The Faroudja DVP3000 Digital Video
Processor/Scaler is the ideal solution for
optimizing the growing selection of display
devices that require high performance results.
The unit is a precision video instrument used to
convert 480i interlaced signals into high-
resolution progressively scanned images .
The DVP3000 removes typical video processing
artifacts while also increasing color purity and
image detail by using a process called Picture
Plus™technology. (See page 3 for details).
It offers unique flexibility to select different scan
rates and aspect ratios to get the most out of the
display device whether it be a CRT, LCD, DLP or
Plasma based display.
The DVP3000 is a full function Scaler that offers
computer scan rates of VGA, SVGA, XGA and
SXGA plus HDTV scan rates of 1080i, 720p,
960p (Quadrupling) and even 1080p. This
flexibility allows for optimization of any type of
display technology. CRTs can be set to provide
maximum scan lines with maximum detail and
any pixel-based display can be connected at the
projector’s native resolution.
Another key feature for optimizing the image is
internal Aspect Ratio selection. This
provides perfect image geometry no matter what
type of source is used, either Letterbox,
Anamorphic or 4:3. Since the DVP3000
manipulates the aspect ratio, the display only
needs one memory.
The DVP3000 accepts all types of interlaced
sources; Composite, S-Video and Component. It
is also forward compatible with future sources
including the progressive output from DVD
players by upconverting the signal to a higher
scan rate. It also has connections for any high
resolution source such as HDTV or Computer to
pass-through to the display while offering
controls for Contrast and Color.
Two key new technologies are implemented in
the DVP3000. DCDi TM, Directional Correlation
Deinterlacing, prevents the introduction of motion
artifacts from video original material such as
sporting events. The Scan-Lock TM Bandwidth
Expansion circuit optimizes the detail settings for
each scan rate.
The DVP3000 offers a 10-bit color decoder for
noise free color reproduction. A Time Base
Corrector helps to stabilize unstable sources
such as VHS tapes.
The DVP3000 comes with a multi-function smart
remote control that allows for both toggle and
direct access control of all functions plus has the
commands for seven other theater devices
already loaded into its memory.
Product Description
On June 24, 1998 Yves Faroudja was awarded the
prestigious Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement
Award from the Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences for his video processing technology. Faroudja’s
first Emmy was awarded in 1991. Some of this award
winning technology is used in the DVP3000.

The greatest benefit of the DVP3000 is the image
quality, a result of a complex three stage process
called Picture Plus™Technology.
Stage 1 – Color Decoding: Adaptive Comb Filter-
Cross Color Suppression - Bandwidth Expansion
In order for the display to create an image, it
must receive Red, Green and Blue signals. The
separation of RGB from a composite or S-video
signal is called decoding. This process, usually
done incorrectly, introduces many errors into the
picture. The most visible errors are called Dot
Crawl, seen as moving dots along color edges,
and Rainbow patterns, seen as a moving rainbow
over fine lines such as patterned shirts a news
anchor might wear.
Faroudja’s patented 10-bit Adaptive Comb
Filter and Cross-Color Suppression circuit
eliminates these errors yielding much improved
color purity and edge detail even in scenes with
fast motion.
Most composite video and S-Video sources have
been filtered to reduce the amount of signal
(bandwidth) for recording and transmission
purposes. This can significantly reduce color
edge detail causing colors, such as Red, to blur
onto White backgrounds.
Faroudja’s Patented Color Bandwidth
Expansion circuit actively monitors the color
signal and significantly increases color edge
detail to levels typically found only in production
studio original material.
Stage 2 – Film and Video DCDi Motion Tracking
Changing the structure of the video source from
interlaced to progressive is a difficult process
when the signal contains any motion.
For material originated from video cameras, such
as sporting events, DCDi TM is used. Directional
Correlation Deinterlacing prevents the
introducing of jagged edges and blurring. For
video converted from film cameras, the patented
3/2 pull-down detection circuit is used.
These circuits allow the unit to recombine the
interlaced film or video frame back into its original
structure limiting the introduction of motion
errors. Horizontal, vertical and even angled lines
are correctly reproduced.
Stage 3 – Luminance Bandwidth Expansion
Faroudja’s patented Luminance Bandwidth
Expansion circuit is able to greatly increase the
perceived resolution of any video source by
reducing the time it takes the signal to change
from one level to the next (called Rise-Times).
This normally can only be accomplished by
increasing the bandwidth of the signal.
Faroudja’s unique circuit yields detail levels
typically found only with high-bandwidth
production studio original material.
The DVP3000 applies the new Scan-Lock
feature. The Bandwidth Expansion circuit is
applied after the scaling stage. This allows for
the circuit to optimize, or “Lock” to each scan
rate. The optimized settings are automatically
recalled each time the scan rate is selected.
It is the combined affect of all three stages that
yield the superior image quality only Faroudja
can offer, regardless of scanning rate. By never
compromising at any point in the circuitry,
Faroudja processors will yield unparalleled image
quality, matching 35mm film in color, detail and
dramatic impact.

Unpacking
Remove the DVP3000 unit from the shipping
container and examine it for any signs of
shipping damage or missing items (check
inventory list below). All shipping materials
should be saved if the unit is to be moved or
returned for service.
Installation
The DVP3000 processor is designed to be either
placed on a table or rack mounted. If the rack
mounting installation kit is to be used, the rack
mount ears are mounted by using 3 screws. It
will be necessary to support the rear of the unit if
it will be shipped in the rack by using rack
support rails supplied by the rack manufacturer.
Ventilation
The unit is cooled by a fan located on the top
panel. Air is drawn from vents along the sides
and bottom of the chassis. These vents must
not be blocked. When rack mounted, a
minimum of 1.75" (1 rack unit height) of free
space is required above and below the unit to
allow for proper cooling. A forced air fan should
be added to the rack installation if power amps
are located in the same air space.

Connections
This page outlines how different sources and
displays can be connected to the DVP3000.
Because of the high performance of the
DVP3000 it is very important to use the highest
quality cables possible, for both input and output
signals.
Both the RGB BNC and the D15 Monitor output
connections are active at all times and can run
two displays simultaneously.
To avoid AC ground loop problems, the source
equipment, DVP3000 and projector should all be
running on the same AC power line (one
correctly rated for the power requirements).
Source Inputs
1. S-Video (Y/C) sources such as DVDs,
Satellite systems, S-VHS tape decks (when
using S-VHS tapes only), Hi-8 tape decks.
2. Composite video sources such as Laserdisc
players, cable TV, VHS tape decks, 8mm
tape decks.
3. Interlaced Component video sources such
as DVDs and professional tape decks.
Progressive Component signals from DVDs
are also connected here.
4. High scan rates sources such as HDTV and
computers as a pass-through to the
projector.
Outputs
5. D15F connector for use with computer
monitors or to a second display device.
6. BNC connectors for main output to display
devices. For YPrPb outputs use:
Red = Pr
Green = Y
Blue = Pb
Note: If HDTV or Computer signals are to be
used, the projector must have separate H & V
sync cables installed.

Selecting the Proper Scan Rate
For fixed panel display devices (DLP, LCD,
Plasma, etc.) optimum performance is achieved
by choosing the native resolution of the display.
For CRT based projectors there are a few
options. If the screen used is a wide angle
format, the projector geometry should be set for
Anamorphic sources. In general, the higher the
scan rate chosen, the better the image will
become, being more cinematic with increased
light output and contrast ratio. However, if too
high of a scan rate is chosen the image can
begin to appear soft as the scan lines start to
over lap. The bandwidth of the display must also
be considered when choosing a scan rate.
As a guide line, the following settings are
recommended:
Widescreen Applications
CRT Size Recommended Scan Rate
7” 800X600, 720p
8” 720p, 1024X768
9” 1024X768, 960p, 1280X1024, 1080p
4:3 Applications
CRT Size Recommended Scan Rate
7” 720p, 1024X768
8” 1024X768, 960p
9” 960p, 1280X1024, 1080p
Aspect Ratio Control
The DVP3000 has a unique Aspect Ratio control
to allow for maximum performance from a display
device. There are two types to choose from.
For proper operation, the correct
screen shape must be selected first
in the Setup menu!
Wide Angle Screens
This setting should be used on CRT projectors
with wide angle screens.
The projector geometry must be set
for Anamorphic sources!
Installation

How it Works
With “Widescreen” selected in the Setup menu,
the on-screen image looks like this with both
Anamorphic and Letterbox sources:
Since the DVP3000 controls the aspect ratio
conversion, the projector stays in the anamorphic
setting providing maximum resolution. The scan
structure benefits of anamorphic squeezing are
maintained for letterbox .
With 4:3 sources, the image looks like this:
This is a very powerful feature and does not
require multiple projector memories.
4:3 Screens
This setting should be used with any fixed panel
display device (LCD, DLP, etc.) or CRT with a
4:3 Aspect Ratio screen.
The image looks like this with Letterbox and
Anamorphic sources:
And for 4:3 sources:
Note: The Anamorphic scaling feature on a
4:3 screen is only available at scan rates 720p
and faster.
The complex Aspect Ratio algorithms operate
automatically. Enter the proper source type with
the remote control and the DVP3000 will
calculate the proper geometry while the display
device stays in the one memory.
Note: DVDs come in Anamorphic, Letterbox
and 4:3 formats. In most cases, the DVD
player must be set for the proper type. See
your DVD manual for details.

Adjusting Detail
The Detail and Noise Reduction settings have
been optimized for most sources. However, the
viewers tastes and the types of software used
may require making adjustments of these
settings to fine tune the image. Theses controls
are very effective to either increase detail or to
help clean up poor quality video material. It is
recommended that adjustments be made in small
increments until the desired results are achieved.
It is important to not use too much Detail as the
image will start to look artificial.
