'The ABT1010 chips were easy to install and configure allowing us to focus on getting the DV137 to market on time', said Charlie Brennan, CEO of Arcam.
Arcam's new DV137 is the company's first ever universal DVD player.
Anchor Bay's ABT1010 engine allows the DV137 to supply high resolution pictures direct to the display using its HDMI output, bypassing the low cost scaling chips inside most of today's digital video displays.
'We are honoured to have Arcam recognise our superior video scaling technology over other available solutions'.
'Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling technology is the reference standard for upconverting standard definition video from DVD players to higher definition formats including 1080p, and is a perfect complement to the already outstanding audio/video quality available on the DV137', said Anchor Bay Technologies' Vice President of Technology, CH Chee.
Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling is but one of the video processing solutions marketed under the VRS umbrella.
Other VRS brand technologies include Anchor Bay's RightRate, AutoCUE-C, Precision AV LipSync and the new Precision Deinterlacing technology.
Manufacturing partners can choose to be powered by ABT by incorporating Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling, or display the powerful VRS brand from Anchor Bay by using all video processing solutions under the VRS-brand umbrella.
