Pioneer DVR-930H-S

The DVR-930H-S is the new range-topping HDD/DVD Recorder from Pioneer. It provides a 400 GB Hard Disk and the very latest innovations in HDD/DVD recording.

Its playback technology includes full 10 bit precision signal processing, an HDMI interface for immaculate signal transfer, a 108 MHz/14-bit Video DAC that provides picture-perfect images and PureCinema Progressive Scan for flicker-free ‘cinematographic’ viewing.

Capacities and high-speed dubbing
The DVR-930H-S can record up to 700 hours of video on its hard drive. Thanks to the high quality MPEG encoder, it can record up to eight hours on a single-layer DVD-R/DVD-RW disc. Making optimal use of the integrated high-speed DVD-writer mechanism, video can also be transferred easily to DVD. Depending on the recording mode selected and DVD-R/DVD-RW media used, transfer speeds over 50 times faster than real time can be achieved.

Acquisition and playback
# 10 bit precision signal processing:
A key feature of the DVR-930H-S is the immediate conversion of incoming video signals from analogue to digital and subsequent full 10-bit precision signal processing in the digital domain. The conversion ensures that images are of the highest possible quality and encompasses all analogue video inputs – including RGB. With PAL signals, an adaptive 5-Line Comb filter ensures the optimum Y/C separation with the least possible cross colour and dot disturbance. A Time Base Corrector, part of the digital process, stabilises the signal and removes the jitter characteristic of analogue video recording to achieve an exceptional level of recording precision.

# HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface):
The DVR-930H-S includes Pioneer’s ‘Picture Creation’ processing to further enhance picture quality. The integrity of the video playback circuit is secured by the HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface) that allows transfer of full digital video and audio content over a single cable to produce perfect pictures and sound without signal deterioration.

# 108 MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter:
Additionally , the DVR-930H-S features a 108 MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter. It ensures picture perfection by boosting resolution far beyond the limit of traditional data converters - to as close to the original DVD source as possible. Pioneer’s latest VQE9, only incorporated in Pioneer’s top video devices, significantly advances the progressive processing function for all video content. The recorder also includes PureCinema Progressive Scan that effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture output, for a very stable, flicker-free ‘cinematographic’ viewing experience.

Electronic Programme Guide
The ease of use of the DVR-930H-S is enhanced by the GUIDE Plus+? EPG. This provides an up-to-seven-day listings guide with easy one-button programming from detailed TV channel and programme listings.

Easy to use
By assessing how consumers interact with technology, Pioneer has designed a highly intuitive easy-to-use on-screen interface (GUI). So even when users operate the new recorder for the first time, they’ll be able to enjoy its simple, convenient and clear on-screen controls.

Chassis stability
The stability of the system, crucial for high-quality audio and video performance, is advanced through itsinnovative dual-layer chassis. This absorbs unwanted internal and external vibrations offering stable audio/video processing and reproduction.

Expanding applications
Support for compressed audio playback from disc is provided through WMA and MP3 formats. Likewise users can play back JPEG files recorded on CD from within the PhotoViewer application. And easy recording is possible from a variety of sources in addition to the built-in analogue TV tuner, with support for optimum quality RGB video via SCART and for digital camcorders via the DV input/output.
