DIDO Jr. Installation Manual

Noise reduction

 allows the DIDO Jr. to clean up an image with random noise caused by poor or weak 

signal. There are two types of noise reduction filters available. The first one is “Spatial Filter” which is 
good for signals from poor TV reception. The second one is “Temporal Filter” which is a good overall 
noise reduction to clean up an image. There is a penalty when using noise reduction which is the 
softening of the image. Best way to use noise reduction is trial and error to see what works best for the 
application. 
 

Motion handling

 is for DIDO Jr. Motion Adaptive De-interlacing. There are three options to choose from.  

Option 2 gives the best overall compromise of feathering and jitter when enabling this feature. Once 
again, it is best that different options are used with the content to see which works best. 
 

Scaling Filter

 is for the graphics channel.  This should be enabled in most cases especial when an image 

is being down scaled or reduced in sized.  The scaling filter is not used when an image is up scaled or 
increased in size.  
 

 

 

 

 
ADC Calibration

 is for the RGBHV inputs color settings.  The Auto will automatically adjust the gain 

and offset for each color when a test pattern is inputted. The Manual allows adjustment to a user’s 
reference or with external color analyzer. 
 

 

 
 
 

 

 

DIDO Jr. Reconfig

 will re-sync all the current input signals as if the inputs were disconnected and 

reconnected. 
 

Default Settings

 will reset the DIDO Jr. to factory settings (default settings). All customized settings will 

be deleted.
