DVDO iScan HD Now Shipping
Campbell, CA (ContentDesk) March 22, 2004 -- Anchor Bay Technologies, Inc. announced today that the company has begun first customer shipments of the new DVDO iScan? HD High Resolution Video Scaling Engine, incorporating ABT's new Precision Video Scaling? technology.The iScan HD is a video scaling processor and A/V switcher that produces display-optimized video at a wide range of output resolutions, aspect ratios, and refresh rates, independent of input format. The product accepts as input all standard NTSC and PAL video formats, as well as ATSC-standard DTV 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-definition video. This makes it suitable for use with all video products worldwide, including DVD players, VCRs, digital video recorders, laserdisc players, and other audio/video sources.Performing deinterlacing and precision resolution upconversion on 480i (or 576i) video signals, the iScan HD provides output video quality approaching High Definition (HD), from all Standard Definition sources. Progressive-scan 480p signals are also scaled to near-HD quality, and outputs spanning from 480p all the way to 1080p are supported.
Also supported are video output resolutions greater than 1080p, such as 1440 x 1152. High-definition signals are automatically passed through to the output using ABT's new Automatic Video Format Routing? architecture. This allows the use of Component video inputs on the product, for both SD and HD video sources.The design of the iScan HD offers maximum flexibility and adjustability, so that video sources are converted to the optimum resolution for the specific display device, including plasma display panels, DLP projectors, front and rear projection CRTs, LCD panels, D-ILA projectors, and other advanced high-resolution display technologies. This results in superior image quality and best-in-class front-of-screen performance.The iScan HD also incorporates a suite of sophisticated video processing and display adjustment features and technologies. These include precision programmable framerate conversion and timebase correction, video zoom, pan, and border controls, input and output aspect ratio control, automatic chroma upsampling error correction, and precision digital controls for brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, Y/C delay, and sharpness.
All settings are customizable per input, and stored in nonvolatile memory.In addition to delivering greatly enhanced picture quality, the iScan HD acts as a hub for all AV source devices. It accepts up to eight discrete video and four digital audio inputs, with two video outputs (analog and digital) and two digital audio outputs (optical and coaxial). This allows seamless connection of DVD players, satellite receivers, DTV receivers, digital video recorders, video game consoles, VCRs, laserdisc players, and PC video directly to the iScan HD, while also handling switching and delay synchronization of digital audio streams. This makes the iScan HD suitable for use in both home theater and professional AV installations, such as corporate boardrooms, churches, and other large-venue or head-end applications.The iScan HD features ABT's new Precision Video Scaling technology, combined with many other new audio/video technologies including Automatic Chroma Upsampling Error Correction (AutoCUE-C ) and Precision AV Lipsync? automatic digital audio delay.About DVDODVDO, an Anchor Bay Technologies brand, is an award-winning leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of semiconductor and system-level solutions for next generation HDTV and digital audio/video products.

7 Ways to Increase Web Site Visitors and Boost Sales
Have you spent a lot of money on advertising with the expectation that you would get many sales from the 1000s of web site visitors that read your ad? Have you poured money into driving traffic to your web site, only to have no one buying your product? Maybe you have seen the ads, "Get 10,000 visitors to your site, for only $20" . Wow, you think, that's a great bargain, I'll go for it. The result ? 10 people visiting your site and no one buying. What's the problem? You have not effectively targeted your customers.

Should you Purchase a Turnkey Site or Build Your Own?
You see them all the time, pre-packaged websitesselling everything from acorns to zinc. Most of themhave a nice professional look about them, with goodpictures and graphics. Of course, the sales literaturewith the offer telling you how you're going to make agazillion dollars!Most of them are one page mini-sites devoted only to selling their particular product and that's wherethe problems begin; since it's only a sales "landingpage," it will not be enough to sustain an ongoingrelationship with your visitors and customers, the real bread and butter of any business!The reason they aren't effective as stand-alonewebsites is that many customers that visit a sitedon't purchase the first time.
