The Epson P-4000 only supports MPEG-4 Simple Profile, but at a high bit rate. All of the tested units, except the Epson P-4000, support one or the other. We used the Windows Media Video, WMV, and MPEG H.264 codecs wherever possible, because they provide the best picture quality for a given bit rate. The performance and efficiency of the codec used in compressing the video also plays an important role in picture quality. In order to maintain the video picture quality as high as possible, we used the maximum video bit rate specified by each manufacturer. All videos degrade in picture quality when higher digital compression ratios are used, which is done to decrease the required file size by reducing the video bit rate.

All of the tested players can output their images to a TV with 640Г—480 or 720Г—480 resolution signals, which is higher than the resolution of all but one of the tested LCD screens. But the TV Out capability makes all of the players useful for presentations to much larger audiences. Note that using lower-grade source material at lower bit rates, encoded and/or transcoded with other codecs, will likely result in lower picture quality.The Archos, Cowon, and Epson players have screens large enough for three (very friendly) people to view at the same time. The end result of this careful preparation is that compression artifacts for all of the players were small and seldom noticeable on-screen, and therefore were not a factor in the picture quality evaluations. The optimum video encoding parameters used for the picture quality tests are listed in Table 3.

The Universal Dock for the Apple iPod has a higher signal quality S-Video output and the DVR Station for the Archos 604 provides the highest quality RGB and component video outputs in addition to S-Video. All of the players include a composite video signal output for the TV. Note that lower-performance TVs may not be able to produce as good a picture quality as the playerвЂ™s own screen. The TV Out results are listed in Table 3. All of the players produced very good TV picture quality, though we had to readjust some of the TVвЂ™s calibrated controls to get the best picture.
