TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Faroudja DVP5000 Digital Video Processor/
Scaler is the ideal solution for optimizing the grow-
ing selection of display devices that require high
performance results from HDTV and standard
interlaced sources.
The unit is a precision video instrument used to
convert 480i and 1080i HDTV interlaced signals
into high-resolution progressively scanned images.
The DVP5000 is the first processor to take inter-
laced 1080i HDTV and convert it to progressively
scanned 1080p. This step doubles the number of
lines on the screen, improving light output while
reducing interlaced motion artifacts on 9" CRT
projectors. HDTV 480p can be doubled to 960p
with similar results while 720p is processed to
improve detail without changing the scan rate.
The DVP5000 also removes typical video process-
ing artifacts from standard 480i sources while
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 DVP5000 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 from 480i sources.
CRTs can be set to provide maximum scan lines
with excellent 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 for Letterbox,
Anamorphic or 4:3. Since the DVP5000 manipu-
lates the aspect ratio, the display only needs
one memory.
The DVP5000 accepts HDTV sources and stan-
dard rate interlaced sources. It is 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 Computer to pass-
through to the display.
Two key new technologies are implemented in the
DVP5000. DCDi™, Directional Correlation
Deinterlacing, prevents the introduction of motion
artifacts from video original material such as sport-
ing events. The Scan-Lock™ Bandwidth
Expansion circuit optimizes the detail settings for
each scan rate.
The DVP5000 offers a 10-bit color decoder for
noise free color reproduction. A Time Base
Corrector helps to stabilize unstable sources such
as VHS tapes.
A multi-function smart remote control is included
that allows for direct access control of all functions
plus has the commands for seven other theater
devices already loaded into its memory.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2
On June 24, 1998 Yves Faroudja was awarded
the prestigious Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime
Achievement Award from the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences for his video processing
technology. Faroudja’s first Emmy was awarded
in 1991. Some of this award winning technology
is used in the DVP5000.
1991
1998

The greatest benefit of the DVP5000 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 transmis-
sion 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 produc-
tion 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 ™ 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 typ-
ically found only with high-bandwidth produc-
tion studio original material.
The DVP5000 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 DVP5000 unit from the shipping
container and examine it for any signs of ship-
ping 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 DVP5000 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 mini-
mum 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.

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 for-
mat, 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, 4, 1080p
4:3 APPLICATIONS
CRT Size Recommended Scan Rate
7" 720p, 1024X768
8" 1024X768, 960p
9" 960p, 1280X1024, 1080p

ASPECT RATIO CONTROL
The DVP5000 has a unique Aspect Ratio
control to allow for maximum performance
from a display device. There are two types to
choose from. (Note: Aspect Ratio control is
not available for the HDTV 480p/1080i/720p
input.)
Note: For proper operation, the correct
screen shape must be selected first in
the Setup menu!
Wide Angle Screens
This setting should be used on installations
with wide angle screens.
Note: The projector geometry must be set
for Anamorphic sources!
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 DVP5000 controls the aspect ratio
conversion, the projector stays in the anamor-
phic setting providing maximum resolution. The
scan structure benefits of anamorphic squeez-
ing 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 in installations 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 DVP5000 will calcu-
late 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.

SETUP

NOTE: Do not leave the 4:3 image with a
Wide Angle screen on for long periods of
time. This can cause permanent image burn-
in with CRT projectors. Image burn-in is not
covered by Faroudja’s warranty.

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 set-
tings 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.
