Game Mode: faster reaction time

Anchor Bay's Precision Deinterlacing Card offers a Game Mode - What does that mean?

The complex algorithms involved in video processing take time to run. If you're watching a DVD, TV program or a movie, the slight delay between input and output is not apparent, and the quality of the displayed images is of prime importance. However, for gaming applications, the ability to minimize that processing delay is crucial. Many competitive video processors produce upwards of a 7 frame delay as they apply the algorithms. This can mean an unacceptable delay for serious gamers who want a real-time response to their commands in order to get peak performance from their applications.

Anchor Bay's Precision Deinterlacing Card offers two Game Mode settings which allows gamers a choice of reaction speed vs image processing:

• Game Mode 1: slightly less than one frame delay, while still performing edge adaptive deinterlacing.
  
  
• Game Mode 2: will reduce frame delay down to 2 frame delay with edge and motion adaptive processing

The Precision Deinterlacing Card is an optional extension module for the DVDO iScan VP30 or iScan VP20.
