Digital Video Scaling
Fahrenheit Video 3D features both horizontal and
vertical digital video scaling. With Fahrenheit Video
3D, a Windows digital video clip can be scaled and sized
up to full screen. No longer will your video viewing be
restricted to postage stamp-sized displays. The scaling
feature can be used in all resolutions except 640x480x16
colors and 800x600x16 colors.
Playback of a Windows digital video clip is enhanced
with Fahrenheit Video 3D's SuperZoom

feature. With
SuperZoom's advanced scaling techniques, video clips
captured at small window sizes can be played back at
full-screen full-frame rate. You get smooth video play-
back without dropping frames, improved image quality
and continuous audio data.
By incorporating the new DCI standard, Fahrenheit
Video 3D can take on many of the tasks generally
shared with the Windows display software. The DCI
standard allows Fahrenheit Video 3D's accelerator
hardware to act independently during scaling and dis-
playing operations, and for implementing color-space
conversion. These tasks are accomplished much more
quickly using hardware methods and the resulting
displays can then be scaled for full-screen playback.
