Smart De-interlace (SDI) (Available on V1 Widescreen version only). This is a video
quality enhancement technology which increases the apparent resolution of the video
in areas without motion (such as most backgrounds). This technology works best with
adequate lighting and when using a tripod. Here’s a comparison:
Without SDI With SDI
You will notice more “stair casing” and other video artifacts without SDI enabled.
Notice the stair casing on the mountain without SDI; and the relative clarity of the tee
box in the image with SDI.
If the majority of your video is shot with low-light or without a tripod, however, you
may want to disable this feature by visiting the Options/Playback page and un-
checking the appropriate box.
Comparison Options:
The comparison section of the Playback Options page contains options which affect
Compare Mode (discussed above).
In Compare Mode, the two videos may be viewed side-by-side or “stacked” and
viewed top-to-bottom.
The Video Synchronization option affects slow motion when both videos are selected
by causing the faster video to be “slowed down” to match the tempo of the slower
video.
