NOISE REDUCE
This item allows Recursive noise reduction with
automatic threshold to be applied to the Luminance
and Chrominance channels.
A momentary push of this button will toggle the
Noise Reducer function ON or OFF.
Holding down this button will reveal a menu that
allows various forms of noise reduction to be
applied to the signal.

This item allows Recursive noise reduction to be
applied to the luminance and chrominance
channels.
Recursive Level

The range of adjustment is off, low, medium and
high. Defaults settings are C Medium and
Y Medium.

Recursive Threshold
or
THRESHOLD
This sets the noise reduction threshold of the
recursive filters.

Preset
Recursive Threshold
The range of adjustment is from Auto (0) to 7 units.
Preset is to Auto (0).
Note that applying a high threshold level may
assist with extremely noisy images; however this
may result in plain areas appearing flat.
◀
Sparkle Filter
This item allows a sparkle filter to be applied to the
signal, reducing the effect of sparkle noise
associated with edge-of-reception signals from
satellite feeds, impulse noise or drop-outs from
tape-recorded signals.
◀
Median Filter
Note that this function is only active when the
Sparkle filter is enabled.
When selected, sparkle concealment is enabled
that employs a threshold controlled 3-dimensional
median filter. This permits the removal of picture
disturbances that the normal sparkle detection
algorithm may miss. For example low-level
sparkles will be concealed. The Median filter is
particularly effective on very noisy sources. Note
that some loss of resolution may be observed
depending on the source material.
