12-Mar-01

FOCUS Enhancements announced an agreement with DAVIS AS of Norway, a top maker of home theatre video projectors in Europe, under which DAVIS dealers and distributors will offer FOCUS' TruescalerOne video scaler/line quadrupler as a co-branded product. FOCUS officials said the agreement covers DAVIS resellers in 35 countries and makes FOCUS the only scaler officially endorsed by DAVIS. A video scaler is a component used with a video projector to enhance video signals coming from a VCR, DVD player, satellite receiver, cable, or other source. The result is a signal that is projected at the highest native resolution possible, resulting in images which are accurately proportioned, exceptionally sharp and vivid, and free of flicker and other artifacts. ""DAVIS is Europe's top-selling brand of video projectors as well as being a major OEM supplier,"" said Brett Moyer, Executive Vice President and COO of FOCUS Enhancements. ""This agreement gives FOCUS instant presence and credibility in key markets across Europe."" Moyer said that the ""DAVIS TruescalerOne by FOCUS Enhancements,"" as the name will appear on the product, will be available in March and is being manufactured by FOCUS in two configurations: a set-top box and a rack-mountable version. Moyer said the TruescalerOne is based on the recently-introduced FOCUS QuadScan Elite, with slight modifications to optimize performance of DAVIS projectors. DAVIS offers two models of home theatre video projectors, the CinemaOne and CinemaTen. The TruescalerOne will be marketed with both models. DAVIS AS is the largest European manufacturer of digital display equipment. Founded in 1984 in Norway, DAVIS develops and markets digital technology products using DLPô technology for multimedia presentations across a broad range of applications. FOCUS Enhancements, Inc., merged with Videonics, Inc., is a leading designer of video scan conversion ASICs, and affordable, high quality, digital video conversion and video production equipment.
