SENSIO Technologies Inc. ("SENSIO") (TSX Venture Exchange Inc.: SIO), the inventor of the SENSIO™ 3D technology, is proud to announce the development of its first generation 3D high definition decoder chip which will also feature JVC’s (Victor Company of Japan) unique real time 2D to 3D conversion technology. The SENSIO™ chip will not only allow spectacular 3D content delivery with quality rivalling with the best 3D Digital Cinema experiences, it will allow home viewers worldwide to enjoy all of their favourite SD or HDTV shows and movies in full color, full resolution 3D on any display. At the heart of the SENSIO™ Chip is the SENSIO™ 3D decoder that allows the decoding of the largest and growing library of 3D movies including major Hollywood titles such as “Spy Kids 3-D – Game Over” and the classics “Jaws 3-D” and “Creature from the Black Lagoon” with stunning realism and quality. The SENSIO™ formatting engine inside the chip also allows the formatting of the 3D content in multiple output formats to fit any display device. With today’s agreement, the SENSIO™ Chip will also feature JVC’s technology that will allow any regular 2D content to be displayed in 3D providing the consumer with an infinite selection of quality 3D entertainment. “We have been exposed to many real time 2D to 3D conversion technologies but up to now, they all fell short of our quality expectations. JVC’s technology is by far the most advanced and efficient real time conversion technology that exists. This new agreement will make our chip the ultimate 3D solution to be integrated into manufacturer’s A/V product says Nicholas Routhier, SENSIO President.
