The DVDO® iScan™ Edge is a high quality video processor and intelligent A/V hub that converts standard definition, high definition and PC signals from up to ten sources to any HDTV resolution up to 1080p. EDGE has complete aspect ratio control that allows you to watch the way that you want, with or without the "black bars". EDGE will also automatically sync up the audio with the video, eliminating the AV lipsync problem.

Compatibility

Compatible with enhanced-definition or high-definition widescreen TVs with an HDMI audio/video input or a DVI video input and AV Receivers with an HDMI or Optical Digital audio input.

The iScan™ Duo is Anchor Bay's first video processor to feature two HDMI 1.3 video outputs and eight HDMI 1.3 inputs. The iScan Duo converts standard definition, high definition and PC signals from your DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray Disc player, DVR, game console, or HTPC to any output resolution up to 1080p.

The iScan Duo serves as your complete A/V hub, providing audio/video switching that simultaneously eliminates A/V lipsync and allows direct connections to your TV, projector and A/V Receiver.

The DVDO iScan VP50^PRO is the world's first video processor to be HDMI1.3 enabled. The iScan VP50PRO converts standard definition, high definition and PC signals from your DVD players, HD-DVD player, Blu-ray Disc player, HD-DVR, game console, or PC to any output resolution up to 1080p

VRS Video Reference Series Technology

Specifications Sheet

The Precision Deinterlacing Card will dramatically improve the 480i/576i deinterlacing performance of your iScan VP30 or VP20. It eliminates many of the artifacts found in common deinterlacers to produce a smooth image, free of artifacts such as jagged edges and combing. And for Home Theater Gaming applications, the Precision Deinterlacing card can be set to minimize the real-time response with maximum performance.

VRS Precision Deinterlacing features five-field motion-adaptive deinterlacing and edge-adaptive processing for video sources, along with advanced cadence detection for film and animation sources. Sports fans will appreciate the motion-adaptive and edge-adaptive deinterlacing which preserves the image detail while eliminating ragged edges on low angle diagonals, and flicker. The resulting picture is smooth and free of digital artifacts. Other special features include the ability to correctly detect multiple source types within a frame (e.g. video titles over film), and compensation to minimize artifacts caused by sequence breaks in film content.

Gamers will be pleased to hear that the card features two different "Game Modes". In many competitive processors the effects of applying complex algorithms to the video image results in upwards of a seven frame delay. This can inhibit the "real-time" performance for gamers who want instantaneous response to react to stimuli and to realize peak performance from their application. "Game Mode 2" will reduce frame delay down to 2 frame delay with edge and motion adaptive processing, and "Game Mode 1" yields slightly less than one frame delay, while still performing edge adaptive processing.

Upgrade your iScan VP30, HD or HD+ with the PrecisionSDI™ Digital Video Input Card

The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) standard is used by professional broadcast studios and video production centers (SMPTE259M standard interface). The advantage of SDI is that the decompressed digital video data is transmitted directly from a digital source, such as your DVD player or satellite receiver, into your iScan VP30, HD+ or HD when upgraded with this SDI input module. Your video signal remains in the digital domain, avoiding quality-degrading digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion steps, and thereby retaining the best possible picture clarity.

The PrecisionSDI™ Video Input Card takes this pure digital signal, deinterlaces and scales it (all in the digital domain), converting to any output resolution between 480p and 1080p, allowing you to view all your video source at the optimum output resolution.
