(Nasdaq:GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) The European term for a global satellite-based radio navigation system. See Galileo. ), a world leader in the development of image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished technologies for flat-panel monitors, TVs and other consumer display products, today announced that Sun Microsystems selected Genesis Microchip's gm1601 video display controller A Video Display Controller or VDC is an integrated circuit which is the main component in a video signal generator, a device responsible for the production of a TV video signal in a computing or game system. for use in its 24-inch Wide UXGA (Ultra XGA) A screen resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. See PC display modes.  LCD monitor, model number X7197A, currently available worldwide. "We're very pleased that Sun, a leader in advanced computing, selected our technology as the key image processing solution for their new Wide UXGA high resolution monitor," said Anders Frisk, executive vice president of Genesis Microchip. "Our solution offers increased video performance, featuring versatile Picture-in-Picture (PIP) capabilities, full frame rate conversion and Standard and High Definition processing." The gm1601 display controller is a fully integrated, single chip solution for multifunction LCD monitors supporting resolutions up to Wide UXGA (1920 x 1200) and HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates video up to 1920 x 1080. It features motion adaptive deinterlacing and low angle directional interpolation interpolation In mathematics, estimation of a value between two known data points. A simple example is calculating the mean (see mean, median, and mode) of two population counts made 10 years apart to estimate the population in the fifth year. for high-quality TV playback. The gm1601 controller also offers motion adaptive noise reduction and inverse 3:2/2:2 pulldown for Film Mode. RealColor(R) technology provides digital brightness and contrast controls. sRGB compliance enables the LCD monitors to replicate the same colors as viewed on CRTs and other displays. The gm1601 has an integrated, full-screen bit-mapped OSD (1) (On-Screen Display) An on-screen control panel for adjusting monitors and TVs. The OSD is used for contrast, brightness, horizontal and vertical positioning and other monitor adjustments. and industry-leading TV OSD creation tools for rich ICON-based controls.
