• Second-to-none interlaced to interlaced/progressive conversion quality, with options to up-scale/down-scale. High quality SD material can be viewed at 2.5x the display picture height when converted to HD or UHD TV. Similarly, UHD/4K from 1080i60 can be viewed at 1.2x picture heights. A high quality viewing experience can be achieved on larger HD/UHD TV displays for typical viewing distances in most households for all Viarte converted contents.

• Edge enhancement up-scaling (upresing) of SD/HD movies to HD/UHD/4K, Viarte offers the best video up/down-scaling available! See an example from the public-domain film "Sita Sings the Blues". For conversions between different aspect ratios, various options for cropping or pillarbox/letterboxing are available.

Superior temporal conversion by up to +/-10% allows material to fit a time slot, and without introducing visible artifacts or judder due to frame dropping/duplication. The audio tempo is correspondingly changed with the video. The input sources can be any of progressive, interlaced, 32-pulldown, or mixed.

In addition, multiple tempo change adjustment values can be defined and localized by time and duration, allowing some regions to be preserved, and others squashed or extended.

• Best quality available 2:3 and 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal (inverse telecine) with mixed/broken/random cadence handling in noisy conditions.
• Progressive segmented frame (PSF) detection and handling for progressive inputs marked as 59.94i or 50i. PSF is reliably detected and handled amongst telecine or interlaced content. (See our success story "Metallica: "Some Kind of Monster" here).

• Breakthrough GPU MC HDR/SDR noise-reduction technology achieves up to 12db noise reduction, while reducing flicker and preserving details and edges. When combined with scaling, viewers can enjoy a near immersive viewing experience not normally achieved with SD sources.
• Significant HEVC/H.264 bandwidth savings. For noisy sources, results show up to a 80% file size reduction while maintaining image sharpness and fine detail.
• Viarte noise reduction provides a better foundation for any SDR to HDR up-conversion (offered by other companies).
• With denoise, we are also providing the highest quality HEVC encoding at any given bitrate, for mobile, premiere OTT, ATSC 3.0 broadcast and Blu-ray applications. Stay tuned for further announcements on Viarte cloud fast HEVC encoding.

• Accurate color conversion between Rec 601, Rec 709, ITU, DCI-P3, BT 2020.

• Accurate and flexible output timecode control
  • including SMPTE-drop-frame count, or exact frame count,
  • output timecode can be adjusted according to configuration, or can pass through from the input.
• Logo insertion and a proprietary water-marking process are supported to protect your content.
• Secure content handling - including during file transfers and on our premises. Your content is always stored on encrypted filesystems, which drastically reduces the risk of content loss.
