It has been designed to deliver the most natural and artifactfree images with smooth motion, true colors and stunning detail that you have ever experienced. 1.
1.3 VIDEO PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY PRIMER Crystalio II gets to the very heart of this problem by a combination of expert video engineering design from Pixel Magic together with the awesome power of the Gennum Visual Excellence Processing (VXP) image processor. Crystalio II is the first video processor on the market to use the latest Gennum VXP processor so, if you want to enjoy the benefit of the new benchmarks for video realism and processing flexibility, Crystalio II is your video processor of choice.
FAROUDJA TECHNOLOGIES: DCDi® DCDi® eliminates the jaggedness that conventional up-converters cause to diagonal edges in video. DCDi®’s unique algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION 3.1 COMPATIBLE EQUIPMENT In simple terms, Crystalio II serves as a video processor which enhances video signals from source devices and then delivers the enhanced video signal to the display devices.
referred to as SVHS. 5 Composite - the most common and lowest performing video connection. TIPS: It is recommended that you try to bypass any internal processing in your source by choosing the output signal that matches the media type. For example, choose the interlaced output from your DVD player or standard definition set-top-box instead of the progressive (e.g. 480i instead of 480p).
4. BASIC SETUP 4.1 CONFIGURE YOUR VIDEO SOURCE Even if your standard definition video source has the option to output progressive video (denoted by a number and then the letter ‘p’, for example 480p), for maximum results, it is recommended to disable such an option and select interlaced video mode instead (denoted by a number and then the letter ‘i’, for example 480i). Crystalio II features state-of-the-art technology specifically designed to convert interlaced video into progressive video.

4.6.2 OUTPUT 50HZ OR 60HZ AUTOMATICALLY If your display supports 50Hz input and can produce real 50Hz refresh rate video image*, it is better to configure Crystalio II to output 50Hz resolution when source video is 50Hz (i.e. PAL signal); and output 60Hz resolution when the source video is 60Hz (i.e. NTSC signal). This is because the output video will be perfectly smooth if the refresh rate of video image displayed is the same as that of the video source.
• If you are not sure which video level is correct, leave it at the default setting.
4.6.3.2 CALIBRATE THE VIDEO LEVEL AND COLOR BALANCE OF YOUR VIDEO SOURCES Once you have calibrated your display for correct video output levels and color balance, you don’t have to calibrate your video sources if they also have correct video level and color balance. But in practice, however, most of the video sources will still have some form of problem with video levels or color balance and we have to calibrate them one by one for perfect results.
Step 6: Repeat step 3 to step 5 until the brightness and contrast settings need not be changed, and R/G/B Offset and R/G/B Gain settings of the video source are satisfactory. Step 7: If the color balance of the video source still isn’t satisfactory after the R/G/B Offsets and Gains have been calibrated, use Crystalio II’s Advanced Gamma Correction* function to make further adjustments.
If your projector’s native output is 4:3 (e.g. some 1400x1050 LCOS projectors) and you are using an anamorphic lens to compress it to show a 16:9 image, you need to configure the Screen Shape to be 16:9 instead of the default 4:3. Follow the steps below: • Press the Menu remote control key to enter the OSD (On Screen Display) menu • Select Output then Screen Shape • Configure Screen Shape as 16:9 instead of the default 4:3 4.6.
refresh rate. For example, let’s take a 1280 x 720 @ 60Hz timing which has 720 active lines, a vertical front porch of 3, a vertical sync width of 7 and a vertical back porch of 23. Total vertical figure becomes 753; multiply this by the vertical refresh rate of 60 and the answer is 45180. Divide by 1000 for a horizontal scan rate of 45.180 KHz • Horizontal timing specifications do not affect the horizontal scan rate.
4.7.3 BASIC CALIBRATION See Section 4.6.3 for help with picture calibration. Most of the basic steps for pixel-based displays apply except for CRT projectors. They may have more control over color balance, which generally involves the ability to calibrate and store color balance per projector source memory. Setting contrast or peak white level is more difficult with a CRT projector as the blue tube will normally be close to beam current-limiting at full IRE100 output over the whole screen.
