Motion Active Progressive Scan For Enhanced Big-Screen Performance
Today, demand for large-screen displays has never been higher.  Unfortunately, there is an inverse relationship between screen size and picture quality; a poor quality signal looks even worse on a large screen.  This is especially true for lower resolution analog sources.  To offset this problem, JVC developed an advanced Motion Active Progressive Scan circuit to upconvert 480i interlace signals to 480p (progressive). It uses sophisticated motion detection circuitry for pixel compensation.  This eliminates jitter and flicker to produce smoother, cleaner images that come close to matching the quality of true progressive scan sources.  Since this minimizes the perceived picture degradation that normally appears as the display screen gets larger, users will experience better picture quality than before when they play back S-VHS and VHS tapes on the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5.

Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor Enhances Analog Signals For Digital Recording
Unlike digital signals, analog signals from camcorders or VCRs typically contain defects that can degrade picture quality and produce errors in digital conversion. To cope with this and enable high-quality digital recording of analog sources, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 both use JVC’s exclusive Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor. Its advanced technologies prepare analog signals for digital conversion so that digital recordings appear to surpass the quality of the original analog sources.  These technologies include a Time Base Corrector (TBC) to eliminate jitter, a Frame Synchronizer to correct frame crossover jitter and process any deviant frames, and a 3-Dimension Noise Reduction circuit to remove noise from both still and moving parts of video pictures.  The decks can then digitally encode and record the pristine NTSC-compliant analog input signal, free of image lag, smear and MPEG artifacts, such as mosquito noise.
