The scan doubler & Flicker Fixer in the PIV is not perfect though. It shows some artifacts when scan doubling high speed interlaced images.

If MASTATABS ever decides to release the source code for it I'd give it a go at fixing it (if technically feasible).

If you say so, I've no idea.

Nice sell ;-)

But of course non of these modes would ever be used when you've got a Zorro III, programmable pixel rate RTG gfx card like the PIV. You would need an application that specifically required one of those extra modes for the Indivision to have the edge over a PIV with respect to features.

The PIV scandoubler is 24-bit and has programmable scan rate conversion too.

How good the scan rate conversion is on the PIV is debatable. I've never used it.

Quality is where the Indivision may have the edge over a PIV.
