NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD Technology The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video. |
Discrete, Programmable Video Processor NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with low CPU utilization and power. |
Hardware Decode Acceleration Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies. |
HDCP Capable Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays. |
Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems. |
High-Quality Scaling Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail. |
Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction) Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality. |
Bad Edit Correction When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 or 30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video. |
Noise Reduction Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts. |
Edge Enhancement Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects. |
