Quasar Ph.C HDTV Upconverter Delivers Twice the Resolution

Visitors to the Snell & Wilcox exhibit at IBC2006 will have an opportunity to see Quasar Ph.C, the world’s finest-ever HDTV upconverter and the first to integrate motion estimation technology.

Quasar Ph.C utilizes motion estimation techniques based on the company’s flagship Ph.C technology to produce dazzlingly clear and sharp high-definition outputs from a variety of standard-definition inputs.

Developed from the ground up to deliver the ultimate conversion to high-definition formats, Quasar Ph.C combines no less than three industry-leading, Emmy. Award-winning Snell & Wilcox technologies in a single compact 1-RU package. These include Ph.C motion estimation, DEFT 3:2 cadence correction, and Prefix compression pre-processing, in addition to FormatFusion HDTV conversion. This level of technology has never before been available at such an affordable price and in such a compact form factor. The resulting images are truly stunning.
