DV-6050 advanced video technology The DV-6050 changer includes two different video processing circuits from Faroudja ® that deliver a superb DVD picture that is close to a high definition broadcast image when viewed on an HD-ready TV or monitor. ¶ A Faroudja DCDI-„¢ (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) progressive scan processor produces the highest-quality progressive video output in the industry, pro viding superior performance where many progressive scan DVD players have great difficulty. DCDi s Motion Adaptive De-Correlation processes motion information separate from still information, reducing video artifacts and distortion such as jagged edges which are very apparent with motion and diagonal lines. Cross-Color Separation reduces bleed across colors, and Film and Animation Detection processes film and animation information separately, reducing artifacts and distortion in both. The DV-6050 allows you to use the on-screen menu to compare the DCDi-processed picture with the unprocessed picture. See page 38 of the instruction manual for details. ¶ Faroudja s Digital Video Enhancement increases resolution by processing both vertical and horizontal signals to provide maximum detail. Large edges and small details are processed independently, providing optimum edge enhancement, and a DVD image that approaches the quality of a high-definition broadcast image. The Enhancer Gain setting allows you to fine-tune the amount of Faroudja detail enhancement to increase sharpness without adding noise or making the picture look too etched or artificial. See page 38 of the instruction manual for details. Comparison of DCDi deinterlaced (progressive scan) output (top) with conventional progressive scan processing (bottom). Proprietary Faroudja technology identifies moving images at all angles, and uses exclusive algorithms to process the moving edges, producing a smooth image that is far more film-like than is possible with conven- tional progressive scan processing. DCDi pro- cessing also eliminates coloration artifacts result- ing from the deinter-lacing process.
