[Deinterlace-discuss] Is a non-linear stretch mode planned?

[Daniel S. <dsc...@ho...>]

Hi All--

Interesting requests from SteveT on AVS Forum at:

http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/006836.html

"First, let me say thanks to all the dTV developers for making this awesome 
piece of software available. This work of art the rivals (and in many ways 
is better than) the Genesis de-interlacer in my Philips 64PH9905 HD 
RPTV--particularly with dss and video game sources.

I have a question however, regarding the "stretch" mode. Since the majority 
of dss programming is in 4:3 AR, I have gotten quite used to using the 
9905's "Panoramic" video mode. This mode stretches the edges of the image 
but leaves the center untouched. The result of this non-linear stretch is a 
good alternative to viewing 4:3 material on a 16:9 screen. And while not 
perfect, it is far less distracting than a linear stretch where the entire 
image is stretched horizontally. I believe the type of viewing mode is 
standard on most, if not all HD and HD Ready sets. IMHO, it would be a 
wonderful addition to dTV's feature set.

On a similar topic, are there any plans to incorporate any form of image 
"orbiting" (a la yXy) to reduce image burn-in when watching letterboxed or 
side-paneled material?

Thanks again for the wonderful work!

Regards -- Steve"
