DVDO iScan Duo High Definition Video Processor (Black) Review

The DVDO ISCAN DUO is a switcher, a scaler / deinterlacer, a video process and more. It includes a very decent color management system, which is what makes it so outstanding for the price. Many TVs just don't have the adjustments built in to properly calibrate them. Even a pro can only make modest differences in a TV without a CMS (color management system).

The only comparable products on the market to the DUO are the Radiance Video Processors. The DUO is much more user friendly and it one third the price of the comparable Radiance. I could swap out almost every piece of my video chain and I would not cry... take my DUO away and I would be ready to go to war.

With SpectraCal's Calman, or Huffman's ChromaPure you can automate the complete calibration process. Yes a manual calibration using either of these 3rd party programs can produce slightly better results, but with a decent color meter, the DUO and ChromaPure or Calman, an amatuer can pretty much duplicate a $500 calibration..

If you are using a front or rear projector the quick automated calibration capability is a big deal because the calibration changes as the lamp ages and makes less light. The lamp light also changes color as the lamp ages. With the DUO and the right software you could calibrate once a month if you wanted to and maintain that just pro-calibrated performance without the reocurring price.

I have owned the DUO for a couple years and went through all the firmware betas, so if you only tried ths with early firmware you really don't know what the VP can do. Only downside is DVDO was bought out and future firmware development is an open question. Having said that, the Duo is pretty much a finished device. The professional calibration software developers support is what conitnues to make the DUO more valuabe by continually refining their autocalibration support. The DUO is a professional class VP at a consumer level price.

If there is a next generation of this product for half the price.. it would get five stars from me. The Radience products are slightly better but the full blown Radiance can cost upwards of 5 thousand dollars.
