9 SETTINGS (Ctd.)
De-interlacing Mode: To select the type of de-interlacing algorithm that the player
should use to convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive
output. The Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue utilizes the Precision De-interlacing™
technology from VRS™ (Video Reference Series) by Anchor Bay for its HDMI
output. A proper de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video matches the
original contents and is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:
Auto (default) – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the
recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally process a variety of
signal types.
Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve film mode detection in
some cases.
Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat all contents as video
origin. Deinterlacing is done by weaving two video fields into a video frame.
Use this setting if you are certain the disc is made from footage originally
shot with a video camera, and not with a film camera.
2:2 Even - This mode should be used when you know that the source is high-
quality 2:2 pull-down (i.e. film-based content played back in a country with a
50Hz video standard) and want to avoid any loss of cadence lock while
watching that source. This mode weaves two adjacent fields together starting
with an even field and combining it with the following odd field. This will
provide a higher quality overall signal than the 'Auto' or 'Film Bias Mode'
settings, providing that the source really is a 2:2 pull-down and does not have
bad edits.
2:2 Odd - This mode is very similar to "2:2 Even" except that this weaves two
adjacent fields together starting with an odd field and combining it with the
following even field. Only one of the 2:2 de-interlacing settings is correct for
any given source and the correct mode can be chosen by simply trying both
of them and selecting the one which does not result in combing artifacts.
