and format conversion technologies in a single box and delivers unprecedented high
quality video in home theaters at an affordable price.
Technologies including Genesis Microchip's Emmy award winning DCDi™and TrueLife®are
employed to provide impressive de-interlaced processing and outstanding picture quality.
Plasma Enhancer®is equipped with the new Philips 5th generation high quality analog TV
tuner MK5™. Boasting a best-in-class noise figure of less than 5dB throughout the
frequency range, and with improved sensitivity, Plasma Enhancer®offers crystal clear
analog TV reception quality.

SDI-input
SDI (Serial Digital Interface)
is an established standard
used by the professional
broadcast industry. The SDI
input of Plasma Enhancer
®
Pro allows zero picture
quality loss as the video is
transported from SDI
equipped DVD player/set
top-box to Plasma Enhancer®.
The HDMI™output of Plasma
Enhancer®plus the SDI input
represents a full-digital signal
path from the video source
to the digital display devices
without any signal
degradation caused by
unnecessary digital-to-analog
or analog-to-digital
conversion.
DCDi
™
Video material is analyzed at
single pixel granularity to
detect the presence or
absence of angled lines and
edges, which are then
processed to produce a
smooth and natural looking
image without visible
artifacts or “jaggies”.
DCDi™eliminates jagged
edges normally seen on
angled lines in motion video,
creating smooth and
natural-looking images.
Philips MK5™high
quality analog tuner
Plasma Enhancer®is
equipped with the latest
Philips 5th generation high
quality analog TV tuner
MK5™. Boasting a best-inclass noise figure of less
than 5dB throughout the
frequency range, and with
improved selectivity, Plasma
Enhancer®offers crystal clear
analog TV reception quality.
NICAM audio decoding is
included in the European
version.
Off-Air-NoiseTerminator
™
The motion adaptive noise
reduction algorithm
effectively reduces the video
noise of off-air material.
Broadcast TV programs now
become much more
enjoyable.
Spouse Friendly
™
remote control
Each Plasma Enhancer®is
shipped with two different
remotes. One is a full
feature remote for the
owner; another one is a
smaller, simpler and
easier-to-use remote
specially designed for your
family members. Now they
can operate a Plasma
Enhancer®as easily as
operating a TV.
TV Commander
™
Plasma Enhancer®is the only
video processor which can
learn the common infrared
remote control signals of
your TV (power, volume
up/down, switching AV
inputs) and control your TV
by transmitting the learnt
signals through a wired
infrared transmitter.
Now you can control both
your video processor and
your TV with one single
remote control.
Pixel Magic System
™
Pixel Magic System™ is a
set of tools for users to
configure the video output
of Plasma Enhancer®,
ensuring that it is mapped
to digital displays in Pixel
Perfect mode (1:1 pixel
mapping). Without Pixel
Magic System™, a video
processor can not ensure it
can map to digital displays
pixel by pixel to produce
crystal clear images even if
it can output to the native
resolution of the display.
This is because pixel clock
and phase are perfectly
matching can not be
perfectly verified.
TrueLife
™
TrueLife™enhancement
uses non-linear algorithms
to enhance the small details
and colors in images, and
improve depth perception
by sharpening large edges
without introducing visual
artifacts or distortion.
The overall result is a richer,
more pleasing, high
definition-like picture.
