Toshiba Announces Projector Featuring Super Close Projection Lens, Integrated DVD Player, 5.1 Surround Sound System, and Silicon Optix's Realta HQV Processing.HANNOVER, Germany -- Toshiba has announced the et20 projector with integrated DVD player, 5.1-channel audio system, and an exclusive Super Close Projection lens that will produce a 2-meter (diagonal) image from 1-meter and a 1.5-meter image from only 70 centimeters away. The projector will also feature the Realta HQV HQV Hollywood Quality Video (processor) (R) video processor for delivering what's acknowledged as the industry's best image quality. The projector will have a retail price of EUR EUR In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Euro. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. 1599 ($1900 US) and will be available in April 2006. "Toshiba's et20 will use the no-compromise Realta HQV(R) processor, which makes any standard 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 approach the image quality of HD video. Exclusive HQV features such as pixel-by-pixel noise reduction and advanced multi-cadence detection ensure that any DVD will deliver outstanding image quality," said Gerd Holl, General Manager, Toshiba's Projection & Display Technology Group. Realta "HQV Powered by Teranex" encompasses true 10-bit video processing, full four-field motion- adaptive video deinterlacing for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, pixel-by-pixel temporal-recursive noise reduction, automatic film-mode detection, and pixel-based detail enhancement. It also uses the same video processing power--one trillion operations per second--as the $60,000 Teranex Xantus box. "Toshiba is driving a new paradigm New Paradigm In the investing world, a totally new way of doing things that has a huge effect on business. Notes: The word "paradigm" is defined as a pattern or model, and it has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework. shift by creating this new category of projector. With its ability to produce a large image from such a short distance, Realta HQV video processing and exceptional 'Anyplace' 2D keystone, and its integrated 5.1 surround sound system, this projector is sure to be a tremendous success for Toshiba, and it will set a very high bar for the rest of the industry," said Hamid Farzaneh, Executive VP of Sales and Business Development, Silicon Optix.

It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. , is the leading supplier of advanced programmable video/image digital processing integrated circuits (ICs). The company's products are driving three unique technologies into a broad range of markets: a patented, powerful, array-based programmable DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive for digital video that can perform one trillion operations/second, enabling real-time pixel-by-pixel processing of 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 ; industry-leading and Hollywood-proven software algorithms from Teranex; and proprietary eWARP(TM) geometry processing. Silicon Optix's mission is to leverage these innovative technologies into ICs that will enable the next generation of digital video/image capture, transmission, distribution, editing, storage, and display solutions.
