1080p Up Conversion

High Definition TVs were developed to produce beautiful, high-resolution pictures. However, so long as the TV signals are being broadcast in conventional standard-definition (SD) formats, it is impossible to achieve true HD quality on the screen.

With DIGA the story is different. Simply connect your DIGA to your HDTV using a HDMI cable, and DVD recordings as well as TV programmes are automatically up-converted to HDTV compatible 1080p HD signals. This lets you enjoy beautiful images by taking full advantage of the capabilities of your HDTV.

1080p Technology
Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 576 x 640 or 576 x 720 pixels. Today’s newest HDTVs on the other hand can display images with 1080 x1920 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality image sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimisation process for high-quality images is inadequate, the picture can become blurry or grainy.

DIGA's original i/p conversion and up-conversion functions solve this problem. These functions convert SD signal from DVD discs or DIGA’s own hard disk drive into 1080p signals that provide high resolution images. The conversion process boosts the amount of image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear and beautiful.

Up-Conversion
Creating a HD image from a non-HD source requires as much information as possible about each pixel in the original image. In the up-conversion process, DIGA calculates eight pixels in the horizontal and eight pixels in the vertical direction at the same time using a high-speed algorithm. The information obtained in this process is used to create smooth, natural-looking, high-resolution 1080p images.
