Dell MediaDirect Changelog

What's new in Dell MediaDirect 4.7

• MediaDirect 4.0 continues to evolve the MediaDirect line by providing support for Blu-Ray content. MediaDirect 4.0 supports both BD Profile 1.1 BonusView and BD Profile 2.0 BD Live. Additionally, MediaDirect 4.0 no longer requires a separate partition on the hard drive. The program installs into the standard C:\ partition.
• MediaDirect 4.0 is supported only on Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems.
• TrueTheater features:
• TrueTheater Motion is a new technology that utilizes a frame-rate conversion process to ensure smoother camera movements and more fluid screen action. With the technology, users can enjoy smooth video playback-- even during rapid panning and zooming.
• TrueTheater HD, which is also new, eliminates the jagged edges of lower-resolution content that is played on high-resolution displays and removes distracting video artifacts. With the technology, standard-definition content that is played on a high-resolution display appears to have the detail of a higher-resolution image. This makes TrueTheater Detail ideal for watching low-res video from webcams, mobile TV, streamed video clips, etc. in full-screen sizes on large displays.
• TrueTheater Stretch is a non-linear stretching technique that adjusts the viewing ratio of the displayed video with minimal distortion. The software achieves excellent results by only stretching the video image on the edges of the screen, leaving the center of the screen unaffected.
• TrueTheater Lightning (CLEV, CLEV-2) intelligently adjusts video colors, contrast and brightness across movie scenes to deliver improved detail and an enhanced viewing experience. With the ability to balance overly dark and overexposed scenes, TrueTheater Lighting is ideal for correcting the loss of detail inherent with some LCD and CRT monitors. In addition to automatic and manual settings, a choice of pre-set color profiles is included to make adjustments even easier.
• TrueTheater Surround (CLMEI, CLHP, CLVS) enables a multi-channel speaker system (CLMEI) to deliver a surround sound effect from only two speakers. It also converts 2-to-6-channel audio to create up to 8 channels of surround sound. With support for multiple modes, users can optimize their playback by matching their equipment with their source content.
• For consumers with headphones (CLHP) and stereo speakers (CLVS) TrueTheater Surround can be used to simulate surround sound when multi-channel audio is played via two speakers or headphones. When used with headphones, it creates a wider sound image, as if the sound is originating at a distance from the listener.
