THE TOTAL CALIBRATION SOLUTION
The DVDO iScan Duo video processor is a revolutionary product, a true game
changer. Here's why: Until now there was always one weak link in the chain of
video calibration. If your display lacked the proper set of calibration
controls, it simply didn't matter if you had an extremely accurate meter and the
world's greatest software. Without the means to adjust the image, you could not
improve the display regardless of whatever calibration equipment you used.
The only solution to this problem was an external device that provided the
necessary adjustments that you could place in between the source material
(broadcast, DVD, or Blu-ray) and the display. Unfortunately, there were very few
such devices available. There are full-featured video processor like the
Radiance that did the job, but they are more
expensive and out of reach for many users. There were also more affordable
PC-based solutions, but these devices lacked a robust feature set and required
adding a computer to your home entertainment system. The Duo changes all of
this.
It is first and foremost a full-featured video processor designed from the
ground up as an user-friendly addition to a quality home theater installation.
It offers the following:
- Numerous inputs (analog and digital)
- Transcoding of analog inputs into digital
outputs
- World-class scaling and deinterlacing for
standard and high definition sources
- Noise reduction
- Detail enhancement
- Aspect ratio control
- Selectable output format, including up to
1080p
- User-friendly remote control with on-screen
display
With all of these features, the Duo is much like a high-end home theater
receiver without the amplifier section. However, what makes the Duo truly
special is the comprehensive set of video calibration controls it also offers.
These include:
- Comprehensive set of video test patterns
- 11-point greyscale adjustment
- 11-point gamma adjustment
- Full 3D color management, offering
adjustments to the brightness, hue, and saturation of all of the primary and
secondary colors
These controls allow a user or calibrator to dial in an image to near
perfection. Before the Duo, there simply was no product on the market that
offered this mix of powerful video processing, user-friendliness, and a full set
of calibration tools at anywhere near the price of the Duo.
The DVDO Duo may be adjusted manually or using
ChromaPure Auto-Calibrate which allows anyone with little or no training
in video technology to fully calibrate their display with almost no user input.
Just setup a few simple options, click Auto-Calibrate, and then just go have a
cup of coffee while the process completes, usually in less than 10 minutes.

Specifications/Features
Precision Deinterlacing™
480i/576i/1080i 10-bit Motion, Edge & Source-Adaptive Deinterlacer
- Five-field motion adaptive deinterlacing
- Edge adaptive processing for smooth
diagonal edges
- Three frame video processing delay (Max)
- Game Modes with very low latency
- Sub-1 frame delay with edge adaptive
processing

PReP®, Progressive
ReProcessing
Recovers the original interlaced fields from deinterlaced progressive formats
such as 480p, 576p and 1080p. The original interlaced source can then be
deinterlaced by VRS Precision Deinterlacing technology to produce a higher
quality progressive image.
Precision Video Scaling™
10-bit high definition video scaler supporting 1080p input and output
Mosquito Noise Reduction - reduces random noise which appears along
the edges of compressed images
Fine Detail Enhancement - to extract fine detail in low-resolution or
compressed sources
Edge Enhancement - to sharpen edges without adding any ringing
Progressive Cadence Detection™
Enables 24/48/72Hz and 25/50/75Hz output from film-based content at 480p,
576p, 720p and 1080p resolutions
