NextVision N6 Transforms Computer Displays Into HDTV And Digital Entertainment DisplaysViewSonicÆ Corp. announced the shipment of its NextVision N6 high-definition video processors. The N6 enables consumers to maximize the performance of their display products through the use of multiple forms of digital entertainment, including high-definition TV (HDTV).At an estimated street price of $399, the N6 is available for about half the cost of many competitive video processing solutions, providing a more affordable option to consumers who value high-quality TV and digital entertainment for their high-resolution computer display, projector, or plasma screen. With the N6, displays that support up to 1280 x 1024 resolution can become HDTV and digital television (DTV) monitors through component video input connections (YPbPr). A 3D comb filter supports both EDTV and HDTV resolution formats, including 480p, 720p, and 1080i, and provides sharp, crisp images for optimum picture detail. Full-screen viewing and picture-in-picture (PIP) capabilities are available, making it possible for video or TV content to be displayed over data screens when connected to a PC. Multi-view or picture-on-picture (POP) is provided, giving users the option of creating up to nine picture windows on the screen for simultaneous viewing of multiple TV channels. ""As more content is created in digital formats, it becomes increasingly important for users to have options available to view it,"" said Gene Ornstead, Director of Business Development, Advanced Products, ViewSonic Corp. ""This newest addition to our line of video processors offers a quality solution that allows users to utilize the full capabilities of their displays by connecting multiple sources of digital or analog input."" Reverse 3:2 pull-down correction enables the N6 to eliminate jitter in DVD movies originated from motion picture film, while RGB computer pass-through permits users to watch TV or DVD movies with or without a computer. Other standard features include a 181-channel TV tuner, stereo audio pass through, an on-screen control menu, a sleep function mode, S-video, composite video, and the ability to easily connect to DVD players, VCRs, video camcorders, and high-resolution game consoles, such as the Microsoft XboxÆ, Sony PlayStationÆ 2, and Nintendo Game Cube. For added convenience, the product also ships with a remote control and provides options for parental control and closed-caption viewing. Its stylized industrial design allows for horizontal or vertical placement of the N6 on a desk or shelf to save users considerable space.
