Got a question through eBay that I can't answer:

Do all Faroudja DVP3000s work on PAL? Got a customer that has one in Australia that works fine apparently with NTSC, but not PAL.

Thanks!

Curt,

the PAL/NTSC version of the 3000 and 5000 series models had a U for Universal

no U means NTSC only

Both models come packed with capabilities and features. The DVP3000 is designed for NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. sources, and the DVP3000U for both PAL and NTSC. Both units offer scan rate scaling to computer rates of VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. , SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. , XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. and SXGA(Super XGA) A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. SXGA is commonly used on standard monitors, but provides a 1.25:1 aspect ratio, compared to the more common 1.33:1 (4:3) ratio. SXGA+ has a 1400x1050 resolution, which is an exact 1.33:1 ratio. See PC display modes.

This means the output can match the native resolution of fixed-panel projectors or maximize the resolution of a CRT projector. The progressive output from future DVD players can also be connected to the units and upconverted to any higher scan rate.
