Earns an Exceptional 4.5 Diamonds from Panel of Industry Experts SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). Networks, the leader in network video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. , today announced that its Broadcast Network Processor (BNP) has received a 4.5 Diamond rating in Broadband Gear Report's (BGR BGR Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (in Federal Republic of Germany) BGR Bulgaria (ISO Country code) BGR Blue Green Red (uncommon variant of RGB) ) esteemed 2009 Diamond Technology Reviews.
