Sharp XV-Z17000 3D 1080p DLP Video Projector - Deinterlacing/Scaling Tests

In order to test the video performance of the Sharp XV-Z17000, when faced with standard resolution content source, I used the standardized HQV DVD Benchmark Test Disc from Silicon Optix (IDT). The test disc has a series of patterns and images that test how well a video processor in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, TV, Video Projector, or Home Theater Receiver can display a good quality image with a low resolution or poor quality input source.

In this Step-by-Step gallery, the results of several of the tests listed in the list above are shown.

Screen shots were obtained using a Sony DSC-R1 Digital Still Camera. All photos were taken at 10 megapixels and resized for posting.

1. Using an OPPO Digital DV-980H DVD Player, I set the output resolution to 480i, and connected the Composite (yellow) video output to the matching composite video input on the Sharp XV-Z17000.

2. I inserted a Silicon Optix test disc in the DVD player and ran through a series of tests designed detect the deinterlacing and scaling ability of the Sharp XV-Z17000.
