Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Scaling Question

The PS3's scaling is very good, it's de-interlacing before scaling film material is passable. The full-featured ABT 2010 chip has a featured called: PReP - Progressive ReProcessing, which can take less than ideal 480p video and break it down into the original interlaced lines to give it another shot. This is for players (like the PS3) which don't support 480i output.

I don't know if the Denon receivers have this feature enabled on the chip.

My Pioneer display does an amazing job de-interlacing 1080i film-based material (just got CSI Season 1 on BD), but it takes a couple seconds to lock on to the film cadence. It's scaling of 480 video to 1080 isn't as good as the PS3.
