Native Rate Series

    For almost 30 years Faroudja has been the reference of excellence for video technology used world wide for large screen Corporate, Staging and Home applications. The benefits of such video processing expertise are now available in a more affordable configuration to exactly match the growing market of mid-priced digital LCD, DLP and plasma displays. 

    As with our other processors the NR Series takes a no compromise approach to image quality using Faroudja's award-winning patented high performance technology in a new innovative configuration. Each processor is optimized for the display. By combining the most appropriate resolution with signal processing, including Faroudja's patented Bandwidth Expansion circuit,
    the unit will provide the cleanest, sharpest image possible for that display. It offers a simple and effective solution to the complicated challenges of creating high quality video. By combining a NR Series unit with every display, you can be sure the processing will be optimized ensuring excellent images and correct operation.

    Native Rate Series
    Digital Video Processor -Aspect Ratio Controller

    Resolution Selection
    For the best image possible the digital display must operate at the proper resolution. In some cases this is the display's native resolution. In others, due to the display's menu structure, an alternative resolution will yield the best results. When a unit in the NR Series is ordered, the display type is specified. The unit is then optimized for that display. This configuration has two
    benefits; first the display will be sent the signal that provides the highest quality and second, since the scan rate of the display does not change, the NR Series does not add expensive, and unnecessary, variable rate scaling.
    Image Optimizing
    Truelife™ Enancer is a critical patented non-linear detail processing circuit in the NR Series. Bandwidth Expansion technology is implemented after the scaling stage. It is then optimized for the specific rate in the processor, using six different fine-tune adjustments for horizontal and vertical edge information, greatly increasing the apparent resolution without "ringing" artifacts.
    Motion
    Patented Directional Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDi™) applies new motion adaptive deinterlacing that prevents the introduction of motion artifacts and jagged edges from video signals that originated from video cameras (such as with sporting events, live camera feeds and music videos).
    Patented 3/2 pull-down circuit with advanced edit detection is used for video signals that originated from film cameras for exact reconstruction of the original film frame without introducing motion artifacts. The advanced edit detection is critical to track today's videos that typically are filled with fast edits that combine both film and video originated sources.
    Color 
    Faroudja has long been known for offering the best color decoding technology. The NR Series offers patented 10-bit adaptive comb filtering with Cross-Color suppression (rainbow pattern artifact) and a two line Time Base Corrector. Bandwidth Expansion is applied to the color signal for further improvements in color resolution. HDTV YPrPb to RGB transcoding is also included. 
    Controller 
    The NR Series offers aspect ratio and image alignment controls ensuring that it will integrate effortlessly with all types of displays.
