TVBOX Instruction

Instruction

The TVBox uses the professional progressive scanning TV (DPTV) chip, which adopts
enhanced features such as black level stretch, video noise suppression (de-noise),
and 3D motion compensation to offer clearer and brighter pictures and stronger three­dimensional perception.

In addition, its specic, improved frequency-scanning technology increases the frequency

refresh rate from original 50Hz to 60Hz or 75Hz* (optional), which effectively overcomes

the large area and interline icker in picture caused by the lower refresh frequency (50Hz

only) of ordinary TV, giving the picture display higher stability, and reducing the visual
fatigue due to long TV watching.

The TVBox supports 4:3 CRT, 4:3 LCD and 16:9 widescreen LCD Monitor. It has improved
the refresh rate and the resolution. It has also solved the problem of the ordinary PC TV
receiver that is not compatible with LCD monitor. This product helps you easily connect to
LCD monitor and enjoy the wide screen and comfort of LCD technology.

The TVBox has PIP (Picture In Picture) function at PC mode, which allows you to enjoy
wonderful TV programs while operating PC, so neither work nor entertainment is held
up. Furthermore, it has multi-channel preview function, which enables you to view the
program of each channel conveniently.

In addition, the TVBox has 3D noise reduction function, which makes the picture more

exquisite, clearer and more stable.
