•DRC® (Digital Reality Creation)-MF VI: Unlike conventional line doublers, the DRC Muttifunction feature replaces the signal's NTSC wavefonn with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three custom palettes.
