TheaterTek DVD incorporates a feature rich Aspect Ratio Controller. Designed specifically for Home Theater enthusiasts, the AR Editor allows the 4 primary DVD aspect ratios to be defined as well as any number of custom Aspect Ratios. These can be associated with individual DVD's and automatically reformat the video playback to adjust to specific screen sizes. As a DVD changes from a 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio for example, the video will be dynamically adjusted to compensate.

Bookmarks allow specific scenes in a movie to be marked so that they can be recalled later. This allows your favorite movie scenes to be replayed at any time. TheaterTek DVD takes this one step further by incorporating a unique Movie Start feature. When the Movie Start feature is invoked during the opening credits, a bookmark is saved so that when the DVD is replayed at a later date, it will automatically begin playback at the start of the main feature.

TheaterTek DVD allows the adjustment of Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Gamma* directly on-screen to optimize the video playback quality. Built-in 'scoped' settings for NVIDIA cards make this adjustment a snap. Video settings can even be saved on a per-DVD basis to compensate for overly dark movies.  *Dependent on hardware capabilities of graphic card.

DVD Decoders

TheaterTek DVD is built on DVD decoders from NVIDIA Corporation, a world leader in MPEG-2 technology.

These provide the highest video and audio quality available, producing a stunning DVD playback experience for both NTSC and PAL format DVD's.

To prevent 'burn-in' of expensive CRT projectors, TheaterTek DVD incorporates a built-in screen saver that slowly bounces a logo around the screen after a period of inactivity.

This logo can be replaced with a user-defined graphic so your Home Theater can take on its own personality.
