For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. technologies announced today the official launch of their Powered by ABT brand to the commercial market. Anchor Bay Technologies provides both chip and system level video processing solutions to equipment manufacturers and end customers. ABT is engaged in the sale of its semiconductor technology to OEMs for design into new video products, and also maintains a global distribution and sales network for its system-level product line.

Best known for fronting The Shamen during their most commercially successful era, Mr C is also an acclaimed house music DJ and co-owner/co-founder of London's The End nightclub . H. Chee stated, "ABT's Precision Video Scaling technology was first deployed in ABT's DVDO iScan HD. It has recently been designed into Marantz's DV9600 DVD player A stand-alone device that plays DVDs. It contains a DVD drive and the electronics to decode the digital video. The device may play only manufactured DVDs, or it may be able to play DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. DVD players are cabled to a TV or home theater system for display. as well as Denon's flagship DVD player, the DVD-5910. All of our technologies are now available to manufacturers that demand exceptional video scaling performance." Anchor Bay Technologies is the original creator of the award winning line of DVDO(R) iScan(TM) video processor products and the first single chip video de-interlacer that incorporated 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down. Other trademarked technologies that will be marketed under Powered by ABT include: Precision Video Scaling(TM), RightRate(TM), AutoCUE-C(TM), and Precision AV LipSync(TM). Precision Video Scaling is the first of ABT's technologies being offered to OEMs. In the coming months new leading edge technologies that support the requirements of today's high Today's High The intra-day high trading price. Notes: In other words, this is the highest price that a stock traded at during the course of the day. More often than not this is higher than the closing price. See also: Today's Low definition displays will also be made available. Available Powered by ABT Technologies: ABT's Precision Video Scaling(TM) technology is based on ABT's proprietary video scaling engine that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to achieve an outstanding picture quality for today's high resolution video displays. The scaling engine is completely flexible, accepting standard definition (480p, 576p) and high definition (720p and 1080i) inputs and outputting any resolution from VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. (640x480) to 1080p (1920x1080) with multiple standard and custom aspect ratios. Since the scaling engine is completely flexible, other image manipulation features are also supported including zoom, pan and border controls. ABT's RightRate(TM) technology converts the input frame rate to the optimal display frame rate without causing 'tearing' in the output frame. ABT's high performance frame rate conversion also supports converting film sources from 24 frames per second to 48, 60 or 72 frames per second for NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. format and from 25 frames per second to 50 or 75 frames per second for PAL/SECAM format. The higher frame rates eliminate flicker in high-end displays such as CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. front projectors. In addition, driving displays at 48 or 72 frames per second (NTSC) and 75 frames per second (PAL) often results in smoother motion in panning scenes. ABT's RightRate technology is extremely flexible, allowing the output frame rate of the video source to be changed to precisely match the frame rate requirement of today's high resolution displays. ABT's AutoCUE-C(TM) technology automatically detects and removes chroma Short for "chrominance." The attributes of a color, which include its hue (frequency) and saturation (amount of black). See hue and saturation. artifacts artifacts see specimen artifacts. caused by incorrect up-sampling of the chroma (color) signals by MPEG decoders in DVD players and satellite receivers. These artifacts are especially noticeable as horizontal streaks in images with highly saturated colors. When these artifacts are removed, the picture quality of the images is significantly improved. ABT's Precision AV LipSync(TM) technology automatically delays the audio signal to match the video processing delay in DVDO products. As a result, the AV lip-sync problem that is caused by video processing delay is eliminated. The audio delay can also be further adjusted to correct the AV lip-sync problem that may be already be present in the AV source. "Anchor Bay Technologies has a history of creating innovative technologies for the home theater An audio/video entertainment center that has a large-screen TV and hi-fi system with three speakers in the front (left, right and center) and left and right speakers in the rear. Starting in the early 1990s, video inputs were added to stereo receivers and preamplifiers. market. In 1997, ABT's design team founded DVDO Inc., and launched a product that revolutionized the home theater video line doubler market. Powered by ABT is the future of the conversion process to HD resolution video for equipment manufacturers. Because of our success with Denon and various other CE manufacturers, we believe it is time to open up ABT's chips and system level video processing solutions to a wider audience," concluded Anchor Bay Technologies CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
