Adds Color Management System to iScan Duo High-Performance
Video Processor

Anchor Bay, provider of video
processing systems and video processing semiconductors, announced
the introduction of a new Color Management System (CMS) for
the DVDO iScan Duo. CMS adds precision color adjustment to
DVDO’s latest high-performance video processor and A/V
hub, which offers a wide range of image and system controls
and the full complement of Anchor Bay Video Reference Series
(VRS) technologies.
Current iScan Duo owners will be able to download new firmware,
which is available now, at no charge. The suggested retail
price of the processor remains unchanged at $1,299.
The iScan Duo becomes DVDO’s first video processor to
feature an extensive Color Management System. Video calibrators
will be able to perform color calibration of displays through
the controls of the processor, free of any limitations or
complications involved with performing calibration by using
the display’s controls.
In addition to facilitating the calibration process, the CMS
allows integrators to produce a much higher degree of color
accuracy with high-performance displays than would otherwise
be possible.
The iScan Duo’s CMS allows for setting accurate color
output through precise adjustment of color primaries and white
point using the Color Gamut and Chromaticity control. The
display’s grayscale levels can be precisely set over
the full signal range using a new 11-point Grayscale control.
The iScan Duo automatically generates the necessary test pattern
for each control to greatly simplify the calibration process.
“Our new Color Management System enables integrators
and calibrators to calibrate color to an extraordinarily high
degree of precision with today’s best displays without
having to rely on the display’s controls,” said
Doug Fealtman, CEO of Anchor Bay. “Given the iScan Duo’s
affordable price, integrators now have an economical tool
that enhances their ability to quickly provide clients with
superior display results.”
Current iScan Duo owners may upgrade their units by downloading
the latest firmware from the DVDO website. Once the firmware
file is on a PC or Mac computer, it can be uploaded to the
processor with drag and drop simplicity through a USB to mini-USB
cable. The firmware and instructions can be found at: iScan
Duo Software
Designed with the custom installer in mind, the iScan Duo
provides seamless integration into even the most sophisticated
home theater environment, with 8 HDMI 1.3 inputs and three
HDMI 1.3 outputs. Two of the HDMI outputs enable the use of
two Deep Color displays, and the third sends an HDMI 1.3 compatible
audio only signal to a separate audio processor or receiver.
All video sources, regardless of resolution, can be scaled
up to 1080p. Even higher resolutions, such as WUXGA (1920x1200),
are supported as well.
In addition to the new Color Management System, the iScan
Duo’s VRS technologies include: Precision Deinterlacing;
Progressive Re-Processing (PReP); Precision Video Scaling
II; Mosquito Noise Reduction; Fine Detail Enhancement; Edge
Enhancement; Progressive Cadence Detection; Rightrate Framerate
Conversion; Precision A/V Lipsync; AutoVFR; and Auto CUE-C.
