DVD-32FLR
The DVD32R has earned itself a reputation as one of the best performing DVD players money can buy, and the first DVD player to truly offer no-compromise, top class CD replay. However, the top loading construction of DVD32R does not suit all installations.
Ever since launching DVD32R in September 2000 to widespread acclaim, the team at TAG McLaren have been pursuing an elusive goal: to get close to the performance of the DVD32R, but from a front loading design.
DVD Player DVD32FLR
 From the outset it was clear that a similar performance could only be reached if we could re-use the DVD32R’s proven electronics, but linked to a front loading DVD mechanism.
However, the DVD32R is an extremely compact design, bearing in mind that it includes a heavy, lead-weighted, suspended DVD transport mechanism, hence the height had to increase to add the front loading DVD mechanism above the DVD32R’s main printed circuit board.
Like the DVD32R, the DVD32FLR continues TAG McLaren’s tradition of protecting their customers’ investment with upgradability other manufacturers can only dream of. The DVD32FLR can already be upgraded to accept the stunning Progressive Scan Module PSM192, providing top class, motion-adaptive analog and digital progressive scan output from PAL and NTSC DVDs - but also generating progressive scan output from all your S-Video and Composite video sources. Read the PSM192 article for details of this amazing upgrade.
The vault-like construction of the player starts with its ultra-rigid front panel. The panel is machined from a 17 mm thick custom aluminium extrusion, deeply finned for maximum rigidity. The player’s rigid, folded chassis bolts directly to the front panel, creating a very stiff assembly. The loader mechanism itself is carried on a separate sub-chassis which is in turn bolted to both the chassis and the front panel, further increasing the rigidity of the player. Finally, the lid fits snugly into the front panel extrusion and is bolted to the chassis at the rear.
The entire construction weighs in at a substantial 8.85 kg and rests on TAG McLaren’s custom made Sorbothane mounting feet for vibration isolation.
The Progressive Scan Module PSM192
The PSM192 de-interlaces all your video sources! ...why only enhance DVDs?
Progressive Scan or De-interlacing, i.e. the generation of a picture which is progressively scanned every 1/50s (NTSC: 1/60) from top to bottom, has recently become popular in the context of the latest DVD player technology.
Progressive Scan provides significant picture enhancement, but should not be limited to DVD. Why not use a general purpose Progressive Scan Module, like the PSM192, instead, to de-interlace all your video sources? TV, VCR, Laserdisc, video camera, satellite receiver etc. will all improve, just like your DVD!
Interlacing, i.e. splitting a picture into two fields of half the line count, which in PAL transmissions are sent 1/50 (NTSC: 1/60) seconds apart, leads to reduced vertical picture resolution and flicker. Unfortunately, just 'gluing’ those fields together afterwards isn't that simple.
Progressive Scan results in better vertical picture resolution, reduced motion artefacts and reduced flicker, making us wonder how we could ever have lived without it.
Two of the very latest Plasma screens from different manufacturers were therefore pulled into our laboratory for analysis. The tests were: firstly feed the screens with ‘standard’ interlaced video, therefore using the Plasmas' internal Progressive Scan modules and scalers, secondly feed the screens from the output of the PSM192, installed in a DVD32R.
Before undertaking this experiment we were sceptical about the outcome, thinking that Plasma technology should have
progressed nicely, leaving very little else to offer. However, comparing the picture quality of these two 42" Plasmas left me surprised: the pictures couldn't be more different, whether interlaced or de-interlaced. Feeding the very same signal resulted in significantly different pictures, proving that video technology surely hasn’t reached ‘Picture Perfect’ yet.
Acknowledging the fact that the picture quality differences between Plasmas of different manufacturers are still huge, we focussed on the performance of the Plasmas’ internal de-interlacer compared to the PSM192 installed in the DVD32R. It wasn’t difficult to see the differences, Silicon Image’s latest technology in the PSM192 showed clear gains, resulting in a picture which was crisper, showing sharper details and reduced motion artefacts.
Should this really surprise us? Display technologies are expensive, savings on ultimate picture quality versus screen size are all important and if you haven’t seen what is possible, you might not even know what you are missing. In a very competitive market, such as display technology, adding a six layer, highly integrated and powerful Progressive Scan Module, such as the PSM192, is commercially just not viable - not for the display manufacturer!
