|DVDO by Anchor Bay iScan VP50 Video Processor
|Friday, 01 June 2007
Page 1 of 2Introduction
Anchor Bay Technologies, makers of DVDO system products offers a full line of video processors that deliver great performance at extremely competitive prices. Last year, I gave the company's second from top-of-the-line processor, the iScan VP30, very high marks for the price performance ratio with really only one serious caveat or downside, which was how it handled de-interlacing of 1080i HDTV sources. Since then, I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of their latest flagship processor, the iScan VP50, which purportedly solved the above issue. I have now been living with the VP50 in my system for about a month, have used it with several 1080p resolution projectors, and have it driving my reference Samsung SP-H710AE one-chip DLP projector. Anchor Bay's VP50 is an extremely impressive video processor in terms of video performance and system set-up flexibility.
Some might suggest that, at $2,995, a VP50 is probably overkill for most consumer TVs like DLP and LCoS rear-projection HDTVs, many of which are now selling for a lot less than this processor. In the real world, it is with more expensive front-projection systems and some of the larger plasma TVs in the market that the VP50 will make the most fiscal sense. There are a few good reasons to mate a processor like the VP50 with your display, the most obvious of which is to improve video performance. Reducing artifacts and video noise are at the top of the list of remedies you can expect from the VP50. It does a particularly excellent job of this with standard-definition cable and satellite sources, which are typically riddled with these kinds of artifacts. Another key area of performance that the VP50 is likely to enhance is color decoding. Many displays have inaccurate color decoding that incorrectly accentuate red, which is something we refer to as "Red Push." This is obvious when color is set correctly with a color bar test pattern and people's faces appear to be heavily sunburned. Of course, the VP50's color decoding is spot-on for both SD and HD sources, and the result is very natural-looking color and simultaneously good color saturation. Many A/V systems are designed to switch the audio and video sources through an A/V receiver, and then they route the video signal out to one input on the TV. This can degrade high-resolution video sources, particularly HDTV sources, depending on the quality of the receiver. The VP50 is a good solution for A/V source routing, as it will not degrade audio or video performance. On the video side, it also gives you independent memories for each source, so you can optimize all your video sources to the TV. The audio inputs on the VP50 can also be used to switch your audio if you choose. It also offers a lip sync feature to help reduce sync issues, which have become a problem with a lot of source components (cable and satellite receivers in particular), especially when run via their HDMI outputs.
The design of the VP50 is quite basic. In fact, it is physically identical to the VP30. It is a standard one rack high A/V component with an all black anodized finish. The remote control is a well-designed unit, but unfortunately missing backlighting completely, although the keys have glow-in-the-dark illumination. Just put the remote underneath a bright light for a few minutes, and the keys will glow enough for you to see them in the dark for a period of time. Many of the key function buttons are available as direct access keys. This includes all inputs, aspect ratios, output set-up, configuration, picture control and input adjust, to name some of the most important ones. Custom installers will appreciate this flexibility, as it makes their job of programming some of this functionality into a touch panel remote system, like a Crestron or an AMX, much easier. The internal menu system or GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a vertically arrayed design that is relatively easy and straightforward to manage.
Connectivity options on the VP50 are quite comprehensive. The four HDMI inputs are the most important video connections; four is more than are offered by any TV I know of, and should be more than enough to accommodate most home theater needs today. There are also two component video inputs, two S-Video and two composite video inputs. A set of RGBHV inputs (all BNC connectors) can also double as a third component video input if configured that way. Two coaxial and two optical audio inputs are on board, and there are one coaxial and one optical digital audio output as well. You can output the video to the display either via HDMI or a component or RGBHV output. Of course, it is preferable to output via the HDMI output for all digital displays. The RGBHV or component video output would be best suited to a CRT-based projector. I find the VP50's connectivity to be extremely generous when compared to most other video processors. It should be more than ample even for the most sophisticated home theater applications.
Very few video processors give you the set-up flexibility that the feature-packed VP50 does. The A/V Lipsync feature gives you the ability to dial out any lip sync issues you might encounter with your system. This is a relatively prevalent issue with satellite and cable HD set-top boxes, especially when using the digital HDMI outputs. This feature will save you the $250 to $400 it would cost for an outboard lip sync box. A Y/C delay feature gives you the ability to adjust the video signal so that color and black and white signals reach the screen at the same time. Scan rate output resolutions cover the entire gamut from VGA (640x480), 480p all the way up to 1080p. Under Input Aspect Ratio, if you have a 16:9 display, the Frame Aspect Ratio should be set to 16:9, and the Active Aspect Ratio should be set to 1.78:1. It also has a Custom setting that allows you to create an aspect ratio ranging from 1:01:1 to 3.00:1. An overscan feature allows you to overscan the picture to eliminate compression lines that typically occur with standard-definition channels on cable and satellite systems. This is a must-have feature when watching standard-definition sources, and it is input-dependent, which means you won't have to use it for DVDs where there should be no compression issues.
Every test pattern a technician like me needs for professional calibration is on board the VP50, including full color fields for all the primary and secondary colors. Gamma correction for red, green and blue is also available for displays with problematic gamma curves. I would still like to see Anchor Bay actually give us grayscale controls, so that a professional could fine-tune the grayscale of a display with the processor's controls. Although a company representative had told me that RGB grayscale controls would be added to the next generation of the VP30 and its step-up model the VP50, I did not find them in my review sample. The VP50 also has frame-rate choices of 24 Hz, 25Hz, 50 Hz and 60Hz. The 24Hz frame rate will be useful for some Blu-ray players that output 24Hz, and does a nice job of eliminating judder, an artifact preserved with film sources by 2:3 pull-down. Of course, 25Hz and 50 Hz are useful for the European video standards PAL and SECAM. A Border feature allows you to adjust the black bars at the top and bottom of a widescreen movie to gray in a variety of shades. This can be a useful feature to reduce or eliminate image retention on plasma TVs. There are many more features than I have the space in the review to discuss, but these should cover the most useful ones the VP50 has to offer.
I evaluated the VP50 with a variety of 1080p digital projectors, including the Benq W10000 one-chip DLP projector and the Epson Pro Cinema 1080p LCD projector. Video performance for standard-definition sources like cable TV, satellite and DVD is nothing short of outstanding. Color decoding is dead-on accurate for both SD (REC 601) and HD (REC 709) sources. I was quite impressed with how much improvement there was with standard-definition channels on my Time Warner Cable system. The VP50 cleaned up much of the noise and artifacts that were clearly visible on both the Benq and the Epson. The Benq does not de-interlace 1080i properly, but the VP50 pulls off the feat flawlessly. The best test for this is the new HQV HD DVD Benchmark test DVD. A Video Resolution Loss Test pattern will show you if your HDTV is de-interlacing the source properly or not. Making sure you have the output of your HD DVD or Blu-ray player set to 1080i, select Video Resolution Loss Test in the menu. The moving bar on the pattern should be clean, with no jaggies on the edge, and the horizontal and vertical line squares at all four corners should be fully resolved. If either or both parts of that pattern are not showing up nice and clean, then chances are that the video processing is bobbing and not weaving the two interlaced frames together, which results in a loss of up to 50 percent of the vertical resolution in a 1080i source. Of course, since Blu-ray and HD DVD now both output 1080p, this is really only applicable to broadcast HD sources like cable, satellite and off-air.
2:3 pull-down is also an essential part of any video processing scheme, whether it's an onboard processor that comes with all HDTVs or in an outboard solution such as the VP50. It is important to note that not all 2:3 pull-down detection is created equal. Some processing schemes will catch it a little bit slowly, so you can see the artifacts initially, and then suddenly it cleans up right before your eyes, which means the 2:3 detection is slow. This is most definitely not the case with the VP50. The best movie material to test this with is the opening sequence of "Star Trek: Insurrection (Paramount Home Entertainment). In this scene, you need to look at the railing on the bridge, the canoes near the garden and the rooftops of all the buildings. When I hooked up the VP50 and set levels for the DVD input, this sequence was rendered pristinely by comparison with either the Benq's or the Epson's internal video processing. It detected the presence of film-based material extremely quickly, with no lag time whatsoever.
I tested component 480i from my older Panasonic RP91 DVD player run into the VP50's component input, and then observed the unit's transcoding from component video to HDMI. It was done superbly well, which is more than I can say for a lot of the new upper-end A/V receivers, many of which add a lot of noise and artifacts in the process. The rest of my DVD watching was all HD, mostly from my Toshiba HD DVD player and a few Blu-ray titles on a new Sony Blu-ray player. As of the time of writing this feature, I still find that HD DVD titles for the most part look better than Blu-ray, which accounts for my bias there. Chapters 13 and 25 from the awesome HD DVD transfer of Seabiscuit (Universal Studios Home Video) both looked exceptional. Color saturation was excellent, and skin tones looked exceptionally natural. Chapter 13 is a great sequence for looking at color. When the horses and their riders are all getting into the stalls readying for the start of the race, all the primary and secondary colors are suddenly in the same scene. This is fun to observe, especially when the display's color is really accurate.
Batman Begins (Warner Home Video) also looked excellent. Chapter 25 is a good action chapter that can challenge a video processor, because of the speed of the action, and it is also a good black level torture test for displays as well as processors. The VP50 handled this scene with aplomb. Crank (Lionsgate Home Entertainment), a Blu-ray title, is another really fast-moving flick with lots of kinetically charged camera pans and edits, which should prove to be a challenge to many processors and displays alike. Take a look at Chapter 3 for some eye-popping action that literally moves a hundred miles an hour. Again, the VP50 did a fine job of handling this video.
HDTV channels from my Time Warner Cable feed were a little less inspiring, thanks to the heavy compression on my cable system, which in no way reflects negatively on the VP50. The best HD DVD and Blu-ray discs are far superior to any of the content on cable or satellite providers today, because unlike cable and some satellite, movies and TV aren't compressed to death to save bandwidth. Acknowledging this, I have to say the best of Time Warner: Discovery HD and HDNET looked quite good on both the Benq and Epson projectors using the VP50. For my permanent reference system, I have the VP50 outputting 720p to my Samsung SP-H710AE, which believe it or not outperforms all of the 1080p projectors I have yet tested in my theater. This is because of the Samsung's awesome contrast ratio and superior gamma and color accuracy.

November 2009 Journal of Geoscience Education
Volume 57, Number 5Calibrated Peer Review Assignments for the Earth Sciences
James A. Rudd, II, Vivian Z. Wang, Cinzia Cervato, Robert W. Ridky
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 328-334
Calibrated Peer Review ™ (CPR), a web-based instructional tool developed as part of the National Science Foundation reform initiatives in undergraduate science education, allows instructors to incorporate multiple writing assignments in large courses without overwhelming the instructor. This study reports successful implementation of CPR in a large, introductory geology course and student learning of geoscience content. For each CPR assignment in this study, students studied web-based and paper resources, wrote an essay, and reviewed seven essays (three from the instructor, three from peers, and their own) on the topic. Although many students expressed negative attitudes and concerns, particularly about the peer review process of this innovative instructional approach, they also recognized the learning potential of completing CPR assignments. Comparing instruction on earthquakes and plate boundaries using a CPR assignment vs. an instructional video lecture and homework essay with extensive instructor feedback, students mastered more content via CPR instruction.

Teaching Urban High School Students Global Climate Change
Audrey C. Rule, Mary A. Meyer
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 335-347
Curriculum materials designed to provide students with practice interpreting plotted evidence of global climate change were developed using graphs from the scientific literature and tested with one hundred urban high school students from a high-poverty school in a major northern city in the US. The graph interpretation lessons followed a constructivist-teaching learning cycle format. Additional activities included watching videos related to climate change and completing a graphing exercise. Students displayed motivation during the lessons along with significant improvement from pretest to posttest in graph interpretation skills and content knowledge of organisms affected by climate change. Student motivation was revealed by task commitment during the exercises as well as requests for additional activities related to investigating environmental effects on organisms and stopping global climate change. The efficacy of the lessons is attributed to the concrete, manipulative nature of the graph interpretation sets, real-world connections of the topic, the focus on interesting organisms, the opportunity for students to express their views, and the use of multi-media.

Every Equation Tells a Story: Using Equation Dictionaries in Introductory Geophysics
Jacqueline Caplan-Auerbach
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 348-355
Many students view equations as a series of variables and operators into which numbers should be plugged rather than as representative of a physical process. To solve a problem they may simply look for an equation with the correct variables and assume it meets their needs, rather than selecting an equation that represents the appropriate physical process. These issues can be addressed by encouraging students to think of equations as stories, and to describe them in prose. This is the goal of the Equation Dictionary project, used in Western Washington University's introductory geophysics course. Throughout the course, students create personal dictionaries consisting of (a) the equation itself, (b) a brief description of variables, (c) a prose description of the physical process described by the equation, and (d) additional notes that help them understand the equation. In writing these definitions students learn that equations are simplified descriptions of physical processes, and that understanding the process is more useful than memorizing a sequence of variables. Dictionaries also serve as formula sheets for exams, a task that encourages students to write meaningful, organized definitions. Furthermore, instructor review of the dictionaries is an excellent way to identify student misconceptions and learn how well they understand derivations and lectures.

Coupled Collaborative In-class Activities and Individual Follow-up Homework Promote Interactive Engagement and Improve Students Learning Outcomes in a College-level Environmental Geology Course
Leilani Arthurs, Alexis Templeton
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 356-371
Interactive engagement pedagogies that emerge from a constructivist model of teaching and learning are often a challenge to implement in larger classes for a number of reasons including the physical layout of the classroom (e.g. fixed chairs in an amphitheater-style room), the logistics of organizing a large number of students into small peer-learning groups, the ability of a single instructor to personally interact with each of many small groups, and the design of small group activities that are engaging and facilitate student learning. For a large introductory-level Environmental Geology college course, 5 coupled collaborative class-long in-class activities and individual follow-up homework were designed and implemented around key topics and specific learning goals. The goals behind designing and implementing these coupled in-class activities and homework were to (1) improve student attitudes towards science and learning science and (2) improve their content knowledge and conceptual understanding. To evaluate the extent to which these goals were achieved, 5 forms of assessment were used: a pre-instruction entrance questionnaire, pre- and post-instruction attitudinal surveys, pre- and post-instruction course tests, a post-instruction exit questionnaire, and post-instruction exit interviews. The findings from these forms of assessment suggest that the coupled in-class activities and individual follow-up homework improved targeted student learning outcomes.

Issues Regarding Student Interpretation of Color as a Third Dimension on Graphical Representations
Ximena C. Cid, Ramon E. Lopez, Steven M. Lazarus
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 372-378
In this study we report on issues related to the use of color as a third dimension on graphical representations provided to students. We find that a majority of the students sampled have a preconceived color map regarding temperature, with blue indicating low temperatures and red indicating high temperatures. Attempts to transfer this particular color map to representations of other quantities, however, may not be successful. In particular, when displaying a topographic map we found that students had a predilection to visualize a hill, regardless of the color map used. Moreover, many students ignored a systematic use of color in favor of seeing a hill in the representation. This suggests that a representation of a feature that seems obvious to an instructor may be interpreted to have a different meaning by a student. Hence, care should be taken to ensure that students interpret the use of color in figures the way the figures are intended.

Evaluating and Communicating Geologic Reasoning with Semiotics
William C. Parcell, Lisa M. Parcell
JGE, v. 57, n. 5, p. 379-389
Cognitive and conceptual uncertainties are critical elements in geology from the earliest data collection stage to concluding interpretations. How a geologist conceptually weighs the importance of various data greatly influences final interpretations. In order for the process of data selection and interpretation to be transparent and repeatable, field methods and analyses should be able to communicate these cognitive processes, yet such uncertainty is difficult to characterize and estimate with standard statistical methods based on frequency probability. Semiotics and expert systems are used to frame discussion of the methods of stratigraphic reasoning and develop a field-based method to communicate cognitive and conceptual uncertainty from data collection to final interpretation. In semiotics, signs are the meanings an observer gives to an object to reach an interpretation. Uncertainty in knowledge is derived from problems in recognizing objects and judgment of inferred relevance to a larger interpretation. A final measure of geologic interpretation certainty (IC) can be derived from the product of the confidence factor (CF) of a measurement and the relevance factor (RF) of that object to an interpretation. Communicating levels of interpretation certainty, relevance, and significance allows geologic investigations to be more transparent to subsequent geoscientists, non-geologists, and even the original investigator.

Khloe Kardashian now knows first-hand that her new hubby has game.
The brunette newlywed and her stunner sister Kim were spotted cheering Khloe's husband Lamar Odom on to victory as the Los Angeles Lakers eked out a 99-92 win against the Clippers during their home opener last night.
Lamar said last week he wasn't nervous about having his wife in the stands while he played on the court.
U.S. & World
"I've been playing for thousands of people all my life," he told E! News. "The beautiful thing about basketball is it's an intimate game, so you feed off the energy. You feed off the crowd all the time."
The newly married pair recently got tattoos of each other's initials on their. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" starlet showed off in pictures on her blog.
"I'm definitely a believer in tattoos as long as they are thoughtful and have significant meaning, which all of mine do," she wroteg.
The pair was wed on Sept. 27 in a star-studded Beverly Hills ceremony that came just a month after the two first met. The wedding will be televised on Nov. 8 on E!.
Kim is dating NFL running back Reggie Bush.

This Patong Guest House for lease is located in Patong. Patong beach, Phuket: Back in the 80's Patong was a sleepy Thai fishing village. Bangla Road (the strip) was a semi paved, barely two lane piece of road that ran from the beach to the intersection. Beer was around 25 or 30 baht also and Thai fishing boats still anchored by the score very close to the beach at night. How things have changed!
Today Patong Beach is one of the most famous destinations in the world, and better known for its nightlife and the 3.5 kilometers (2.2 mi) beach that runs the entire length of Patong's road side. Nightlife is centered in two main areas, 'Bangla Road' but there are hundreds of bars, cafes and restaurants around Patong waiting for you to walk in. The good thing about Patong is that it now offers great shopping, eateries and numerous high rated Restaurants and cafes, meaning that it's attracting more and more people and in-turn the Patong Hotel and Guest House business is doing very well.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The situation in Syria is "spinning out of control," U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Wednesday, adding that President Bashar al-Assad's government would be held responsible if it failed to safeguard its chemical weapons sites.
Syria's defense minister and Assad's brother-in-law were killed in a Damascus suicide bomb attack carried out by a bodyguard on Wednesday, the most serious blow to the president's high command in the country's 16-month-old rebellion.
"This is a situation that is rapidly spinning out of control," Panetta said, adding that the international community needed to "bring maximum pressure on (President Bashar al-Assad) to do what's right, to step down and allow for that peaceful transition."
Panetta's comments to a Pentagon news conference followed closed door talks with his British counterpart, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond. Hammond, speaking alongside Panetta, said he believed the situation in Syria was deteriorating and "becoming more and more unpredictable."
The Damascus attack, Hammond said, showed the country's growing instability as the violence gets closer to the heart of the government.
"I think what we're seeing is an opposition which is emboldened, clearly an opposition which has access increasingly to weaponry, probably some fragmentation around the edges of the regime as well," he told reporters.
The Assad government appears to be quietly shifting some chemical weapons from storage sites, Western and Israeli officials have said, but it is not clear whether the operation is merely a security precaution amid Syria's escalating internal conflict.
The Syrian government denies carrying out the operation. Syrian's undeclared stockpile - believed to be the largest of its kind in the Middle East - reportedly includes sarin nerve agent, mustard gas and cyanide.
"We've made very clear to them that they have a responsibility to safeguard their chemical sites and that we will hold them responsible should anything happen with regards to those sites," Panetta said, adding that the United States was working closely with its allies on the issue.
Hammond said it was important to marshal the support of those countries that still give tacit support to the regime, in what appeared to be a veiled reference to Russia and China.
"So our diplomacy has to focus on getting those who have the greatest influence with the regime to ensure that it acts responsibly in relations to chemical weapons," Hammond said.
