Video Adjust menu
Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below.
Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1680 × 1050.
Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images.
Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic
modes. PC input: sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.
Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the
entire screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without
distortion, while widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without
distortion but with black bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the
image to fit the entire screen.
Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill
the entire screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input:
Zooms the image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the
left and right sides of the image.
1:1 mode preserves the movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast
or full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image.
PC input: Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars
on the left and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom
of the image (depends on resolution).
Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast
or full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic
mode stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center
of the image distortion free.
Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount
of noise and motion from the video source.
Film Mode Detection—Film Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts
the frame rate of the display for ultimate image quality. Bad Edit Detection and Correction corrects
incorrectly synchronized video.
Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI for optimized video
performance.
DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines.
Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as unintentional flashing colors or rainbow
patterns, that result from composite video signals.
MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static (flicker-free) display image for image
sections not containing moving elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements.
