NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD Technology³

The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.

Hardware Decode Acceleration

Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV, DivX, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 HD and SD movies without the need for a dual or quad-core CPU.

Dual-stream Hardware Acceleration

Supports picture-in-picture content for the ultimate interactive Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience.

Dynamic Contrast Enhancement & Color Stretch

Provides post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on a scene by scene basis for spectacular picture clarity.

Dual-link HDCP Capable 4

Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc format, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays.

Enhanced Error Resilience

Correct errors or losses in broadcast content to ensure crisp, high quality playback

Advanced Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing

Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems

High-Quality Scaling

Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.

Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction)Bas Edit Correction

Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality

Bad Edit Correction

When videos are edited, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video.

Noise Reduction

Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.

Edge Enhancement

Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
