| 1080p Technology |
  |
|
Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 480 x 640
pixels or 480 x 720 pixels. Today's newest HDTVs, on the other hand,
can display images with 1080 x 1920 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality
image sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimization
process for high-quality images is inadequate, the picture can become
blurry or grainy. DIGA's original i/p conversion and up-conversion
functions solve this problem. These functions convert SD signal from
DVD discs or DIGA's own hard disk drive into 1080p signals that provide
high-resolution images. The conversion process boosts the amount of
image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear and
beautiful.

Up-Conversion
|
| |
Creating an HD image from a non-HD source, it requires obtain as much
information as possible about each pixel in the original image. In the
up-conversion process, DIGA calculates eight pixels in the horizontal
direction and eight in the vertical direction at the same time using a
high-speed algorithm. The information obtained in this process is used
to create smooth, natural-looking, high-resolution 1080p images.

Intelligent i/p Conversion
|
| |
DIGA uses Precision Pixel Generation technology in combination with
three advanced functions - Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive, Diagonal
Processing, and 2:2 Detection and Processing - to apply the type of i/p
conversion that best suits the image.
|
 |
Precise Pixel Generation |
 |
| |
Using
a high-speed algorithm, this technology generates a new pixel for an
image area from information obtained from 60 neighboring pixels. |
|
Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive |
 |
| |
This
function detects motion in the image and classifies it into one of four
levels. It then applies the type of processing that's best suited to
the level of motion. |
|
Diagonal Processing |
 |
| |
This
function detects where there are diagonal lines in an image such as a
building, and eliminates jaggies to make the lines smooth and razor
sharp. |
|
2:2 Detection and Processing |
| |
This
function determines whether the playback source is a film or video. It
then applies the most suitable type of i/p conversion accordingly. |

VIERA Link |
|
The TV menu screen switches seamlessly to the DIGA menu screen for easy DIGA operation. |
|
DIGA Menu Operation |
| |
Suppose
that while you are watching one TV program you decide that you want to
play a previously recorded program, or set the unit to record a future
broadcast. Simply press the VIERA Link button, and the TV screen
switches to the VIERA Link menu screen. After selecting the DVD
recorder on the menu screen, it allows you to set timer recordings or
use playback functions on the fly. |
| |
 |
|
Direct Navigator Operation |
| |
If
you want to view previously recorded content, after the DIGA menu
appears on the screen simply select ''Playback'' Video thumbnails of
recorded content will then appear on the screen. Select the desired
thumbnail, and playback will begin immediately. |
| |
 |
|
Recording |
| |
When
you want to program DIGA to record a broadcast, select ''Recording''
when the DIGA menu appears on the screen. You can select the desired
channel and set up the recording schedule easily. |
| |
 |
| Super Multi-format Recording & Playback |
|
|
All DIGA DVD recorders offer the ease and convenience of Super
Multi-Format Recording and Playback, which lets users play all of their
DVDs, regardless of the recording format. DIGA models can record and
play back DVD-RAM1, DVD-R1 2, DVD-R DL1 2 3, DVD-RW1 2, +R, +R DL3, +RW discs. So you don't have to worry about whether your DIGA can play back everything in your current video library.
|
1 Including CPRM-compatible DVD Discs.
2 Recording is possible only in DVD-Video format.
3 You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL disc. Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
|
 |
VR
format recording is possible only with DVD-RAM. Playback is not
possible for DVD-R, DVD-R DL discs that were recorded in VR format by a
different recorder. Playback is possible with DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW
discs that were recorded and finalised in DVD-Video format by a
different recorder.
