• High values of smoothness can reduce the “Staircase” effect when the resolution of the input
video source is low, or when it has a certain degree of pixelization
• Low values of smoothness can make the image look sharper
• Following are some suggestions for setting Smooth Scaling:
• Set 0, when:
• your source is HD, and
• you have a high resolution display device
• the fill factor* of your display device is high (e.g. CRT, LCOS, or SXRD projector)
• Set 1, when:
• your source is HD, but
• your display device resolution is not high, or
• the fill factor* of your display device is low (e.g. LCD projector, Plasma display)
• Set 2, when:
• your source is SD, and
• your display device resolution is not high, or
• the fill factor* of your display device is low
• Set 3, when:
• Your source is SD, and
• Your display device resolution is low, and
• The fill factor* of your display device is low
• Set a negative value if:
• You don’t care about pixelization, and
• You want the image to look sharp
* Fill factor is the size of a pixel, divided by the size of the gap between two pixels plus the size of a pixel. (or the size
of a pixel, divided by the distance between two pixels).
