Industry's First 1-Chip Recorder Engine

The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S come with the industry's first 1-chip recorder engine, a revolutionary development from Pioneer in cooperation with a leading device manufacturer, Renesas Technology Corporation. Our state-of-the-art technology has enabled the necessary signal-processing

functions—including high-performance encoding and decoding—to be driven by a single chip, whereas 11 separate chips were needed for previous models. This significantly decreases the system noise, enabling high-quality pictures and a multitude of functions.

10-bit/54MHz DAC for Finely Textured Images

With the Pioneer DVD recorders, video signals undergo the 10-bit/54MHz oversampling processing. This prevents the degradation of video signals and suppresses aliasing noise, allowing you to enjoy images that are most faithful to the original.

Picture Creation

The Picture Creation lets you control the parameters of luminance and color signals to adjust picture quality of the content when it is recorded. This means you can control the picture quality of an old videotape by optimizing parameters when you dub it to a disc.

On DVD, movies are recorded in 24fps format. To play back film-originated sources on TV, therefore, additional frames are inserted for output in the NTSC format (30fps). Pioneer's 2-3 Pull-down PureCinema Progressive Scan Technology features highly accurate insertion and reallocation of frames for progressive scanning. The result: smooth, natural, film- like images free of bothersome artifacts like jagged edges on moving objects.
