•
•• • OFF : Conversion of interlaced (i) signals to progressive (p) signals is carried 
out for each field in the screen. This is ideal for using when viewing 
images with a large amount of movement.
•
•• • Video : IP conversion is carried out. The film judgment function is turned off. This 
is ideal for general video images. The DCDi function operates.•

This adjusts the IP conversion settings depending on whether the images contain large 
amounts of movement or they are still (or slow) images.
If a smaller value is selected, flickering is reduced and images become sharper and more 
detailed, so this is ideal for viewing still images. If a larger value is selected, the 
movement becomes smoother with less aliasing and so this is ideal for viewing moving 
images.Median value
