The DVO Image Processing tools from Digital Vision have been designed specifically to provide industry professionals with image enhancement tools that deliver the
flexibility and quality demanded by the industry's leading mastering engineers. Combined with Sonic CineVision® they deliver a unique and unbeatable encoding
solution that powerfully enhance your encodes to deliver stunning, unbeatable results.
Particularly useful for optimizing encodes at lower bit rates, the DVO plug-ins enable compressionists to process entire source files or specific segments -
sharpening them, removing dust and drop-outs, as well as changing and controlling film grain.
Having the unique processing power of DVO built into CineVision is a huge time saver as compressionists can optimize their source without having to rely on a
mastering engineer. You can even apply filters on specific segments after your initial encode is complete to ensure you’re achieving perfect results.

Built-in Restoration Tools
Do you have clients shooting on film or customers working with older TV material? Are those clients spending a great deal of money sending their material off for
restoration before you get hold of masters for encoding? Perhaps you already offer high-end restoration services but would like to optimize your workflow by
encoding at the same time? DVO Dust is the answer you’ve been looking for.

DVO Dust is third generation technology that utilizes Digital Vision's Emmy Award-winning PHAME™ motion estimation technology to remove dust and scratch marks from your source material. It's also optimized for multiple-core CineVision systems to deliver perfect dust and scratch removal without unwanted artifacts exceptionally quickly.

Powerful Grain Management
Film grain and the CCD noise associated with digital HD cameras is a new and significant challenge that didn’t really exist when encoding SD footage. Removing
grain completely would be a mistake as its key to the authentic HD experience but how can it be dealt with effectively? The answer lies with DVO Grain – advanced
grain management technology that can make subtle or significant reductions to the level of grain in your source to perfectly match the bit rate you’re working with.

Encoding complex noise signals like film grain can consume a lot of valuable bandwidth in your encoded video. If your source has too much grain or noise the resultant encode will end up with unwanted artifacts. With DVO Grain you can make subtle or significant reductions to the level of grain to perfectly match the bit rate you’re working with. DVO Regrain is also included with CineVision to add realistic grain signals to your source enabling you to add that ‘film look’ to clean sources. You can even combine it with DVO Grain to replace unpleasant hard-to-encode grain with new cleaner grain.
DVO Grain incorporates Digital Vision’s Emmy award-winning motion compensation technology which avoids the lag, smear and softening effects you can get with many other filters. Amongst its fine controls DVO Grain also allows you to accurately control the amount of grain removal in low- and high-light areas. DVO Regrain allows you to add realistic film grain that accurately models all sorts of film stocks. Both plug-ins enable compressionists to accurately control the grain amount, size, intensity, and sharpness to low and high-light areas.

Sharpen Tired Images
In today's lengthy post-production workflow it's all too common for compression masters to be lacking the sharpness that's essential to deliver the complete HD
experience to consumers. Even at the start of the process the best film scanners can have a negative effect on the higher frequency content of each frame. Combine
that with the variety of filters used during mastering and there is a tendency for pictures to end up looking pretty tired by the time it comes to compression.
Today's HD compressionists need to be able to inject a bit of life into client's material to make their encodes look sharper than the competition. The solution is
here: DVO Aperture.
Learn More
DVO Aperture provides an industry proven high-quality spatial filter that enhances the sharpness from frame to frame without introducing unwanted artifacts. As with all of the DVO plug-ins, you can also use DVO Aperture in conjunction with the other filters to sharpen edges after filtering out unwanted noise.

Fix Aliasing Problems with Interlaced Sources
A surprisingly common problem with interlaced video material is the aliasing effects you see on fine horizontal lines like a car grill or those 'not so
fashionable' stripy shirts! Aliasing is caused by high vertical frequencies that interlaced displays can't cope with. Not only are those flickering lines unpleasant
to look at, they can also consume a lot of valuable bits in your encodes. DVO Alias allows you to quickly remove both the unwanted aliasing and the loss of encoding
efficiency it causes so that your interlaced encodes end up looking great!
Learn More
DVO Alias is a high-quality filter that allows fine adjustment of its cut-off frequency so that you can accurately remove problematic out-of-band vertical frequencies. Like all of the DVO plug-ins it's highly optimized for multiple-core CineVision systems.

Low Pass Filtering – Optimizing low bit rate encodes
Higher frequency content like fine textures and sharp edges consume a lot of bandwidth in your HD encodes so, at lower bit rates in particular, you might need to
filter out those problematic high frequencies. If you don't, you'll almost certainly end up with some unwanted blocking artifacts. Having a fully configurable
low-pass filter that allows you to set the perfect amount of low-pass filtering for the material and bit rate you're working with is crucial in order to deliver the
best possible video encodes.

DVO Brickwall is one of the most advanced low-pass filtering systems to ever grace the compression stage. It provides independent control of cut-off frequencies for both luma and chroma components in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
