DENON SELECTS REALTA HQV™ VIDEO PROCESSING
CHIP FOR ITS FLAGSHIP DVD PLAYER
World preview at London Hi-fi Show on November 5, 2004
San Jose , Calif. (Nov 5, 2004 ) - Silicon Optix’s Realta chip with Hollywood Quality Video (HQV ) technology has been selected by Denon for its new DVD-A1XV DVD player (DVD-5910) in the USA .

“For our flagship DVD player we needed the industry’s flagship video processor. Once we did side-by-side comparisons, we quickly realised that there really was no other solution that could match the incredible picture quality that the Realta HQV chip delivers,” commented Roger Batchelor, Product Manager of Denon UK .

The award-winning Realta chip originates from Teranex’s $60,000 broadcast and post-production platforms. Teranex’s software algorithms run on Realta’s fully-programmable, trillion operations per second video processing engine to deliver a new standard in image quality, a standard Silicon Optix is calling ‘Hollywood Quality Video’, or HQV.

HQV represents the world’s highest quality de-interlacing, pixel-based noise reduction, automatic per pixel film/video cadence detection, and detail enhancement.

“No other technology enables a level of image quality that comes close to HQV, when converting standard DVD video and film to high definition, “ said Roger from Denon.

“With the introduction of the DVD-A1XV consumers can upgrade their home theater systems to experience true Hollywood Quality Video,” continued Roger. “The Denon DVD-A1XV, which is already seriously high-end in every respect, will feature the ’HQV Powered by Teranex‘ logo so that customers know that they are getting the world’s very best video processing, in the world´s best DVD Player."

“The Realta HQV chip is the new leader in video processing. Big kudos to Denon for being the first manufacturer to bring this powerful Teranex-in-a-chip video processing to the home," said Pete Putman of HDTVExpert.com

The Denon-A1XV DVD player will be available in the UK in the first quarter of 2005 and has an RRP of £2499.99 (TBC) US availability of the DVD-5910 should be in the same timeframe.

Αλήθεια ξέρετε τι σημαίνει Terranex?

Ειναι οτι πιο κοντά στη κινηματογραφική κίνηση που υπάρχει παγκόσμια αυτή τη στιγμή.
Και οταν γράφω κοντά εννοώ 99,99% !!!!

Πάρτε μια ματιά εδώ από τα χαρακτηριστικά του. Τιμή: $59,500,οο USA

Received Product of the Year Award (Stereophile Guide to Home Theater, 2003).

The Teranex video processor performs 1 Trillion operations per second and is the world's most sophisticated scaler/upconverter for both film and video sources. The picture quality from DVD's usually exceeds that from high definition sources such as D-VHS (results of "A/B" comparisons by videophiles).

The Teranex is the only video processor that performs "Inverse Telecine". For movies, this restores the film's 24 frames per second which results in a stunning high resolution 3-dimensional picture.

Additional features include:

*PixelComp Motion Compensated Deinterlacing (pixel by pixel deinterlacing algorithm for the best possible image quality).

*32-Point Optimal Interpolation provides the most sophisticated scaling algorithms (used by broadcast facilities to produce high definition content).

*Scene Change Detection, Aspect Ratio Control, Detail Enhancement, Custom Colorspace Conversion

*Color Touchscreen; RS232 and IP control

The Teranex video processor was first introduced in 2001 with a price tag of $125,000. "I'll tell you this for a fact-- had I a hundred grand to spend, I would buy the Teranex Xantus and never look back. It is simply and unmistakably that good."--J.V.'s review in The Perfect Vision.

The Teranex HDX Cinema MX was included in the projection system that received the Robb Report's "The Best of the Best Award" for Home Theater.

Τώρα αν εφαρμόζει το νέο Denon ΕΣΤΩ ένα κομμάτι/τμήμα της επεξεργασίας του Terranex (πήρε κάποια δικαιώματα δηλαδή) μιλάμε για τέλος εποχής των DVDp.
Και το εννοώ κύριοι!!

Περισσοτερα απο χθεσινο δελτιο τυπου της Denon:

Following are the most interesting bits from the press pack we received today on Denon’s frankly mouthwatering-sounding, upcoming (first quarter of 2005) flagship DVD deck…

"$200 million worth of video technology from Lockheed-Martin missile guidance research, transitioned to Hollywood digital editing suites, then to USA high-definition TV networks and now exclusively to this Denon DVD Player. Basically, in the upcoming Denon DVD-A1XV you’re getting the technology used to generate broadcast HDTV pictures from standard material and to clean-up and remaster Hollywood movies like the Star Wars Trilogy built into a commercial DVD player - real rocket science at real-world pricing.

Denon has packed $60,000 worth of this 'HQV by Teranex' video processing (for more on this, see the section below) into the THX-Ultra specified DVD-A1XV to deliver High-Definition level pictures from standard DVD, making it one of the most serious DVD players on the planet – even though its price will probably only be somewhere between £2k and £2.5k (final price TBC).

Other features of this deck include compatibility with DVD-Audio and SACD discs, plus connectivity that includes HDMI, DVI, FireWire, Denon Link 3, Progressive Component, Composite, S-Video, and RGB Scart.

The DVD-A1XV features advanced technological architecture, battleship audiophile construction and brings together all of Denon’s extensive digital experience to deliver stunning results - for audio as well as video.

Weighing over 40 pounds (18kg), the A1XV features massive high-end audiophile construction; a multi-layer case, alloy fascia and side-panels, internal copper construction, sintered aluminium transport and organic anti-vibration coatings. The player is also laid out with a three box, six block internal design to isolate analogue, digital and video circuits AND has multiple independent power supplies.

HQV by Teranex
The sort of pristine images previously available only to Hollywood post production and broadcast facilities (and anyone else with a spare $60,000 to spend) are now available to real people, with the introduction of the Denon DVD-A1XV featuring the new ‘Realta with HQV’ single-chip video processor. The Realta chip is the result of three years of collaboration between Silicon Optix and Teranex, a leading supplier of image processing solutions for the broadcast, post-production, and high-end home cinema markets.

To quote Jed Deame, Teranex's co-founder; "Realta's HQV technology matches, and in many cases exceeds, the industry leading video processing seen in the $60k Teranex Xantus system, dramatically raising the bar for home picture quality."

Combining Teranex's trillion operation-per-second broadcast-quality video processing with Silicon Optix's proprietary geometric scaling technology and Denon's supporting high-end hardware, the Realta chip creates a new standard for image quality.

When Teranex uses the term "broadcast quality", one can presume that they know what they're talking about. Teranex video processors are used by numerous post-production and broadcast studios.

HQV Powered by Teranex Has a Proven Reputation
Realta's Hollywood Quality Video isn't "just another video processor". Its core technology includes Teranex's software algorithms that have been refined through 100,000 hours of content verification over the past six years by hundreds of the most demanding customers world-wide – the "Golden Eyes" of Hollywood post production and broadcast including NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, WB and Turner networks.

"We distribute content for 25 network feeds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Where up-conversion is involved, it is important to us that it results in the highest possible image quality. After comparing the up-conversion results of equipment from a number of manufacturers we selected the Teranex product," said Ron Tarasoff, vice president, broadcast technology and engineering, Turner Entertainment Networks.

Teranex's video processors are often referred to as the "dream system" by home theatre enthusiasts, who say, "If I could afford it, I would buy it." Now they can !

"With Realta's HQV technology, consumers for the first time will be able to afford Teranex's video processing excellence that the Hollywood community has enjoyed for years," says Dennis Crespo, VP of marketing, Silicon Optix. "As the Realta chip is integrated into home entertainment products the HQV logo will rapidly come to be synonymous with the very finest video display quality possible."

Overview of Realta HQV processing
* True professional quality de-interlacing using the full four-field processing for video and film sources.

* Multi-Direction Diagonal Filter (MDDF) using a true 10-bit diagonal interpolator to remove "jaggies" and/or stair-stepping artefacts without blurring the image.

* Noise adaptive and motion adaptive pixel-by-pixel 4D noise reduction reduces noise for video and film sources

*Detail Enhancement improves image detail on a pixel-by-pixel basis for SD that approaches HD quality.

* Automatic Film Cadence Processing provides industry-first support for "Vari-Speed cadences such as 3:2:3:2:2 as well as numerous others to ensure film and video sources will be seen in the original format without loss of resolution.

* Automatic Per Pixel Video/Film Detection makes pixel-level decisions for processing film pixels as film and video pixels as video to avoid processing artefacts that occur in sequences such as titles or credits over film backgrounds.

* True 10-bit Processing enables rendering of over 1 billion colours
