Multiformat player adopts video scaling technology
The ABT1018 video scaling ASIC has been used by Teac Esoteric Company in the new P-03 Universal Super Audio CD/CD/DVD player.
Anchor Bay's ABT1018 video scaling ASIC has been used by Teac Esoteric Company in the new P-03 Universal Super Audio CD/CD/DVD player. The ABT1018 features select Video Reference Series (VRS) branded technologies including Precision Video Scaling, RightRate frame rate conversion and aspect ratio control. The P-03 Universal represents the latest 'design-win' for Anchor Bay as more manufacturers are realising greater video performance with their flexible and easy-to-implement video processing ASICs.
The ABT1018 is Anchor Bay's second generation video scaling ASIC targeted at DVD player/recorder, HDTV set-top box and A/V receiver applications requiring up-conversion from standard and high definition formats all the way up to 1080p.
With the ABT1018, the P-03 Universal is able to supply high resolution images direct to the display using its HDMI output, completely bypassing the display's internal processing chip.
The ABT1018 features a proprietary 10bit Precision Video Scaling engine that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to achieve outstanding picture quality for today's high resolution video displays.
'Anchor Bay's ABT1018 was a sensible choice for Teac Esoteric and the P-03 Universal because of the reference quality scaling it delivers at such a remarkable value'.
'The chip is easy to install, and when teamed with our boards, provides the dynamic scaling performance we expect'.
'Furthermore, Anchor Bay always provides superior technical support, a factor that should not be overlooked', said Hiroyuki Hoshino R and D Manager Teac Esoteric Company.
The P-03 Universal shares many of the same design attributes as the original SA-CD/CD player P-03, featuring the heavy duty VRDS-NEO mechanism which provides a rigid and vibration-free, disc clamping system.
The P-03 Universal integrates proven, high quality video processing technologies enhanced by Esoteric.
Unlike other players using 10 bit or 12 bit video processing, the P-03 Universal is equipped with the latest 14bit/216MHz video D/A convertor chip as well as the ABT1018 video scaling chip from Anchor Bay.
The D/A convertor chip offers the finest analogue output available for resolutions up to 480p/576p, while an HDMI output offers an artifact-free digital connection for resolutions up to and including 1080p.
'TEAC has a well-earned reputation of excellence in the industry and it is an honour to have our Precision Scaling technology and ABT1018 chip chosen for the P-03 Universal'.
