MOVING PIXEL PROCESSING

Pixels for moving objects are created by composing pixels from the scanning lines immediately above and below in the same field. This minimizes motion blur.

Thanks to Sony's flexible approach, still backgrounds are impressively sharp and detailed, while moving objects in the same scene are free from motion artifacts. You'll see more consistent, more satisfying, more seamless 480P output with a wider variety of discs. The visibility of scanning lines is all but eliminated. Connect a 480P-compatible television, monitor or projector and prepare to be amazed.

Just as you can adjust the threshold of film/video detection, you can optimize the still/motion detection for the specific requirements of the DVD you're watching. As before, the players can memorize your Still/Motion threshold for up to 400 discs. So each time you play a title, you'll automatically get just the right conversion!

You can adjust the Still/Motion detection threshold with this on-screen display. As before, your setting for each disc can be stored in memory.

Vertical Edge Compensation

As we've seen, Sony's Pixel-by-Pixel Active I/P conversion of video sources suppresses the zipper-like effect that can occur when moving areas of two interlaced fields are combined in the same progressive frame. It's a major step forward in picture quality. But there a second, less obvious artifact that can
