MAXX Products Introduces High Performance TruVision Video Processor for Home Theater Market

TruVision Video Processor Leads New Line of TruVision Home Theater Products With LCDs and High Definition Plasma TVs to Follow

MAXX continues to enhance the home theater experience with the introduction of its TruVision digital video processor -- representing the first product in a new line of high performance home theater solutions.

MAXX TruVision combines state-of-the art digital video transmission, processing, scaling and format conversion, delivering unprecedented movie theater-quality at an attractive, price. The TruVision is the only video processor currently on the market to feature SDI, DVI, and RGBS inputs and also includes user-customizable output resolutions and DCDi(TM).

"Our new line of TruVision products fuse style, performance and scalability for audio/video enthusiasts to design their ideal home theater without overpaying," said Scot Kenney, President of MAXX Products, Inc. "The TruVision processor enhances the source analog or digital signal to produce crystal clear, life-like video at any scale for the most incredible viewing experience possible."

The MAXX TruVision includes DCDi, which analyzes video material at single pixel granularity to detect the presence or absence of angled lines and edges. It produces a smooth and natural looking image without visible artifacts or "jaggies." DCDi eliminates jagged edges normally seen on angled lines in motion video, creating smooth and natural-looking images.

MAXX TruVision includes three SDI inputs as standard which allow zero picture quality loss as the video is transported from SDI-equipped DVD players/set-top-boxes to the video scaler/processor. SDI signals can be transmitted over long distances without loss of quality, allowing increased installation flexibility. The processor also included DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. When combined with the SDI input, a full-digital signal path from the video source to the digital display devices can be displayed without any signal degradation caused by unnecessary digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion.

TruVision features Truelife(TM) enhancement uses non-linear algorithms to enhance the small details and colors in images, and improve depth perception by sharpening large edges without introducing visual artifacts or distortion. The overall result is a richer, more pleasing, high definition-like picture.

The MAXX TruVision supports virtually any video image aspect ratio and display devices aspect ratio including, but not limited to, video images ranging from 4:3, 16:9, 16:9 letter box, to 2.35:1 anamorphic; and display device aspect ratio from 4:3, 16:10, 16:9, to 2.35:1. Featuring CrystalWall(TM) technology, TruVision's large zoom focus can enlarge the image up to 10 times the screen height.
