2D/3D DNR noise reduction

2D-DNR noise reduction is based on the analysis of individual video frames. 3D-DNR also analyses the differences between subsequent video frames to adapt the pixels and improve image fidelity. 3D-DNR technology provides better noise reduction, however it tends to blur the moving objects.
