4.6 BASIC SETUP TIPS FOR DIGITAL DISPLAYS/PROJECTORS
4.6.1 PIXEL PERFECT
Every pixel-based digital display has a native resolution*, so any video source displayed needs
to be scaled from its original resolution (size) to the native resolution of the display for optimum
results. If the Crystalio II output resolution is mapped to the display in 1:1 mode, or pixel perfect
mode, this ensures all video processing and scaling is done by Crystalio II. This is very important
because:
• It ensures that the display’s internal scaler is bypassed, allowing you to benefit from the
image processing power of Crystalio II
• It avoids double scaling and processing done to the video source, which would
introduce video artifacts, especially during smooth motion e.g. camera pans
* A display’s native resolution is expressed as number of pixels wide by number of pixels high. For example many DLP projectors are 1280
x 720, so for optimum results all video should be scaled to that number of pixels. Think of this as addressing the exact number of active
pixels; once this has been done as detailed below you have achieved 1:1 mapping, or pixel perfect mode.
To make sure Crystalio II’s output is pixel perfect, please make use of the Crystalio II internal
video test patterns to confirm 1:1 pixel mapping has been achieved. See the examples overleaf:
