The VisionHDQ™ Processor from Lumagen Provides High-Performance Home Theater Scaling and Switching
New Vision™ Series Processor Offers Quad Digital Inputs For Improved Switching Capabilities
CES, LAS VEGAS, NV, Jan. 5, 2006[/B] — Lumagen, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of products for the home and corporate theater markets, demonstrates its new VisionHDQ™ video processor at CES 2006 beginning today in Las Vegas.
The VisionHDQ provides a powerful, versatile backbone for high-definition (HD) projection-based viewing systems. Four DVI-I inputs offer extensive switching capabilities among multiple high-definition source devices (both analog and digital) for dramatic performance from digital HD projectors and high-performance plasma displays. The VisionHDQ supports analog and digital output at a full 1920 by 1080p, 60-Hertz progressive resolution, while remaining easy to program for other resolutions.
The VisionHDQ is perfectly suited for refining and enhancing the images presented by front projectors and top-level plasma displays. Powerful and versatile, it provides a display resolution up to 1080p for analog and digital outputs and superior video processing capabilities — features essential to creating an exceptional viewing experience, at home or in a corporate environment. Simply stated, it delivers the performance and capabilities of processors costing far more.
The VisionHDQ is equipped with ten inputs. In addition to the 4 DVI-I inputs with HDCP there are 2 SD/HD Component inputs, 2 S-Video inputs, 1 SDI input and 1 composite input. The versatile array allows transcoding between Component and RGB analog HD sources, image scaling, and per-pixel deinterlacing up to 1080p. The Component and DVI inputs automatically switch between SD and HD sources.
Signal output is via an analog and digital DVI-I connection or with a BNC analog output. An RS232 interface is provided for upgradeability and control functions.
Key features include user-adjustable image enhancement, a built-in 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with over-sampling for analog outputs, a programmable output resolution from 480p to 1080p, plus 1080i; the ability to zoom in on any source by up to 33 percent; selectable aspect ratios of 4:3, 16:9 and 1.85; a programmable output aspect ratio from 1.33 to 2.35; and 2:2, 3:2 and 3:3 pull-down for film sources.
The VisionHDQ automatically detects NTSC, PAL and SECAM signals, and also includes four configuration memories per input with unique set-up parameters for each memory; an extensive suite of test patterns; Gamma, Y/C-delay and multipoint grayscale calibration; CUE and ICP filtering, and programmable input and output color-space. A universal power supply, and optional ears for rack mounting enhance the processor’s reliability and placement.
The VisionHDQ is the newest component in the Lumagen’s Vision™ family of video processors, which deliver the video switching, deinterlacing, scaling, calibration functions and quality necessary for creating exceptional high-definition Home Theaters and corporate viewing experiences. Other members of the Vision family include the flagship VisionPro™ HDP, which is ideal for custom-installed, high-end Home Theaters and commercial video systems; the VisionHDP, which is similar to the new Vision HDQ put with fewer DVI or analog HD inputs; and the affordable VisionDVI, which significantly refines the images presented by plasma monitors, rear-screen TVs and other big-screen displays.
The VisionHDQ video processor will be available in February ‘06 from authorized Lumagen dealers at a suggested price of $1,999.
