2 The Faroudja DVP3000 Digital Video
Processor/Scaler is the ideal solution for
optimizing the growing selection of display
devices that require high performance results.
The unit is a precision video instrument used to
convert 480i interlaced signals into high-
resolution progressively scanned images .
The DVP3000 removes typical video processing
artifacts while also increasing color purity and
image detail by using a process called Picture
Plus-„¢ technology. (See page 3 for details).
It offers unique flexibility to select different scan
rates and aspect ratios to get the most out of the
display device whether it be a CRT, LCD, DLP or
Plasma based display.
The DVP3000 is a full function Scaler that offers
computer scan rates of VGA, SVGA, XGA and
SXGA plus HDTV scan rates of 1080i, 720p,
960p (Quadrupling) and even 1080p. This
flexibility allows for optimization of any type of
display technology. CRTs can be set to provide
maximum scan lines with maximum detail and
any pixel-based display can be connected at the
projectors native resolution.
Another key feature for optimizing the image is
internal Aspect Ratio selection. Thisprovides perfect image geometry no matter what
type of source is used, either Letterbox,
Anamorphic or 4:3. Since the DVP3000
manipulates the aspect ratio, the display only
needs one memory.
The DVP3000 accepts all types of interlaced
sources; Composite, S-Video and Component. It
is also forward compatible with future sources
including the progressive output from DVD
players by upconverting the signal to a higher
scan rate. It also has connections for any high
resolution source such as HDTV or Computer to
pass-through to the display while offering
controls for Contrast and Color.
Two key new technologies are implemented in
the DVP3000. DCDi TM
, Directional Correlation
Deinterlacing, prevents the introduction of motion
artifacts from video original material such as
sporting events. The Scan-Lock TM
Bandwidth
Expansion circuit optimizes the detail settings for
each scan rate.
The DVP3000 offers a 10-bit color decoder for
noise free color reproduction. A Time Base
Corrector helps to stabilize unstable sources
such as VHS tapes.
The DVP3000 comes with a multi-function smart
remote control that allows for both toggle and
direct access control of all functions plus has the
commands for seven other theater devices
already loaded into its memory.Product DescriptionOn June 24, 1998 Yves Faroudja was awarded theprestigious Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement
Award from the Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences for his video processing technology. Faroudjas
first Emmy was awarded in 1991. Some of this award
winning technology is used in the DVP3000.
