Presets

Presets provides a short-cut to common aspect ratio settings.
16:9 Full Frame
Select this mode when both the picture aspect ratio and the active aspect ratio of the
input image are 16:9. If the active aspect ratio is different, there will be black bars on
the sides or on the top and bottom part of your display.
4:3 Full Frame
Select this mode when both the picture aspect and the active format aspect ratio of the
input image are 4:3. For a 16:9 display there will be black bars on the left and right
side of your display.
4:3 Letterbox
Select this mode when the picture aspect ratio is 4:3 but the active format aspect ratio
of the input image has a 16:9 or larger aspect ratio. Some older DVDs are encoded
in this manner. The iScan Duo will vertically stretch the input image to fill the screen.
Panorama
This mode is a variation of the 4:3 Full Frame mode. The iScan Duo stretches the input
image to remove the black bars on both sides of the display. The middle part of the image
is not stretched. Only the left and right side of the image are stretched.
User Preset
Custom aspect ratio settings including picture and active aspect ratios, zoom, stretch and
shift functions will be saved in User Preset.

• PReP
PReP is an exclusive DVDO processing technology developed by Simplay Labs.
™
Standard definition (SD) formats such as 480p, 576p were deinterlaced at some point before
reaching iScan Duo. Deinterlacing is a complex processing technology that has a significant
impact on image quality. The iScan Duo uses Simplay Labs' high performance DVDO precision
deinterlacing.
High definition (HD) formats such as 1080p50 and 1080p60 are also frequently created by
deinterlacing 1080i50 and 1080i60.
PReP accepts one of the formats mentioned, and converts it back into an interlaced format.
It can then be deinterlaced again using the DVDO technology in iScan Duo, which usually
results in a higher quality picture.
The PReP control allows users to disable this function.
480p/576p
1080p 50Hz/60Hz Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 1080p50/60 formats

DeInterlacer

The deinterlacer control is relevant when the input is interlaced (480i, 576i, 1080i50 or 1080i60)
or it is a deinterlaced format and PReP is enabled (480p, 576p, 1080p50 or 1080p60).
Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 480p/576p formats
