Bridging the gap: DVD to HDTV
You've just purchased a big-screen flat panel HDTV. Thanks to its high definition 720p or 1080p resolution, you're prepared to experience HD television programming, incredible Blu-ray Disc media, and your old DVD collection. Whoa! Hold on a second! "My old DVD collection?", you might be thinking. Let us rephrase: "you're ready to rediscover your old DVD collection as you've never seen it before". Thanks to its built-in video-upconversion technology, the Toshiba SD7200 enhances the standard-definition video found on DVD to near-HD 720p, 1080i, and even 1080p levels, ideal for viewing on your new HDTV. Yes, there's a place in the new HD world for your DVDs, too.
Step into the ColorStream
Discover a DVD video experience with enhanced color purity and image detail. Discover the SD7200 DVD player with ColorStream progressive-scan output from Toshiba. Most DVD video content uses interlaced scanning to write each frame of a movie on the screen, a process that involves writing first all of the odd, then all of the even pixel lines. Because each frame is displayed in two parts, interlaced scanning often reproduces images with visual artifacts that reduce the smoothness and detail of the moving image. When you use the SD7200's ColorStream component-video output to connect to a progressive-scan TV, on the other hand, you experience standard-definition DVD video enhanced by progressive scanning. This method writes all of a frame's pixel lines simultaneously, dramatically improving transitions for enhanced smoothness. A more stable and fluid image also helps to improve color purity. Toshiba's SD7200 serves up a DVD video experience optimized for your progressive-scan-capable TV.
It's a multi-format world out there
These days, the audio and video found on DVD and CD discs come in a huge variety of formats. Not only does one find standard "DVD" and "CD", but such recordable versions as "DVD+RW" and "CD-R", too. And then there are photo formats like JPEG and compressed-audio formats like MP3. Keeping you prepared for audio, video, and photos from a variety of sources, Toshiba's SD4200 supports multiple A/V formats, ranging from DVD and CD to a range of recordable DVD and CD formats, and from JPEG photo files to MP3 and WAV audio. The SD7200 even plays video content from VCD and SVCD discs and DivX video recorded to disc from the internet.
