When it comes to home theater, the VIZIO RP56 is an ideal choice. It offers a native HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (720p), 1500:1 contrast ratio and features a direct digital DVI (Digital Video Interface) with HDCP (High Definition Copy Protection) for the best in direct digital reproduction. The DVI input's color space can be selected as PC video (0-255) or HD video (16-235) so valuable black picture details are not eliminated.

The VIZIO RP56 also offers a dual A/V tuner for PIP (picture-in-picture with audio) and POP (picture-on-picture) so you can watch and hear two of your favorite TV shows simultaneously. Any of your video streams from HDTV, DVD, VCR, SAT and cable can be displayed using PIP in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect modes.

All of today's video formats are supported through a variety of inputs including two SD/HD component video, two composite video, two S-Video and a RF antenna. A convenient side panel houses a composite video, S-Video and PC RGB with corresponding audio inputs for quick connection to game boxes, camcorders and laptop computers. Additionally, the side panel allows connection to headphone jacks for the PIP and main screen allowing you complete flexibility for audio entertainment.

The feature packed RPTV also includes Faroudja's DCDi (Directional Correction Deinterlacer) technology for enhancing standard definition video programming. DCDi(TM) is a motion-adaptive deinterlacer capable of identifying either video or film-based content--even with incorrectly authored DVDs. Video material's edges are interpolated to produce smooth natural images from standard definition sources.  Motion artifacts and jagged edges are virtually eliminated using the deinterlacer's 3:2/2:2 pull down for a more fluid, flicker-free on-screen experience.
