In Reply to: RE: Does a Blu Ray player benefit from Reon or Realta chips? posted by mitch4t on June 25, 2008 at 14:32:04:
These chips come pre-programmed to give a certain level of performance. If the manufacturer wants more options and/or higher performance, there's an added cost to the chip.
For example, the Realta can deinterlace, scale video and provide noise reduction (to name 3 of its features). One manufacturer may use it for deinterlacing and video noise reduction, but another may just use it to deinterlace and another chip to handle scaling (such as one of Denon's High-End DVD players which uses an HQV Realta + ABT solution).
For Blu-ray discs, not all are 1080p24: most of the concerts are 1080i60. The Realta chip could be used to deinterlace the High Definition video for a 1080p60 output. According to Denon, they're also using it to clean up Blu-ray video material in their model 3800 Blu-ray player.
