1080p Technology
Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 720 x
576 pixels. Today’s newest HDTVs, on the other hand, can display
images with 1920 x 1080 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality image
sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimisation 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 6 times, so pictures are clear and
beautiful.

Information
Recorder Features
Creating an HD image from a non-HD source, requires 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.
Up-Conversion
Conventional
Draws on 7 pixels of
information to generate
1 pixel.
DIGA Progressive Processing
Draws on 60 pixels of
information to generate
1 pixel.
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.
Intelligent i/p Conversion
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 jaggy 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.
Deep Colour
DIGA is Deep Colour ready, which means they can reproduce images
with 12-bit, 4,096-step gradation. You enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-
looking colours, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour
banding.
* The TV must also be Deep Colour compatible. Other TVs will display 8-bit, 256-step
gradation.
With 4,096 gradation steps, colours are smooth,
natural-loocking and beautifully articulated.
With only 256 gradation steps, there is some
colour gradation irregularity.
