Hauppauge, NY, June 25, 2005: Electrograph Systems Inc. has been selected by Anchor Bay Technologies as U.S. distributor of the DVDO® product line. The proprietary DVDO iScan™ progressive scan display processors set a new standard in the home theater video processor market by providing one device to upconvert, cross-convert or downconvert video sources in home theatre systems, optimizing picture quality regardless of the source. DVDO's iScan™ HD high resolution video scaling engine was chosen as Electronic House Product of the Year in 2004, and the HD+ has most recently been named "Video Scaler of Year", for 2005 by Home Cinema Choice.
"We're always looking to bring new award-winning technology to our customers, and being the largest distributor for plasma displays in North America, it only made sense to partner with the #1 video processor manufacturer, said Sam Taylor, President of Electrograph Systems Inc.. "DVDO products allow our customers to set the output resolutions to match the native resolution of their fixed pixel display so as to achieve 1:1 pixel mapping providing the best possible image for that display. They help custom installers setup, and users control all aspects of the video to ensure optimal aspect ratio, picture control, over/underscan, color, and quality in home theater systems" "Electrograph Systems Inc. is widely regarded as one of the finest technology distributors for video display products, and we are honored to be partnering with them on distribution of our award-winning DVDO product line," said Gary M. Chappell DVDO's Senior Director of Sales and Marketing.
DVDO processors, switchers and hubs provide a wide range of output resolutions, aspect ratios, and refresh rates, independent of input devices. The products accept all standard NTSC and PAL video formats, ATSC-standard DTV 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-definition video. This makes them suitable to use with all video products worldwide, including DVD players, VCRs, digital video recorders, laserdisc players, DLP and LCD projectors, satellite TV receivers, and personal video recorders such as TIVO and ReplayTV.
"Partnering with Electrograph Systems Inc. allows us to focus more of our energies into new product development and brand marketing," Chappell said. "We can leverage the channel relationships and efficiencies of product delivery, pre-sales inquiry handling, and reseller development that have become a hallmark for Electrograph Systems Inc.."
