Faroudja

DCDi Cinema™

Chipset for Up Scaling to 1080p

IC processor developed by Faroudja®, and first used by Sony,

which will up scale and up convert all video signals (less than 1080p) to 1080p via HDMI

. This chipset corrects image jaggedness;

reduces block noise and reproduces true to original colors. The end result is a beautiful and smooth high definition image.

Cross Media Bar Inspired Graphic User Interface

An on

-screen menu system that simplifies the most complex operations of an

A/V receiver for home theater applications. This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to follow "tree" system and a

blending technique so users know exactly where they are amongst the various settings while still watching their main video source (up

to 1080i). Enhancements made to this year's menu include access to DIGITAL MEDIA PORT accessories, the ability to assign HDMI inputs

and independent A/V sync control for each input. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and whole new experience will be revealed.

HDMI Up Scaling

Video sources connected via composite, S-video and component cables can not only be up converted to a

HDMI™

video output but can also be up scaled from its native signal to 1080p (i.e. 480i to 1080p) thus minimizing the number of

connections needed from the receiver to the television display. HDMI supports resolutions up to 1080p and enables both HD video and

uncompressed streaming audio to be transmitted through a single cable.

Down Conversion

Component and S-video sources can be down converted to lower resolution outputs, thus customizing video

connectivity to home theater requirements from a single source. Also, both receivers can take HD sources from component video and

down convert the signal for use with composite or S-Video ouputs. This is ideal for distributing video through multiple rooms with less

wires.
