FOCUS Enhancements' third generation, proprietary NTSC/PAL digital video co-processors will be demonstrated in the Samsung Semiconductor Booth (Booth #142). The new FOCUScan FS400 video co-processor and i-Net TV FS450 video encoder (multiple patents pending) have several new features never before available in a low-cost ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. , raising the bar in video quality standards for Internet appliances, televisions, large screen computer monitors, network computers, PC motherboards, PC add-on graphic cards, and cable and video scan conversion set-top boxes. The FS400 is the highest quality NTSC/PAL digital video co-processor on the market, supporting non-interlaced resolutions up to 1600x1200 and beyond. It is compatible with virtually all monitor refresh rates up to 152Hz, and unlike other PC-to-TV video conversion chips, supports high quality compression with independent horizontal and vertical underscan. The FS400 accommodates a broad range of resolutions and displays the entire contents of a computer screen on any size television. It is the only scan converter chip capable of scaling 4:3 computers to 16:9 TVs, and preserves line color and intensity with all compression and flicker reduction settings. Additionally, it has an innovative 2D flicker filter that restores image sharpness for enhanced Asian text and small font readability. The i-Net TV FS450 Interface Video Processor uses the same 2D flicker filter and TrueScale technology from the FS400 with direct digital inputs to today's leading Intel and National embedded 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. controllers and most 3D graphic chips.

"Any viewer can immediately see the impact of FOCUS' 2D flicker filter and TrueScale technology. We believe that the FS400 is perfect for PC-ready TVs while the FS450 is the best TV output for TV-ready PCs and Internet set-top boxes globally." FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. is an industry leader in the development and marketing of advanced, propriety video conversion ASICs for the rapidly converging, multi-billion dollar Internet, computer, and television industries.
