Blu-ray discs or streamed over the Internet in a highly compressed format. Artifacts generated from compression or the use of low quality scalers can result in reduced picture quality. iScan Mini is specifically designed to automatically upscale both SD and HD sources up to 4K resolution while enhancing original source content. Other key features also include video setup and adjustment tools, EDID editing, and S/PDIF digital audio output . In addition, the iScan Mini’s small package size enables a clean set up, which can be placed behind an existing A/V
Receiver, Video Processor or even wall mounted TV.
VRS® ClearView™ Technology: Video Processing
VRS ClearView technology has powered many generations of DVDO’s video processors and other home theater products. The iScan Mini features the latest generation of VRS ClearView technology including advanced 4K scaling as well as enhancement technologies to remove jaggies and mosquito noise from poor quality sources, while at the same time increasing the depth and clarity of images, making any video pop. iScan Mini sharpens Blu-ray-quality video, bringing out details and nuances not visible in the original content. It also incorporates picture enhancement presets designed for those who prefer ease of use and also provides all the necessary controls to save multiple custom settings. Since SD and HD video require different enhancements, iScan Mini automatically switches between enhancement presets based on the input video type.
Demo Mode:
A unique split screen demo mode is available allowing you to easily see the before and after for video enhancements.
Two different sweep modes let you pause an image and the sweeping bar enhances the video as it sweeps across.
VRS ClearView Technology: Adaptive Scaling
VRS ClearView Technology features 4K adaptive studio quality scaling for discerning videophiles with large screen displays or projectors. iScan Mini’s state-of-the-art 4K scaler will scale video and graphics optimally, bringing out details without any ringing on text or around black-bars, unlike embedded scalers in many displays or source devices.

iScan Mini provides three scaling modes:
- Auto mode scales anything up to 4K or the best resolution the display can handle
- DVDO mode scales compatible frame rate input video to a manually chosen resolution for those who want more control
- Off mode disables the iScan Mini’s scaler (set to 1:1 mode) while keeping other processing active
The iScan Mini works just as well with 1080p displays, scaling and enhancing SD and 720p content, bringing out hidden details, and correcting mosquito artifacts and compression noise from your SD and Internet streaming sources.
Display Setup
iScan Mini enables basic display setup by providing the test patterns necessary to adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, color/saturation levels, over scan, and resolution verification. For full 4K display set up including professional color calibration, DVDO’s AVLab TPG™ (test pattern generator) is recommended. The detailed setup instructions provided in the user’s guide will allow any display to be quickly adjusted for optimal viewing.
EDID Editing
Not all TVs report their capabilities correctly and sometimes professional installers want to force a specific video format. In particular, 4K is a new technology and not all displays handle it the same way. On-screen EDID editing capabilities allow the professional installer control to fix incompatibility issues.
