History

Anchor Bay Technologies was started by the former founding team of DVDO Inc., the original creators of the first DVDO® iScan™ Plus Progressive Scan Display Interface, which revolutionized the home theater video line doubler market. When Silicon Image, Inc. acquired DVDO in 2000, the brand continued to grow, with the help of the original team. Without exception, DVDO iScan products have met with universal critical acclaim from reviewers and customers alike.

In April 2003, Anchor Bay Technologies reacquired the DVDO brand and product line from Silicon Image, and continues to develop innovative new systems technologies and products for today's digital media. In addition, Anchor Bay has harnessed those technologies into affordable semiconductors marketed under the "Powered by Anchor Bay" brand. With recent design wins from companies such as Denon and Marantz, Anchor Bay is now going through tremendous growth as its reputation for delivering exceptional video quality in affordable packages continues to take the digital entertainment market by storm.
