angelus512 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I did a search but I have yet to find a thread that addresses the query of how the PX models deinterlace sources? Is it bob? (I hope not) or weave or other? Anybody know?
angelus512 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 common, not one person knows the answer to this?
madmax Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Pretty sure it's weave. Doubt that it could be motion-adaptive (the ultimate). I remember it passed some critical deinterlacing test on some important website (sorry to be vague), whereas most other brands failed. Owen might be able to shed more light on this......
Anton-P. Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 If you believe Pana's propaganda on the built-in 1080p Processor chip saying it uses all 1080 lines of information then it's definitely not bob.
angelus512 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 cheers guys figured it was weave and i remember reading it passed this test and a lot failed but i wasn't sure it was a while ago i read it. Thanks.
alfalfa Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 cheers guys figured it was weave and i remember reading it passed this test and a lot failed but i wasn't sure it was a while ago i read it.Thanks. I am pretty sure weave only works for film based sources. The panasonic must use some sort of motion adaptive deinterlacer. This is the article that tested deinterlacing on a number of tvs http://www.hometheatermag.com/hookmeup/1106hook/index.html
taksan Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 The 600a uses Panasonic's full 1080 bandwidth motion adaptive deinterlacing chip.
AndrewWilliams Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Yes, the 600a uses one of the best adaptive deinterlacing chips in a consumer display. Nothing to worry about.
madmax Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Yes, the 600a uses one of the best adaptive deinterlacing chips in a consumer display. Nothing to worry about. Well that makes me happy, seeing as I just bought one!
TwisTz Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 How about the older 500a? Which method does that use?
AndrewWilliams Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Unfortunately the 500A only does simple bob deinterlacing from what I've read meaning that it downsizes 1920x1080 to 1920x540 before rescaling to 1366x768. Not ideal, but probably not worth losing sleep over unless you're fairly hardcore. One way around it might be to use a HTPC to do the deinterlacing assuming the 500A can accept a 1366x768x50p signal.
Anton-P. Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Unfortunately the 500A only does simple bob deinterlacing from what I've read According to a test in US (Home Theater website I think) the 500A pased their deinterlacing test while dozens others failed. But every time I quoted that article the response here was ... oh that was a simple inconclusive test method. So I don't know how valid it was. Can you recall where you read it does simple bob, just want to convince myself one way or the other
