The VP50PRO is the first video processor to use HDMI 1.3 receiver/transmitter chips that allow users to connect other HDMI-compliant 1.3 devices that support high-definition audio formats and Deep Color, available on some newer sources like HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and PS3.
The DVDO iScan VP50PRO marks the debut of three new Anchor Bay VRS technologies, Mosquito Noise Reduction, and Fine Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement, which greatly improve the quality of compressed and low-resolution content coming from STBs, DVRs, DVD, IPTV, and other digital media devices when viewed on high-resolution/high-definition displays.
Like the award-winning VP50, the VP50PRO also features 10-bit Precision Deinterlacing, 10-bit Precision Video Scaling up to 1080p, PReP (Progressive Re-Processing), Progressive Cadence Detection, and RightRate VRS technologies to maximize picture quality.
According to Craig Soderquist, CEO at Anchor Bay, “Having the VP50PRO at the heart of any high-definition video processing center guarantees customers a stunning, one-of-a-kind viewing experience. As the world’s first video processor to be HDMI 1.3 enabled, the VP50PRO offers the finest video processing image quality available today, and is creating the standard for next-generation source devices. With the addition of our exclusive mosquito noise reduction and fine detail edge enhancement technologies, customers can expect the best possible performance from their high-resolution displays.”
The VP50PRO will be shipping in September 2007.
