Fine Detail & Edge Enhancement

Sharpness controls are not new in the world of video - nearly every TV sold in the last 20 years features a sharpness control. However, sharpening controls merely accentuates medium detail at the expense of fine detail and often adds horrible "halos" around the edges and lines. While this trick was a reasonable approach for standard definition TV, when screen sizes were well under 30 inches, today's large screen TVs and HDTVs have made traditional sharpness controls highly undesirable since the damage they cause is now magnified with such larger screens. In addition, traditional sharpening controls tend to exaggerate any noise in the image by making it more pronounced so noise becomes even more pronounced when viewed on a large screen HDTV.

Anchor Bay has designed VRS Precision Detail & Edge Enhancement with large screen HDTVs in mind. Using patent pending technology, VRS Precision Detail & Edge Enhancement is able to isolate areas of the image where hard edges are prevalent and increase fine details without adding halos or ringing. The net effect is quite extraordinary - images have more "pop" and fine detail such as blades of grass or even the pores on an actor's face are drawn out making your large screen HDTV even more enjoyable. Moreover, VRS Precision Noise Reduction can be used to remove objectionable ringing and noise in the image before using VRS Precision Detail & Edge Enhancement to draw out the fine details in the image."
