ABT1018
![]()
The ABT1018 is Anchor Bay Technologies' second generation video scaling chip that is targeted at Blu-Ray & HD-DVD player/recorder, HDTV set-top box, and AV receiver applications requiring up-conversion from 480p, 576p,720p, 1080i to high-definition formats including 1080p. The ABT1018 features Anchor Bay's proprietary 10-bit Precision Video Scaling™ engine that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to achieve an outstanding picture quality for today's high resolution video displays.
