can do anything you want, all processing works for everything, if you want to bypass it you can set everything to mid point

for HD satellite I always turn on a low MNR and put edge enhancement around -10, finally I tweak the colors and contrast/brightness and turn detail enhancement on about +4

the Edge will do the best deinterlacing available in the world(ABT is considered by me to be the best deinterlacing, Lumagen is often considered the best scaling), so if you have DVHS and feed the Edge 1080i, you can do 1080p or 720p out and have the best image possible

we are also forgetting one major thing here, the Edge will correct the 8 channel PCM data with lip sync adjustment, so you can perfectly match all sources to the video, none of these other devices do this

Edge also contains a test pattern generator at whatever output resolution you use

framrate conversion as well, input any film source even SD DVD at 480i and the Edge will do 1080/24 output

you can also select your output colorpsace and the unit does perfect RGB to 444 etc, type conversions, DVI sources will not be crushed when connected into the Edge and output as HDMI

even has game mode processing for sub 1 frame delays while playing video games, eliminates controller lag

I could go on and on!!
