Multi-functional Filter Sets: |
| Proprietary Pre-filtering | Dithering, Error Diffusion, Pixel Values, Black Level, Q. Characteristics, Luminance, Quantize, Grain, Texture, Spike, Blur, Low Pass, High Gain, Region |
| Pre-filtering with Preview | The Preview function enables the user to apply a Filter while confirming the visual effect in real time |
| Adaptive Noise Reduction (NR) | This function detects and removes source grain and re-creates grain for better compression efficiency |
| Q. Picture type | Also known as IPB weights, this function specifies the limits for "B" and "P" picture distortion ratio to the "I" picture. This function is important for picture quality constancy in some cases |
| Anti Overshoot | Anti Overshoot added to Filter #2 settings window. This feature was added to remove side effects when using Low Pass Filters |
| MIX Parameter added to Texture and Spike Settings | A new MIX parameter was added to Texture and Spike Non Linear Filter settings. This allows Texture and Spike to match more closely to original source grains |
| High Bit Processing and Q.Restrict | NEW FEATURE: The HBP filter when used with "Restict" setting, allows the user to specify settings that greatly help reduce mosquito noise around titling |
| [Effect Settings] Screenshot | Special Effects such as Monochrome, Black, Super Black, |
| Effect Window | and White. Also for applying a specified Matte |
| Effect Window With Preview | The Preview function enables the user to apply a Special Effect while confirming the visual effect in real time. |
