FAQ

DVP Technology
Does the DVP 5000S or the Darblet work with 4K?
Neither the DVP 5000S nor the Darblet pass 4K video. However, if you connect
them prior to a 4K upscaler you will see a beneficial effect. We are working on
4K products, and 4K works very well in our lab. We believe that although 4K
pictures can be stunning, they are still flat, and Darbee Visual Presence (DVP)
fixes that. DVP goes Beyond Fidelity™ by adding depth cues that our optical
environment does not provide, so it is a kind of computational imaging that is
not just different in degree, but it is different in kind.
How is DVP different from a contrast filter, color enhancer, or sharpener?
DVP does not affect the image in a global fashion and will not cause most of
the typical image artifacts and degradations that are common to contrast,
color, or sharpening filters. DVP will not change the gamma, and will not ring
edges. DVP conditionally modifies the luminance of individual pixels. It never
changes the hue of a color, although it may modify the chroma saturation to
follow luminance changes appropriately (so that red does not become pink, for
instance).
How does the DVP 5000S affect global contrast, gamma and colors?
The DVP 5000S will not affect global fidelity parameters that are typically
calibrated.
What is the processing delay? Does it change when all processing is disabled except
for the DVP 5000S?
The processing delay is negligible, so audio needs no delay to avoid lip-sync
issues. 1080p60 video has a total throughput delay of 100 microseconds, and
480p24 has a delay of 400 microseconds. The delay depends on the video
resolution, and not on any user settings.
Does the DVP 5000S process audio?
No, audio internally bypasses all processing untouched.
