DCDi by Faroudja Directional Correlation Deinterlacing is a digital enhancement method developed by Faroudja in 1996. DCDi technology is primarily used for improving the image quality of low Image resolution resolution images. The DCDi algorithm starts by deinterlacing images, using a number of techniques, including Bad Edit Detection , which detects 24 FPS film sources in 30 FPS video streams, converting the stream back to 24 FPS. The DCDi algorithm also employs edge detection to find the moving edges in a scene and adjust the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it. This eliminates staircasing and or jagged edge artifacts. These techniques won an Emmy Award from National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2001. The DCDi technique is often licensed and used in LCD and plasma television sets, as well as DVD and Blu ray players.

Unreferenced date December 2009 VM Labs was the company behind the Nuon technology which was used in several DVD players from Samsung , Toshiba , & RCA and the Streamaster IP set top box from Motorola. The Nuon technology brought features which other DVD players didn t have at the time around 2000 , such as playing games created for Nuon, visual effects while playing audio CDs provided by VLM Virtual Light Machine which was created by Jeff Minter , 128 speed rewinding fast forwarding, zooming up to 16x & many more features. VM Labs business model was as a fabless semiconductor and software platform company The founder of VM Labs, Richard Miller engineer Richard Miller , was a former vice president of Atari Corporation , and several prominent VM Labs employees including Jeff Minter were also associated with Atari Corporation prior to its takeover by JTS . As a result, many former Atari users were initially enthusiastic about the Nuon DVD technology. This enthusiasm lead to disappointment in some cases, as VM Labs was harshly criticized by some Nuon fans for promising features such as a modem and many games, but delivering very little. After a funding round collapsed shortly after September 11, 2001 VM Labs was forced to lay off half their staff and take on debt to stay afloat. Many games in development were cancelled & some developers lost money. In December 2001 VM Labs filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the Nuon technology was purchased in February 2002 by Debtor in Possession Genesis Microchip , who planned to integrate the Nuon and Faroudja technologies for the DVD market. However, in August 2002, Genesis decided to shut down the Nuon division, development on the Nuon technology was stopped, and all the former VM Labs employees were fired. Some engineers were later hired back to develop new products based on the Nuon technology. The Causes Behind VM Labs Demise The cause of VM Labs failure is a matter of debate. Some Nuon owners accuse VM Labs of poor thinking w ... more details
