DCDi by Faroudja Directional Correlation Deinterlacing is a digital enhancement method developed by Faroudja in 1996. DCDi technology is primarily used for improving the image quality of low Image resolution resolution images. The DCDi algorithm starts by deinterlacing images, using a number of techniques, including Bad Edit Detection , which detects 24 frame s film sources in 30 frame s video streams, converting the stream back to 24 frame s. The DCDi algorithm also employs edge detection to find the moving edges in a scene and adjust the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it. This eliminates staircasing and or jagged edge artifacts. These techniques won an Emmy Award from National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2001. The DCDi technique is often licensed and used in LCD and plasma television sets, as well as DVD and Blu ray players.

Unreferenced date December 2009 VM Labs was a semiconductor and platform company, founded in 1995 in Los Altos, California . The company s technology and NUON brand was used in DVD players from Toshiba , Samsung and RCA , as well as the Streamaster IP set top box from Motorola . The NUON platform was best known for the 3D videogame titles it brought to DVD players and set top boxes. NUON was also supported by various Hollywood studios with enhanced DVD titles such as Bedazzled and Planet of the Apes. Notable embedded features included Jeff Minter s Virtual Light Machine VLM for music, real time zoom, gamma correction and smooth reverse shuttle. The founder of VM Labs, Richard Miller, was a former vice president of Atari Corporation , and several prominent VM Labs employees including Jeff Minter and John Mathieson were also associated with Atari Corporation. After critical funding collapsed shortly after September 11, 2001 VM Labs was sold to Genesis Microchip after a brief period in Chapter 11 . Genesis Microchip planned to integrate the Nuon and Faroudja technologies for the DVD market, and ultimately used the Nuon technology in HDTV chipsets. History 1995 Company founded in Los Altos, CA.

Unreferenced date January 2009 Image 32pulldown.svg right thumb 250px An illustration of the process. Three two pull down is a term used in filmmaking and television production for the post production process of transferring film to video . Film runs at a standard rate of 24 frames per second , whereas NTSC video has a signal frame rate of 29.97 frames per second. Every interlaced video film frame frame has two fields for each frame. The three two pull down is where the telecine adds a third video field to every second video frame, but the untrained eye can t see the addition of this extra video field . Audio The rate of NTSC video is approximately 29.97 frame per second, or one thousandth slower than 30 frame s, due to the NTSC color encoding process that was corrected by slowing the video down. Although slight, the sync will catch up, and the sound audio can end up being several seconds out of sync with the image. In order to correct this error, the telecine can either pull up or pull down . A pull up will speed up the sound by .1 , used for transferring video to film. A pull down will slow the audio speed down by .1 , necessary for transferring film to video. See also multicol 100 3D LUT Cintel telecine equipment.
