NEC Video Devices to be Powered by HQV

By Digital Trends Staff June 8, 2005

NEC plasmas and projectors will soon get a Hollywood style processor boost courtesy of Silicon Valley based Silicon Optix, a company which specializes in advanced programmable video/image digital processing circuits. The new technology, known as HQV powered by Teranex, will be at the heart of NEC’s new TheaterSync external video processing unit.

The HQV technology utilizes true 10-bit video processing, full four-field motion adaptive video de-interlacing for both standard definition and high definition signals, temporal-recursive noise reduction, automatic multi-cadence detection, and pixel-based detail enhancement. The scaling engine uses up to 1024 taps and can scale all resolutions up to QXGA.

The TheaterSync until will support a variety of connectivity options, including all SD, HD, and PC signals over standard analog, DVI, and HDMI inputs. Additionally, it will incorporate the newest HQV algorithm, CNR (CODEC Noise Reduction), to reduce the artifacts caused by MPEG and other CODEC compression methodologies.

TheaterSync will be available this fall. For more info on HQV and products already powered by it, check out this site.
