Faroudja Video Optimized
Faroudja Video Optimized is the latest branding and logo use program available to television and display manufacturers using ST video system-on-chip products integrating Faroudja video processing algorithms. Display products that use the Faroudja Video Optimized logo have met required performance parameters ensuring a superior video experience.
The program parameters cover the complete end-product, from properly programming the video signal processing, to enacting specific procedures for the calibration and optimization of the LCD panel or projector, to result in an accurate high-definition picture.
The logo identifies a higher performance product, calibrated to its maximum potential, and differentiated from others by award-winning video processing.
How does the Faroudja Video Optimized program work?
Instructions are provided to the TV manufacturer on how to maximize the performance of the various advanced video processing algorithms available on the SoC. These include color decoding, deinterlacing, scaling, color processing, sharpness and enhancements, temporal noise reduction and digital noise reduction.
The logo program provides guidelines and flexible tools to the TV manufacturer to calibrate the display to reference standards used in professional video studios. These include extended contrast ratio, rich shadows able to yield subtle details, proper gamma and color temperature, realistic color processing, and excellent detail without excessive enhancement or noise reduction. This ensures that the final image is close to what the movie director had envisaged.
These optimized settings are added during the manufacturing process and stored in a new theme called Faroudja Movie. This theme is in addition to the other themes such as Vivid and Sports. When viewing high-definition movies, either broadcasted or from Blu-ray, selecting the Faroudja Movie theme will result in an accurate, exciting movie experience.
