Picture Controls

Detail Enhancement is a control to increase (or decrease) the ProScaler detail (“sharpness”) of the image. Use this control in
moderation, as excessive settings adjustments may cause the image to look distorted and unnatural.

Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> ProScaler Enhancement
ProScaler Enhancement can be used to sharpen large scene objects (verses the Detail Enhancement control, which will
sharpen ProScaler details such as grass or the texture of a plaster wall). It it useful when you want to sharpen a lower
quality picture, such as Standard Definition (SD) content.
ProScaler Enhancement, like all picture controls, is independently adjustable for every video input. When you make a
change to a picture control, the change applies only to the currently selected video input.

About Mosquito Noise Reduction
The term “noise” in the context of video images refers to unwanted or unnatural looking elements that find their way into
video signals. “Mosquito Noise” is a particular type of image noise that is caused by video compression processing. Video
compression is common for all types of transmitted video, including cable, satellite, and over-the-air broadcasts. Compression
is also used with DVD, Blu-ray discs and other prerecorded media. The visibility of Mosquito Noise will vary. In some cases,
it can become objectionable. Mosquito Noise will be more obvious in standard definition video, although it is sometimes
present in high definition video.
Your Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler has a Mosquito Noise Reduction feature that can remove some of this noise. An example
of mosquito noise in a TV weather report is shown on the left side of the next page. The same image with Mosquito Noise
Reduction applied is shown on the right side of the next page.
Mosquito Noise reduction works by analyzing the image for features that are likely to cause Mosquito Noise. It then
intelligently applies filtering to those areas to remove the noise.
