct input to any of the popular 1366 x 768 pixel displays that choose to implement this format.
As you would expect from a company with a 30-year heritage, audio performance from the DV135 is stunning. Ultra high precision clocks, Wolfson 8740 DACs and low noise toroidial transformer based power supplies ensure CD playback will delight movie and music lovers alike. DVD-Audio and SACD discs also benefit from the DV135’s world-class audio design delivering stunning music from all discs.
For DVDs, extended buffer memory means no pause during the layer change of dual layer discs. “CUE” or “Chroma Upsampling Error” (a video processing artifact often found on DVD players) is completely absent from the DV135 ensuring a clean, crisp and film-like picture that leaves its competition standing.
A stylish remote handset is included (the CR515) and, for more complex control systems, a full duplex RS232 interface is fitted. A full suite of RC5 remote control codes gives discrete control of toggle commands such as on / off.
The DV135 was designed and manufactured in the UK and was manuafcatured in black or silver.
