The P-03 Universal Transport:
Universal Audio Video Transport Model “P-03 Universal”Highly acclaimed
VRDS-NEO mechanism (Newly developed vibration free, rigid disc clamping
system), AC power drive components, chassis construction, and cosmetics ...the
P-03 Universal shares most of its basic design features with the P-03.
In addition to conventional playback, the P-03 Universal also features
native PCM to DSD signal conversion for CD audio. Users may select suitable
digital conversion options based on personal preference relative to the type
of source material used, the category of music selected or simply tomatch the
capability of other components used within the system.
The “P-03 Universal,” integrates proven, high quality video processing
technologies enhanced by ESOTERIC. Unlike other players using 10 bit or 12 bit
video processing, the P-03 Universal is equipped with the latest 14 bit / 216
MHz video D / A converter chip from Analog Devices as well as the latest video
scaling chip from Anchor Bay technologies. This provides for DVD Video
up-conversion capability as high as 1080p (progressive scan).
KEY FEATURES:
Fully tuned & matched components including newly designed analog &
digital video output circuits.
The latest 14 bit / 216 MHz video D / A converter chip (ADV 7324), from
Analog Devices.
The latest digital video up-scaling chip (LSI ABT 1080), from Anchor Bay
Technologies.
Exclusive AC power components (transformer and circuit board), isolated
from the audio section, are dedicated for video processing, providing superior
video output display performance.
Various signal output interfaces are provided including HDMI (High
definition multi-media interface).
The P-03 Universal is equipped with a HDMI terminal (maximum up-scaling to
1080P), component video outputs, 12V DC trigger/remote control output for
compatible external control components, and RS232C for custom installers and
home theater control applications. High definition video up-conversion to
1080P. Scaling: 480i / 576i, 480P / 576P, 720P, 1080i, 1080P
The same state of the art commercial technologies shared with the P-03
audio transport including: drive mechanisms, AC power component, digital audio
output circuits, internal circuit layouts, chassis construction , chassis
isolation, horizontal sled, vertical pickup implementation and design
cosmetics.
VRDS-NEO mechanism, highly acclaimed for its accurate alignment properties
for reading digitaldata. Used in conjunction with ESOTERIC’s horizontal sled
and proprietary pick-up assembly, prevents any off axis data read and greatly
reduces or eliminates the need for error correction.
New for the P-03 Universal: Tray top surface illumination during loading.
This allows easier disc placement, disc change out, or disc removal in low
light or no light situations.
Integrated separate-chassis construction: highly rigid integrated
one-piece body style containing separate power supply, electronics and
transport compartments. This greatly reduces interference potential and
inherent noise associated with more common single chassis designs.
Thick aluminum front panel, side panels, top panels and front-corner
rounded blocks, covers the integrated chassis supported by a 5 mm-thick steel
bottom chassis. This design implementation further reduces overall system
noise, created by external influences during the playback
process
Three pinpoint isolation feet (patent pending), made of quenched steel
provide a level and isolated “buffer,” zone between the chassis and the
surface where it is placed, further reducing vibration
User selectable digital audio output features DSD (native mode for SACD),
PCM native mode, PCM digital signal up-conversion, and, PCM to DSD conversion
function for standard CDs.
Word Synchronization
The P-03 Universal can accept and synchronize (WORD SYNC), to the
following clocking frequencies received from external devices such as
ESOTERIC’s G25U, AZ-1 or G-0s : 44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz,
192 kHz, 100 kHz.
Exceptionally high-grade selection of parts and internal wiring (6N
copper, etc.)ensures top quality audio video playback performance.
