CyberLink PowerDVD 6's superior DVD playback is delivered via four major video technologies refined especially for PC-based audio-video systems. In fact, CyberLink's video technologies let users enjoy brighter, more natural images, and smoother DVD playback, as well as output onto standard-size and wide-screen displays.

This article introduces these four advanced video technologies: second-generation CyberLink Eagle Vision (CLEV-2), Smart Video Deinterlacing, CyberLink Pano Vision (CLPV), and support for high-definition video.

1. CyberLink Eagle Vision 2 (CLEV-2)
CyberLink's second-generation dynamic video adjustment technology creates brighter luminance and more natural colors during DVD playback - especially on liquid crystal displays. Images are improved using an adaptive luminance adjustment based on time, with frames analyzed before and after the current scene to smooth out any adjustments to colors and contrast.

CyberLink's solution eliminates the problems created by linear-based technology that often over-compensate brightness, contrast and saturation. CyberLink Eagle Vision 2 leverages recent improvements in PC hardware and processing power, and creates images that appear better than their original playback quality.

 

 

2. Smart Video Deinterlacing
Smart Video Deinterlacing uses intelligent frame-by-frame analysis and an adaptive deinterlacing technique to produce ultra-smooth video playback.

PowerDVD decides which scenes require deinterlacing and compensates for wrongly encoded video using a pull-down detection process. Using this process Smart Video Deinterlacing eliminates the ghosting, feathering and unwanted image elements found in other playback applications. PowerDVD 6 also provides greater choice of deinterlacing technologies by allowing users to select from Bob, Median, and Pixel-Adaptive modes.

3. CyberLink Pano Vision (CLPV)
CyberLink Pano Vision maximizes playback flexibility by supporting both 4:3 and 16:9 DVD content and PC monitors. PowerDVD applies a non-linear stretching technique to expand images of 4:3 video to fit a wide-screen monitor, or shrinks 16:9 video to fit standard-size monitors.

4. High Definition Video
High-definition video is supported, enabling playback of WMV HD and MPEG-2 HD files, maximizing users' enjoyment of high-definition content played back on high-definition hardware.

CyberLink has incorporated these technologies into PowerDVD 6. For more information, click here.
