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, providing
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.
