Progressive  signals  usually  provide  better  quality  than  interla-
ced  signals,  but  if  the  source  features  both  progressive  and 
deinterlaced  signal  outputs  it  is  good  practice  to  compare 
the  quality  of  the  pictures  reproduced  by  the C3X  in  the  two 
cases: deinterlacing performed by the C3X (thanks to Faroudja 
DCDi™ technology) is often more effective than that performed

is  a  movie  film  (obtained  from  a  Telecine  device  with  3:  or
