Precision . . . upscale . . Sony DVD
Let's call it a chasm. A gulf. An abyss, even. Whatever you call it, there's a gap between the standard definition video on all of your favorite DVDs and the Full HD capabilities of your flat panel HDTV. That is, a gap to the tune of 1.7 million pixels of resolution, detail, realism, whatever. So, naturally you must be thinking that the arrival of your HDTV effectively spells lights-out for your DVD library. And you'd maybe be right, that is, if it weren't for the Sony DVP-SR500H DVD player with video-upscaling technology. Using advanced video-processing techniques and the expanded data-transmission capacity of HDMI output, this single-disc player is able to enhance standard definition DVD video to near-HD, 1080p-equivalent levels. In fact, it can upscale SD 480i video all the way to 720p, 1080i, and1080p resolutions, serving up a perfect match for your HDTV's display capacity. Further, ensuring stunning video reproduction regardless of the source, the DVP-SR500H's Precision Cinema Progressive technology employs unique algorithms to isolate and process still and moving picture elements at the pixel level, achieving exceptional fidelity and clarity. Finally, a Precision Drive 3 system detects and corrects for warping or surface blemishes on discs, delivering smooth playback.
Photos on your HDTV . . . that's Photo TV HD
Sure, your big-screen HDTV does a great job bringing a cinema-sized video experience into your home. But it's got potential for more than that. Imagine sharing all your digital photos on 50+ inches of HD splendor. Well, thanks to the DVP-SR500H's Photo TV HD mode, you can do just that. Not only does this Sony DVD player support playback of a variety of DVD and CD formats, but it also supports JPEG photos recorded onto DVD and CD media. And, once you pop a JPEG disc into the player, Photo TV HD technology uses HDMI output to fine-tune the sharpness, gradation, and color of your images, optimizing their appearance on your HDTV.
