Vantage-HD Scaler to Make its UK Debut at the Smart Home Show 2006 in Birmingham
Few people realize that when they purchase their first High Definition TV set that the majority of TV programming is still delivered as standard definition. Even true HDTV transmissions, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD sources are often still interlaced or have significant noise and compression artifacts present. To make matters worse, in order to fill a high resolution HDTV screen, the SD image has to be enlarged but then all the flaws in the original image are enlarged too. This is why so many home cinema viewers find that their new projector, plasma or LCD doesn’t provide the expected increase in image quality and may even appear more noisy or less clear than their old SD system or CRT set.
