MDDi™: innovative technology for progressive scan DVD players
MDDi™ technology provides a complete solution that greatly improves quality and reduces costs compared to traditional progressive scan DVD players:
Unified architecture
MDDi technology employs an innovative, patent-pending architecture that combines the MPEG decoder, format converter, and video enhancement unit, and easily shares information among them.
Pure Edge™ engine
MediaTek’s proprietary edge processing technology eliminates the saw-tooth effect in the interlace and progressive converters, producing smooth object boundaries to create a more pleasurable viewing experience.
No compromise in Sub-title/OSD quality
MDDi’s unified architecture ensures that 4:4:4 Sub-title and OSD do not need to be down-sampled before the progressive scan process.
Low system cost
The MDDi™ unified architecture eliminates the need for an external format converter and the associated frame buffer DRAM. It also reduces the PCB cost and design effort required by manufacturers.
