Top Video Electronic Experts To Explore Image Quality Issues

21-May-04

Video quality is fast becoming the name of the game for projection and flat panel displays for both enterprise and consumer markets. The brains of the video system, the media processors, controller ICs, and even the display drivers have a dramatic effect on image quality and product differentiation. These components are also expanding the horizons of large display devices opening new opportunities and markets world wide for Pro AV integrators, display manufacturers and related partners. This year's Projection Summit, being held June 7-8, 2004 in Atlanta, just prior to InfoComm 2004, features a session examining the video electronic side of the large display supply chain. Through presentations and a moderator-led question and answer period, the session will address these key questions: Are we seeing evolutionary advances in display electronics or are revolutionary changes coming? How is the treatment of video changing due to the influences of HDTV and convergence of electronics for TV, ProAV, and IT products? Which features and performance levels are best for what products? What are the key trends and challenges facing video processing chip set makers and display system integrators? What is the impact of AV/IT convergence on the IC supply chain? How will next-generation electronics empower new products or enhance existing ones? Featured speakers include: Mike Callahan of Pixelworks will explore the variables that dictate image quality and the efficient management of video data through each phase of the system. Emphasis will be on ways of controlling artifacts and enhancing the video image to help raise performance standards. Charles O'Roark from Analog Devices will present on advanced TV interface issues that enable the HD and ED TV experience and give a brief overview on what types of advanced interface connectors consumers can expect to find. Dennis Crespo from Silicon Optix looks at keys to expanding the market through next generation video processing that empowers end users application flexibility and enhances image quality. Dan Turow of Gennum explores the paradigm shift taking place in video signal display processing from low bandwidth 8 bit encoding to the traditionally high-end broadcast quality 10-bit process. A review of signal paths and image processing devices helps put the issue in perspective. The session will be moderated by Dr. Dave Slobodin of InFocus, a leading industry expert on displays and video electronics.
