Picture Quality You'll Not Believe - Snell & Wilcox Launches The Versatile ""Interpolator Gold""

Snell & Wilcox has made ""Interpolator Gold"" - the definitive home theatre video processor - even better. Interpolator Gold has that same, stunning 'film-or-better' quality that no other video processor can provide, but now offers even more versatility and a new range of powerful control options. Used with a separate PC, Interpolator Gold provides unique Home Theater Control (HTC) software, giving operation from the home theatre screen via a library of graphical control icons or via a third party control touch screen... or both. With a suitable control interface, Interpolator Gold users can now control their video, their sound system, surf the internet - even manage the entire house if desired - from the comfort of their armchair. Dealers can even install HTC software with a library of custom-generated icons, so the user can specify, or even design, icons that suit their preferences and their dÈcor. Interpolator Gold with HTC provides simultaneous mixing of applications from the dedicated PC with video viewing and, in response to customer demand, also includes a true video window.Interpolator Gold also now comes in PC-independent form for those who like their interpolation ""neat"" and don't require the power of HTC software. This is available with either its own dedicated control panel; or it can be easily interfaced to a variety of third party controllers. A PC feed-through mode allows a computer output to replace video whenever the user wants access to the wealth of PC applications available and the same input now permits direct passing of high definition television Additional features for both versions include:- Video fades for a seamless transition between channels or individual scenes - with variable fade times.- Eight onboard presets for fast and easy access to the user's favorite settings.- Outstanding effects including pan, zoom, stretch and colored borders - even monochrome if the user prefers.- New Dynamostô 3:2 processing algorithm: a new processing technique that recovers faster and is more agile when the input changes from film original based to video original based material.- DynamostSM virtually eliminates the image break-up associated with program material changes such as commercials interrupting the movie you are watching.- Variable aspect ratios gives full user control of the displayed aspect ratio.- Expanded image quality control and new noise reduction circuitry add the ability to not only sharpen, but also soften the image, while noise reduction can help mask or even eliminate image quality problems associated with less than perfect input signals.- Digital input proc amp controls. Interpolator Gold now comes configured with two serial-digital inputs offering the ability to correct for input anomalies to match input signal levels when switching inputs, and to limit picture quality changes from one input to the next.- Freeze Mode
