The nominal setting is 5, but edges can be sharpened with higher numbers, or softened with lower numbers. 3.2.8 Noise This setting controls the amount of noise filtering performed by the VLS-2000, on a scale of 0 to 10. The 5 setting provides nominal filtering.
ESI VLS-2000 Video Line Scaler Operating ManualVersion 1.2 3.2.11 Source This tells the VLS-2000 what type of video source material is being presented to the device input. Combined with the Screen setup, the VLS automatically calculates the best image transformations to perform to get the largest possible image in the correct aspect ration on the display. Source should be set to either 16:9, 4:3Full, or 4:3LtrBx, depending on the format of the supplied input.
