ADS Technologies HDUP1500 Addendum

HDTV UpConverter
Addendum & User Notes
Since the user manual was written we have added several features and expanded
some capabilities that were not announced in the original product specifications.

Special Note:

Turn off the Progressive Scan setting on your DVD player. When the
UpConverter detects an input as progressive, then most of the video processing is
automatically turned off. The HDTV UpConverter uses sophisticated Motion Adaptive
De-Interlacing, Noise reduction and sharpening filters, to take advantage of this video
processing you need to provide a standard 480i input. When you supply a progressive
input (480p) you rely only on the quality of noise reduction and de-interlacing that your
DVD player provides and you defeat most of the capabilities of the UpConverter.

Video Source Customization Enhancements

Set and Save color/brightness settings by input – You can now change the
brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. settings by input. Select the input and use the on
screen menu to change the settings. Move to the next input and set color and
brightness for that input. All settings are automatically saved.

analyzes the video source and attempts to automatically optimize the sharpness setting.
You can over ride this, but the setting will not be saved.

Video Input menu you can select the input source and choose from a list of names;

signals connected. You can scan through the video inputs and then when you use the
Input button on the remote you will skip to only those inputs that are active or have a
