CEDIA UK Expo 2008

DMi D&M Installation is showing a brand new DENON custom installation product series, comprising multi-zone power amplification, tuner and video processing units. These products incorporate DENON's market leading AV technologies, and offer all of the benefits of the brand's legendary engineering, reliability and build quality, at the same time representing exceptional value for money.

All three models in the new DENON CI series - the POA-3012CI 12 channel multi-zone power amplifier, TU-604CI six source modular multi tuner, and the DVP-602CI HDMI 6-in / 2-out video processor/ switcher - feature Ethernet connectivity and IP network control; enabling online remote set up and control, diagnosis and firmware updating.

The POA-3012ci is a 12 channel multi-zone distribution power amp system. The modular amplifier system offers highly flexible output configuration, comprising both discrete 30w (into 8 ohms) or bridged (100w into 8ohm) mode channel operation; 4 ohm drive capability is also guaranteed. Features providing unparalleled CI versatility include input signal bus routing, 12 input level control, 6x dual channel auto audio sensing mode, cascade outputs, discrete 6x dual channel and global trigger inputs, and AMX and Crestron third party control support via RS232C or over IP. The system's design enables easy on-site swap-out and replacement of the high quality digital amplifier modules in the event of failure.

The TU-604CI is an expandable six source multi-tuner. The unit comes pre loaded with dual independent AM/FM tuners and offers expansion via four additional slots for both AM/FM and DAB tuner cards. Each tuner module has independent control, 56 station memory, auto preset and station rename functions, front panel and IR lock modes and audio outputs. Again, CI control credentials are at the top of the specification with AMX and Crestron third party control support via RS232C or over IP, one global and six discrete trigger outputs, I/R remote in / out control, and web based remote control and set up capabilities.

For serious home theatre installations the DVP-6020CI offers reference video processing to provide the best possible picture quality for either HD or SD video or DVB signal sources. DENON's renowned Realta HQV video processing, full HDMI v1.3 support (six in / two out), Ethernet and full CI system control define this as a best-in-class product, with remote setup and control provided from a web based GUI.

The DVP-602CI enables the integration of legacy SD and HD video sources in an installation. Full 1080p HD performance throughout includes upscaling and deinterlacing SD input signals to provide amazingly improvement picture quality and the output of upscaled SD images via HDMI. Other premium processing features include the automatic reverse pull-down conversion to the original 24Hz film frame rate for film source material on DVD, Blu-ray disc and DVB; the processing detects film cadence in the 60Hz video signal triggering the reverse pull-down to match the smooth motion quality of the original film source as closely as possible. For viewing movies on projectors with anamorphic lenses, which stretch the normal 16:9 widescreen picture ratio to a 2.35:1 cinema scope ratio, the DVP-6020CI digitally stretches the image vertically, eliminating the black bars along the top and bottom of the picture that normally result with this process, providing a true cinematic picture that fills the entire screen. The DVP-602CI is also equipped with lipsync audio delay control, provides PC resolution output for VESA-6 formats and picture adjust for both analogue and HDMI input signals.
