Many folks seem confused as to what video processors actually are. The common belief is that they just de-interlace SD material and then rescale it to some other resolution. Indeed when discussing video processors often the comments are usually about what de-interlacing chipset is used above anything else. It's true that those are important features of video processors but there is more to it than that. How they go about these tasks matter, as do some of the other features a video processor can have that may offer increases in performance over in built video processing. Here's some of the things we believe video processors should do.
Video Processors are the glue that binds together a video system. Modern displays are not able to display our old and new television standards without some form of processing being involved. Most of our video systems at home will have a large and disparate range of sources with varying output resolutions and refresh rates. None of these sources are likely to actually output a resolution or refresh rate that is optimum for our display! Good video processors are able to be configured to optimise the capture and processing of all these signals and to then output them at the most appropriate resolution and refresh rate for the source material and the display.
