'Noise' on HD Picture - SXRD and Dishnet

Posted by O'Shag (A) on March 23, 2007 at 14:35:07

I'm looking for feedback on this - Perhaps Jack, you may have an insight.

Its hard to know the culprit. I've tried to narrow down the sole source of the noise, which I should describe in more detail.

First a look at my viewing system:
Sony KDS-R70XBR2
Dishnet DVRVIP622
top-of-line HDMI cable from Monster
Denon DVD-3910

Those of you familiar with SXRD technology know it to be capable of incredible detail. The only problem that irks me is 'movement' that goes on in very detailed scenes where movement is involved. I will classify this as noise although I'm not sure if I'm correct in this. An example would be looking at a person wearing a sports coat with lots of criss-cross patterns. American Football is another example. When the camera is in zoom i.e. the players are close-up the picture is phenomenal. But when theres a lot of high-speed action filmed from a distance there is a lot of associated 'noise' which tends to blurr things a bit. Also, with writing/letters on the screen there tends to be noise around letters, especially noticalble with white letters.

Interesteing to note, that this does not occur with movies from such stations as HDNET, KUNGFU, WORLD, FILMF, MONSTER etc. With film sources (original film transferred directly to 1080i) the picture is without any noise.

One thing I do suspect, is that the KDS-R70XBR2 shows everything - worts and all, where the ability to reproduce even the smallest details can be liability. I am strongly considering a scaler from DVDO - perhaps the iScan VP50, as I understand its scaling capabilities are excellent. I'm guessing that the noise I'm seeing can be erradicated with a high-powered scaling engine, especially for difficult diagonals etc. Does anyone have feedback on this. Quite honestly the 'noise' drives me barmy and I want to fix it. How can I get rid of this??!

Thanks from a fellow tweaker nut
