Video Adjust menu | These settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and |
| below. | | | | |
| Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images. |
| Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount |
| of noise and motion from the video source. |
| Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, |
| Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes. |
| Wide mode | stretches a standard | | |
| | | |
| broadcast or full-frame image to fill the | | |
| entire screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images | | |
| fill the entire screen without distortion, | | |
| while widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) | | |
| | |
| images appear without distortion but with black bars at the top and |
| bottom. | | | | |
Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image.
1:1 mode preserves the movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image.
Panoramic mode
uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode stretches only the left and right sides of the
image, and leaves the center of the image distortion free.
Film Mode Detection with Bad Edit Detection and Correction—Film Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the frame rate of the display for ultimate image quality. Bad Edit Detection and Correction corrects for incorrectly synchronized video.
Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI for optimized video performance.
DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines.
Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as unintentional flashing colors or rainbow patterns, that result from composite video signals.
MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static (flicker-free) display image for image sections not containing moving elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements.
