DVDO Announces Latest Design Win - DV102 Image Enhancement Engine Shipping In Latest Princeton Graphic Systems Products Shown At CES2000
DVDO, Inc., a leading Silicon Valley digital video technology company, announced at CES 2000 the design-in of their award-winning DV102 PureProgressiveô Image Enhancement Engineô format conversion chip into Princeton Graphic Systems AS3.6HD, a high-performance digital-ready 36-inch direct-view TV/computer monitor. Critical features and performance were specified for this new product by Joe Kane, recognized video and film industry luminary and creator of the best-selling DVD, ""Video Essentials."" Performance, size and versatility are the strong suits of the AS3.6HD monitor, which supports video, 480p, 1080i, and 720p digital formats as well as displaying VGA, SVGA and XGA graphics from computer sources. To dramatically improve the resolution of all standard 480i video sources including the built-in TV tuner, Princeton included performance-enhancing refinements such as the DVDO DV102 Image Enhancement Engine format conversion chip. This new award-winning scan conversion technology allows connectivity to component 480i signals from DVD players and affords further versatility over outboard line doublers by allowing variable edge enhancement and control of color and tint. The scan converter features auto source detection and employs DVDO's robust 3:2 pulldown detection technique for film source video processing. This advanced technology creates a progressive-scanned 480p image that is visibly superior to stand-alone line doublers costing thousands of dollars. The AS3.6HD is scheduled to begin shipping in February 2000. ""Our product goal was to design and manufacture the world's largest high-performance direct-view TV/HD monitor with XGA computer and native 720p HD capabilities - all in one affordable monitor,"" said William Wang, President and CEO of Princeton Graphic Systems. ""We have attained all of these goals in the AS3.6HD."" Princeton consulted extensively with industry guru Joe Kane to ensure all performance goals were achieved. David C. Buuck, CEO of DVDO, said, ""We are pleased that our PureProgressive digital video format conversion chip technology was chosen by Princeton for integration into the AS3.6HD. This is an outstanding product from one of the world's leaders in video/graphics display systems. We are also pleased to be working with Mr. Kane on great products such as those from Princeton.""
