Toshiba's new xDE (Extended Detail Enhancement) DVD player aims to save your DVD collection. xDE uses a chipset with parameters specially developed for Toshiba and a combination of user-controlled picture improvement techniques including upconversion, edge enhancement, and color remapping to deliver a new level of Near HD video quality from Standard DVDs.


Sharp Mode -- Edge Detail Enhancement
Sharp Mode provides edge enhancement. By naturally enhancing the edge of a picture, the outline and detail of that picture becomes clearer and more detailed.

Detail Enhancement improves the edge detail where necessary in the picture without added video noise. xDE technology can adaptively control each edge signal in a picture. If an edge signal is high, picture noise is created, on the other hand, when an original edge level is low, xDE technology adaptively enhances edge & noise level, as needed Added noise reduction technology increases the effect of edge enhancement. The result is a sharper, more detailed image.

Sharp Mode -- Contrast Enhancement

With contrast enhancement, gradation becomes clearer, adaptively by enhancing contrast. Contrast is enhanced in darker scenes without affecting the lighter scenes. This mode is best for movies with dark scenes, such as a SciFi movie. Since its adaptive, the level of enhancement varies with each scene.

Contrast Enhancement intelligently adjusts contrast levels where needed without boosting surrounding contrast. For example, here is an example of the effect of boosting contrast in a shady area under a tree without adjusting the contrast levels of the tree.

Color Mode -- Intelligent Color

Color Enhancement intelligently adjusts colors only where necessary to provide more vivid color reproduction. For example, grass can be made greener without impacting surrounding colors in the image.
