Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Next Scaler?

There is obviously more to things than a single chip.

At the Meridian demo recently in Bristol by Bob Stuart himself, he was demonstrating both the Meridian and Faroudja brands. Bob was happy to use a Meridian processor (G98?) for deinterlacing but used the Faroudja processor for scaling. I recall that he said that the Meridian and Faroudja processor were on a par for deinterlacing but the Faroudja processor was better than the Meridian box as more DSP processors were being used for the scaling in the Faroudja processor. This would also imply that the Meridian players have DSP processing doing on in addition to the processing already performed by the Faroudja scaler itself. This would also mean that software updates can have a significant effect on the quality of the output.
