–Digital Crystal Clear (on Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y Progressive Scan Video Out only)

Digital Crystal Clear (DCC) allows you to fine-tune the following parametres on the progressive scan output.

Chroma Delay - is where the Chroma (colour) and luma (brightness) signals are not synchronised.This allows you to adjust the advance delay of the chroma signal to yield a perfectly clear picture.

Gamma - allows you to adjust the intensity of the picture non-linearly. A positive value allows you to bring out low level detail in dark scenes, while a negative value will emphasize contrast.

Sharpness - allows you to adjust sharpness of the picture.

DCDi (New Directional Correlation De- interlacing) - computes and tracks the angle of edge to fill in the missing pixel on the TV screen. Switching DCDi ON will optimise the image quality significantly, especially during the slow motion playback.

Aspect Ratio - to adjust the ratio of the pictures on the TV screen.

NO LINEAR STRETCH: for display of 4:3 image on 16:9 TV with non-linear stretching (centre portion of screen is stretch less than the side). PILLER BOX: for display of 4:3 image on 16:9 TV without stretching.

OFF: No aspect ration adjustment

True Life - produces a more dynamic picture by increasing the picture contrast and the colour intensity.
