2.1General Description
The NEC TheaterSync (see Figure 1) is a high performance video signal processor intended as a companion for plasma and projector displays. TheaterSync brings the power of Silicon Optix HQVTM (“Hollywood Quality Video”TM) technology to viewers of plasma and projector displays. Initially conceived in the military research labs of Lockheed Martin and then refined and commercialized by Teranex and Silicon Optix, HQV video processing has been the technology of choice of film and video professionals in broadcast and studio environments for years. A breakthrough in cost reduction and packaging now enables this revolutionary technology - previously found only in Professional Post Production, Film Editing and Broadcast Studios – to be delivered to your home or business viewing environment.

As a video signal processor, TheaterSync receives the video signals generated by a wide variety of consumer electronic and professional devices, switches between them, and applies HQV signal processing to the selected signal (see Figure 2). The processed signal is then scaled to the appropriate resolution and aspect ratio of the plasma panel, projector, or other display device. HQV signal processing includes the following powerful features:
•
•Temporal Recursive Noise Reduction
•Codec Noise Reduction (includes mosquito noise reduction and block artifact removal)
•Detail Enhancement
•
•AnyPlaceTM technology for extreme
•
•Color Space Conversion and Color Temperature Adjustment
