Lexicon BD-30 manual Setup Menu Options

BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player Setup Menu Options

•On – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. This is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.

•Off – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL).

7.DVD 24p Conversion: To set 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option only applies to the HDMI output and is available only when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to Auto or On). Many DVDs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using a method called “3:2 telecine” to convert the 24 frames per second film to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz video signal back to 24 frames per second and output as 1080p 24Hz. Smoother motion can be achieved by enabling this option, provided that the TV and the disc both meet the conditions for the conversion. The available options are:

•On – Convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible.

•Off – Do not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.

Note

The result of DVD 24p Conversion depends heavily on the quality of the content. If the video encoded on the DVD contains incorrect 3:2 cadence, cadence breaks caused by edits, or heavy compression noise that can affect cadence detection, the result may have motion judder or frame tearing. Should this happen, you need to turn off DVD 24p Conversion and watch the DVD in its original frame rate.

8.HDMI Options: To configure video options that are unique to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu with the following settings:

•De-interlacing Mode – To select the type of de-interlacing algorithm that the player should use to convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output.

The Lexicon BD-30 utilizes the Precision De-interlacing™

technology from VRS™ (Video Reference Series) by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. A proper de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video matches the original contents and is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:

•Auto – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally process a variety of signal types.

•Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve film mode detection in some cases.

•Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat all contents as video origin. Deinterlacing is done by weaving two video fields into a video frame. Use this setting if you are certain the disc is made from footage originally shot with a video camera, and not with a film camera.

•2:2 Even – This mode should be used when you know that the source is high-quality 2:2 pull-down (i.e., film-based content played back in a country with a 50Hz video standard) and you want to avoid any loss of cadence lock while watching that source. This mode weaves two adjacent fields together, starting with an even field and combining it with the following odd field. This will provide a higher quality overall signal than the ‘Auto’ or ‘Film Bias Mode’ settings, providing that the source really is a 2:2 pull-down and does not have bad edits.

•2:2 Odd – This mode is very similar to “2:2 Even” except that this weaves two adjacent fields together starting with an odd field and combining it with the following even field. Only one of the 2:2 de-interlacing settings is correct for any given source and the correct mode can be chosen by simply trying both of them and selecting the one which does not result in combing artifacts.

•CUE-Correction– To select whether the player should apply chroma filtering to remove Chroma Up-sampling
