This lets you enjoy beautiful images by taking full advantage of the capabilities of your HDTV. The conversion process boosts the amount of image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear & beautiful. Experience standard definition images in 1080p glory with Panasonics upscaling technology. Ordinary TV broadcasts & DVD discs provide SD images with 576 x 640 or 576 x 720 pixels. Today’s newest HDTVs on the other hand can display images with 1080 x 1920 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 & 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 5 times, so pictures are clear & beautiful. The information obtained in this process is used to create smooth, natural-looking, high-resolution 1080p images. Up-Conversion Creating a 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 & eight pixels 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.
