HQV Video Processor
In a perfect world, every disc’s image that passed through your Blu ray disc player into your HDTV could offer immaculate 1080p video with flawless color, impeccable detail, and nary some pesky video sound. In the real world, though, pristine source material isn’t available for each Blu ray disc—due to age or neglect of the original elements—and there are lots of movies and TV shows on DVD that you’ll still want to watch on your Blu ray player. HQV video processing is a good way of elevating those less than perfect video resources to a new level, and making sure that you’re to get the most out of your beautiful high definition video display.
To do this, the HQV video processors built into better Blu ray players employ sophisticated algorithms to alleviate the problems that frequently plague less than perfect video resources. HQV processors examine many video fields now to find out where frames match up and where they don’t, and which objects are in motion inside those frames. In examining the video signal over time, the processor also establishes the correct frame rate or refresh rate of the original video signal—whether it’s a 24 fps film source or a 30 fps video source, for example—and ensures that it’s dealt with properly. HQV video processors are great at minimizing video sound without scrubbing the image of all its good detail, also as restoring many of the detail that’s lost consequently of violent video filtering throughout the Blu ray or DVD mastering procedure. And unlike many competing video processors, HQV processors boast enough processing power to keep up with the many video streams picture in picture and split screen found on many new Blu ray discs.

Answers to Basic Questions About Blu ray
What is Blu ray?
Blu ray is a new optical disc format with over five and a half times the storage capacity of a regular DVD 25 GB versus 4.5 GB. A dual layer Blu ray disc can hold up to 50 GB of info. With that increased storage, movie studios can supply movies on disc in high meaning, offering 6x the resolution or image detail of DVD and up to eight channels of lossless better than CD quality digital sound. The new format may also supply interactive features that go well above anything ever offered before.
Is Blu ray different than HDTV?
HDTV, or high meaning TV, is a new broadcasting format that offers widescreen, high resolution pictures offering 6x the resolution or image detail of DVD, with up to 5.1 channels of audio. Till now, the signals were only available through over the air transmissions via an antenna, or through digital cable and satellite signals. You can’t get HD signals from a regular video tape or DVD. An HDTV is a high resolution video display that’s able of receiving and showing these HDTV transmits or pictures. Blu ray is a complement to your HDTV. It is a disc media format that has enough storage to include an complete movie, plus soundtracks and bonus materials, recorded in the high meaning format. You may be able to play Blu ray discs back on your HDTV and see the same, if not better image and sound quality as you do from HDTV transmits.
What kind of TV do I have to enjoy Blu ray?
You may be able to play back Blu ray movies on any TV with composite video or better inputs not RF, but to get a useful gain from the format over DVD you will want to have a high definition TV, or HDTV, with a vertical resolution higher than 480p, and preferably higher than 720p. Most Blu ray titles can deliver a picture with a vertical resolution of 1080i or 1080p. The more horizontal resolution the TV can reproduce, up to 1920 lines or pixels, the better.
How are Blu ray discs different than regular DVDs?
Blu ray discs are the same size as DVD or CD, but use a blue laser to store and read data as opposed to the red laser used in DVDs and CDs. The blue laser’s shorter wavelength, joint with a smaller aperture lens and a thinner cover level on the disc makes it possible to create a smaller beam spot size able of storing and reading more, smaller info on the disc. A single layer Blu ray disc can hold 25 GB worth of data, in comparison to 4.5 on a regular DVD. A dual level BD disc holds up to 50 GB. This translates into the capability to store a full 1080p HD image. This has a resolution composed of 1920 by 1080 progressively scanned pixels, in comparison to standard DVD’s 720 by 480 pixels. also, Blu ray has much wider bandwidth than DVD, delivering signals at speeds up to 48 Mbps, six times faster than DVD’s eight Mbps, and almost 2.5 times the data of an HDTV broadcast’s 19.2 Mbps. technically, it is violet, but who’s keeping track?
Will Blu ray discs play in my current DVD player?
No. You’ll need a Blu ray player to be able to read the smaller, denser info found on a Blu ray disc.
Will I be able to play standar DVDs on my Samsung Blu ray player?
Yes. Blu ray players are backwards matched with your standard DVDs. They may also play CDs.
Is Blu ray the same as HD DVD?
No. HD DVD was a competing format with less storage capacity than Blu ray. With Toshiba, its main champion announcing on February 19, 2008 that they could end production of HD DVD merchandise, the not many businesses that were behind the format declared that they could instead create merchandise for the Blu ray format.
What does up conversion mean?
Buyers have over 50 years worth of material in standard meaning formats. Up conversion is the procedure of taking that present, standard meaning material and converting it lines and pixels are copied to many degree to the higher resolution required to display those signals on an HDTV. When done well, the procedure can frequently improve picture quality, though it can not increase real resolution. The quality of the up converter, included in everything from up converting standard DVD players to Blu ray players and HDTVs, can frequently find out the quality of the picture.
What kind of cables, connections do I have to have to make Blu ray work?
You’ll need either a 3 wire analog part typically labeled Y, Pr and Pb or an HDMI digital video connection between the BD player and the TV. The HDMI connection is preferable. Not only will it supply better image quality, but it’ll pass along higher resolution audio and control info, also. You may get restricted up conversion alternatives with standard DVDs when using the part connection.
What is firmware and do I need it?
Firmware is like computer software, or the instruction set in the player that tells the hardware what to do under different conditions. Put a disc, and the firmware tells the player to read the disc. Press the Play button and the firmware tells the player to play the movie. Usually speaking, the firmware is invisible until the end user. But Blu ray keeps evolving, and new features keep being produced. With each new feature that a movie studio comes up with, hardware manufacturers have to release new instruction sets, or firmware, to deal with it. Samsung’s capability to easily update the firmware in their BD players makes them one of the best in the business.
Who supports Blu ray?
Now, almost everyone supports Blu ray. All the big movie studios have declared that they could support Blu ray with both new and catalog titles. Thousands of movies and music videos are already available. Most big electronics manufacturers have been behind Blu ray since the format’s beginning.
Can I rent movies on Blu ray?
Yes. Blockbuster, Hollywood Video and Netflix, among other places, offer Blu ray titles for rent.
Are my regular DVDs obsolete?
Not by the meaning Merriam Webster could use. You may be able to still play your regular DVDs on your Blu ray disc player, so they are still useful, but you will want to replace them with Blu ray variants as they become available in the new format so that you may enjoy the improved image and sound quality.
Is the only advantage to Blu ray the video quality? Why am I supposed to upgrade to Blu ray?
You’ll most likely upgrade due to video quality, but you can also appreciate the improved sound quality available on many players also as the advanced interactive features. Blu ray offers the new generation audio codecs that can play back up to eight channels of surround sound with improved audio quality over that of standard 5.1 digital soundtracks. This will include Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS High Resolution and DTS Master Audio. Blu ray also offers advanced bonus features that include interactive game features or picture in picture commentary tracks, not to talk about extra features that may be downloaded after the disc was made.
Do I have to purchase a new home theater system?
You do not need a new audio system, but you may want to at least have a surround system five speakers and ideally a subwoofer with Dolby Digital or DTS audio decoding to hear the theater like audio experience that’s available on Blu ray. Many BD players offer more advanced audio codecs that supply better quality sound through up to eight channels of surround.
What do all these audio formats mean?
You may be able to hear better than theater like audio at home. As George Lucas has said, sound is 50% of the movie experience. With the right audio equipment, you may be able to hear up to 7.1 channels of sound that’s no different than what the recording engineers heard in the mixing room.
What’s the benefit of 24p?
Movies are recorded on film at 24 frames per second fps. Video is recorded and played at 60 frames per second. Movies must be transformed to 60 frames before being played on your TV. Blu ray discs record movie content in the original 24 frame format, and change the signal inside the player to output at 60 fps for standard HDTVs. Many current HDTVs, like Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz models, and undoubtedly more future ones, can accept and play back the 24 frame signal without the intermediary conversion to 60 fps, which offers a smoother, more natural looking image.
What does Profile 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 mean?
Blu ray’s plans for video are broken into three profiles, each with own set of hardware and software prerequisites. Profile 1.0 gave hardware manufacturers a grace period to create players that were able of Blu ray video playback, but did not have to meet the last standard profile prerequisites. This grace period ended October 31, 2007. These players, while not able to take benefit of all of Blu ray’s promised extra content, will supply full 1080p video playback.
Profile 1.1, aka BonusView, makes certain prerequisites mandatory: picture in picture, secondary audio mixing, a minimum of 256MB of memory built in or removable, and the incorporation of a virtual file system. Players produced and sold after October 31, 2007 are obliged to meet the Profile 1.1 specification, so will take benefit of 1.1 enabled bonus materials on certain BD discs.
BD Live Profile 2.0 makes compulsory all parts of Profile 1.1, but increases the memory prerequisite to 1GB and adds the hardware prerequisite of a network connection. This specification enables the even more interactive web based bonus material found on discs that supply such content.
