ISF (Image Science Foundation) Video
Calibration for Accurate Video
Reproduction
The TX-NR1008 is equipped with industry-leading
ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration
to dramatically improve your home cinema by
enabling you to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast,
saturation, and gamma levels on all video inputs.
Transforming your A/V receiver into a video hub,
this function ensures that every video source is
independently calibrated for your connected high-
definition display. What’s more, ISF video calibration
has been shown to improve energy savings in
displays and projectors by up to 50%.
HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with
Faroudja DCDi Cinema™
When it comes to video processing, Faroudja DCDi
Cinema offers several advantages. This processor can
accept any video signal, regardless of the source
resolution, and upscale it to 1080p to match the
native resolution of your high-definition display.
What’s more, DCDi Cinema effectively removes
video artifacts such as jagged edges during the video
signal deinterlacing process. You get to enjoy smooth
progressive scan video images, even for fast-moving
sports and action scenes.
Playback of Different Audio Sources in
Up to Three Rooms
With Powered Zone 2/3, you can enjoy surround-
sound entertainment in the main room, while
playing back different stereo sources in a second
and third zone, each equipped with a pair of
speakers. Alternatively, you can use the Zone 2 and
Zone 3 pre-outs to send separate, unamplified
audio signals to amplifiers (and speakers) in a
second and third room. Naturally, you also have the
option of distributing the same audio source to two
or three zones simultaneously.
PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Jitter-Cleaning
Circuit Technology
Jitter is an unwanted side-effect of the digital-to-
analog conversion process. Caused by fluctuations in
the time domain of a digital signal, jitter has a
detrimental impact on perceived audio quality. PLL
jitter-cleaning circuit technology reduces jitter by
comparing the input and output phases of the digital
signal and creating an accurate clock waveform. This
enhances the precision of digital signal processing
and noticeably improves audio quality. Jitter-cleaning
technology works both for digital signals input via
HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog
signals inside the receiver itself.
