Yamaha RX-V1065 A/V Receiver Video Test Bench

Video Test Bench

The Yamaha does not perform any deinterlacing or upscaling on HDMI inputs. It simply passes the input resolution through to the output. Therefore, the Digital 3:2, 2:2, MA, and Scaling tests here are not applicable. The Digital Video Clipping, Luma Resolution, and Chroma Resolution tests were all done with a 1080p HDMI input and a 1080p HDMI output. The receiver’s Digital passthrough results on these tests were good, apart from a Borderline result on the Luma Resolution test. The topmost vertical resolution burst was slightly reduced in level but still had usable response. The horizontal luma resolution passed cleanly.

It was a different story for the Analog tests—component in to HDMI out. The RX-V1065 will upconvert 480i and 480p to 1080p in this situation, but not 1080i to 1080p (thus the N/A result for the Analog HD tests). The Video Clipping, Luma Resolution, and Chroma Resolution tests were all performed with a 1080i input and a 1080i output. The results here were poor, apart from a passing grade on our 2:2 SD test. I do not recommend using cross-conversion (component in to HDMI out) on this receiver except on sources where video quality isn’t important.—TJN
