Scanning
Pixels for moving objects are created by composing pixels from the
scanning lines immediately above and below in the same field. This
minimizes motion blur.
Thanks to Sony's flexible approach, still backgrounds are impressively
sharp and detailed, while moving objects in the same scene are free from motion
artifacts. You'll see more consistent, more satisfying, more seamless 480P
output with a wider variety of discs. The visibility of scanning lines is all but
eliminated. Connect a 480P-compatible television, monitor or projector and
prepare to be amazed.
Just as you can adjust the threshold of film/video detection, you can
optimize the still/motion detection for the specific requirements of the DVD you're
watching. As before, the players can memorize your Still/Motion threshold for up
to 400 discs. So each time you play a title, you'll automatically get just the right
conversion!
You can adjust the Still/Motion detection threshold with this on-screen
display. As before, your setting for each disc can be stored in memory.
As we've seen, Sony's Pixel-by-Pixel Active I/P conversion of video
sources suppresses the zipper-like effect that can occur when moving areas of
two interlaced fields are combined in the same progressive frame. It's a major
step forward in picture quality. But there a second, less obvious artifact that can
