Sharpness
The Minimum setting is advisable if MPEG artefacts (little blocks)
are visible and interfere with the picture (the picture is being
transmitted with a data rate that is too low). In the case of analogue
sources (e.g. video recorder), the Maximum setting can bring about
an improvement. In other cases, the Normal setting is advisable.
> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Sharpness item.
> Use the right/left arrow buttons to set the sharpness to
Minimum, Normal or Maximum.
Noise suppression only picture settings
The visual impression when viewing noisy sources (e.g. an old
fi lm) can be improved with noise suppression. This improvement,
however, also results in a smearing effect seen during movements.
Staircase reduction
(only picture settings)
The staircase reduction setting optimises the footage recorded with
a television camera (interlaced) for progressive display on an LCD
screen. The picture recorded by a fi lm camera is not affected by this.
It is advisable to activate staircase reduction.
> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Staircase
reduction item.
> Use the up/down arrow buttons to switch staircase reduction
On or Off.
Motion compensation
(only picture settings)
The motion compensation feature prevents a bothersome
shuddering effect that can be seen during movement (in particular
during camera panning) when fi lm footage is played back.
In contrast with television cameras, which record 50 frames per
second, fi lm cameras record only 24 frames. This is not high
enough for fast movements. The motion compensation feature
therefore uses motion analysis to compute intermediate pictures
in a complicated computational process during running time. The
motion compensation feature should be activated.
> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Motion
compensation item.
> Use the up/down arrow buttons to switch motion compensation
On or Off.
Aspect ratio
This setting lets you decide how programmes broadcast in 4:3 format
(standard television format) are displayed on your 16:9 widescreen
television. With the Original setting you can achieve undistorted
playback that is true to the original. Naturally you will see black bars
on the left and right of the picture.
The Always 16:9 setting zooms into the originally narrow picture so
that it fi lls the entire width of your 16:9 screen. Although the black
bars disappear accordingly, the geometry of the displayed picture is
distorted (e.g. eggheads).
The Optimal setting is a compromise. In this case the geometry is
only slightly distorted so that faces still appear natural. In addition,
some picture information is cut off from the top and bottom.
This is generally not bothersome because broadcasters do not place
