Engine(TM) format conversion chip into Princeton Graphic Systems AS3.6HD, a high-performance digital-ready 36" 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 DVD: see digital versatile disc. DVD in full digital video disc or digital versatile disc Type of optical disc. The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. , "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 (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. , SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. and XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. 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 (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
