The Darblet uses DarbeeVision's patented Darbee Visual Presence technology. This powerful human-vision-based model for digital image enhancement provides a sublime solution for improving the perceived depth and realism of images.
The processing is super fast, performed intra-frame so that there is no time delay, eliminating the lip-sync issues that are inherent with many video processors. Naturally, this makes DVP-5000 great for watching videos and movies, but it also means that the Darblet can be used to enhance video games, where lag simply isn't acceptable!
The effect is so significant that some have commented that it rivals the realism of 4K Ultra HD displays using existing 1080p source material and displays. More than that, the Darblet can noticeably enhance virtually any resolution. The DVP-5000 offer lots of options and adjustments, and it comes with a handy remote control, making it easy to fine tune right from your viewing position.
Devices to improve the appearance of video have been around for as long as video. Most of them had a noticeable effect, but unfortunately, the effect wasn't necessarily good. With Darbee Visual Presence, that seems to have changed. Hard-core video reviewers have become fans of the Darblet. Some of them are the same people who, in the past, have gone out of their way to let their readers know that they had to turn off all of the video enhancement features that were built into the particular display device that they were reviewing because it just made the picture worse. But the DVP-5000/Darblet is different. Everyone can see the difference, but more than that, most people agree that the resulting images look better. People use adjectives like, immersive, deep, 3D, pop, detailed, sharp, revealing...always preceded by the word, "more". The enhancement scheme is based upon human perceptual algorithms, so it is possible that some given individual will not perceive the change as being an improvement, but DarbeeVision's unusual satisfaction warranty does build confidence. All one stands to lose is shipping costs, so why miss out on what could be the greatest thing since HDTV?
The Darblet comes as shown below, in a full retail box, complete with an IR remote control, a power supply, Quick Start Guide, and the DVP-5000 unit itself. The included power supply is of a universal design, so it will work just about anywhere in the world, although the plug is intended for the USA, so international customers will need a passive adapter for the plug.
The Darblet is made in the USA. It comes with a remarkable 30-day 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, with 100 percent refund of purchase price (less shipping fees) if you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, and further warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for one year. If a defect is discovered, DarbeeVision will, at its option, repair or replace the product at no charge provided it is returned during the warranty period, with transportation charges prepaid, to DarbeeVision.
Darbee Visual Presence™ technology establishes a fundamental breakthrough for image realism. By embedding 2D and 3D pictures with depth information, a new visual experience is born.
It will add intense depth and clarity to any video -- enabling ultra-immersive visuals. As a video processor module in a small housing, DarbeeVision technology simply plugs into any HDMI media device and will enhance the output of any video stream, like DVD, Blu-ray, smart phone, and media players and any digital broadcast -- on both standard and high-definition TVs.
Images actually help you to see them better. Enabled by parallel processing in a single chip, DVP represents the next generation of computational image processing for depth and realism. Your eyes will thank you!
It’s…worth every penny, and then some. Get one for every display you have in your house. I did.
