OPPO DV-983H 480i/480p Deinterlacing/1080p Scaling Test Results - Title Test

Even though a DVD player's video processor may be able detect the difference between video and film-based sources, such as shown in the previous photo, can it detect both of them at the same time? The reason this is important is that often, video titles (moving at 30 frames per second) are laid over film (which is moving at 24 frames per second). This can cause problems as the combination of both these elements can result in artifacts that make the titles look jagged or broken. However, in this case, if the DVD player's video processor can detect the differences between the titles and the rest of the image, the titles should appear smooth.

In this photo you can see examples, in the upper left hand corner, of what both a good and poor result might look like. As you can see in the real world example in the larger image, the letters are smooth (the blurriness is due to the camera's shutter) and compares much more closely with example of how they should look, as opposed to the example of how they should not look. Once again, the DV-983H passes the test.

Final Note

As the photos in this gallery have illustrated, the Anchor Bay VRS video processing system that is employed by the OPPO DV-983H does an excellent job in factors such as deinterlacing and noise reduction, which is the foundation of a good DVD viewing experience.
