Rear of board

Modifying Composite Sync Jumper

Setting

1)To configure the unit to output Composite Sync, locate the connector labeled “J-10”, as shown. A plastic jumper should already be straddling the two pins closest to the “NORMAL” label.

2)Move this jumper from its current position to the two pins closest to the “CSYNC” label as shown below.

Front of board

Modifying Sync-on-Green Jumper Setting

1)To configure the unit to merge sync with Green, locate the connector labeled “J8”, as shown above. There should already be a jumper on two of the pins, closest to the label “NORMAL.”

2)Move this jumper from its current position to the two pins closest to the “SYNC GREEN” label as shown above.

Reassembling the iScan Pro

1.Push the PC board back into the unit slowly, being careful that the bottom slots in the housing are used to guide the board and

that the front indicators appear through the front panel. Verify that the front panel switches protrude fully through the panel.

2.Replace the copper grounding clips so that they tuck between the power connector, the component connector, the output connector and the PC board and so that it makes contact with the metal enclosure.

3.Place the EMI gasket and the back panel over the connectors and make sure that it is flush with the sides of the housing.

4.Screw the two screws into the rear panel of the unit.

You may want to attach a note to the iScan Pro specifying which internal setting you have changed. This will be helpful at a later time when you may need to reconfigure your iScan Pro to work with a new display device.

Progressive Scan Display Interface specifications

DVDO Progressive Scan Display Interface (PDI) is an advanced technology designed to enhance video quality and user experience in display systems. It serves as a bridge between source devices, like DVD players or gaming consoles, and output displays such as televisions and projectors. The main purpose of the PDI is to provide a better visual experience by minimizing motion artifacts, enhancing color accuracy, and improving overall image clarity.

One of the key features of DVDO PDI technology is its progressive scan capability. Unlike traditional interlaced scanning methods where alternate lines of an image are displayed in each frame, progressive scanning delivers the entire image at once. This results in smoother motion and sharper images, especially beneficial for fast-paced content like sports or action movies.

Another important characteristic of DVDO PDI is its upscaling ability. The interface can take lower resolution video sources and convert them into higher quality outputs, ensuring that older video content can still look impressive on today’s high-definition displays. This upscaling feature is critical for users who still want to enjoy classic films or legacy video games without compromising on picture quality.

The technology also incorporates sophisticated deinterlacing algorithms that intelligently analyze video signals. These algorithms help in reducing visual artifacts such as combing and blurring, commonly found in interlaced video formats. This enhancement is particularly useful for mixed video sources, allowing seamless switching between different content types without noticeable degradation in quality.

DVDO PDI is also designed with various connectivity options to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices. High-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) compatibility allows for easy integration with modern displays, while additional outputs can cater to older systems, making it a versatile choice for multimedia setups.

Moreover, the user-friendly features of DVDO PDI include adjustable settings for color calibration, contrast enhancement, and image scaling, allowing users to customize their viewing experience. This adaptability makes it suitable for both home theater enthusiasts and casual viewers alike.

In conclusion, the DVDO Progressive Scan Display Interface stands out with its combination of progressive scanning, upscaling, intelligent deinterlacing, and extensive connectivity options. These characteristics work together to deliver an enhanced viewing experience, ensuring that users enjoy superior video quality regardless of the source material. As technology continues to evolve, DVDO remains at the forefront of display innovations, offering solutions that cater to the diverse needs of consumers.
