Dvdo Launches Edge

DVDO, an industry leader in video processing systems and video processing semiconductors, and creator of iScan(TM), the industry's first affordable line doubler, has announced the introduction of a breakthrough product -- DVDO EDGE(TM). The first affordable world-class video processor, EDGE upconverts all video formats, up to 1080P output, and improves image quality through its full complement of Anchor Bay's Video Reference Series(TM) (VRS(TM)) technologies. EDGE is also the ultimate A/V hub, with 6 HDMI 1.3 "Deep Color" inputs, 2 HDMI 1.3 outputs and a complete array of analog and digital A/V connections. Its new user interface makes setup and operation simple, and there are a number of new customization features allowing users to personalize their own setups. EDGE represents groundbreaking price/performance and offers unparalleled cost/value -- at the same price as the very first iScan in 1998 -- just $799 SRP! EDGE assures the best image quality for any digital television by incorporating all of Anchor Bay's acclaimed VRS(TM) technologies. These include Precision Deinterlacing(TM), which gives world-class deinterlacing with 10-bit precision for all sources from 480i to 1080i, and Auto PReP(TM) (Progressive Reprocessing), which has the unique ability to "undo" poor deinterlacing in source devices (DVD/set-top box, etc.) that use general purpose chips for upscaling and deliver a flawless picture to your display.
