Zoran DVD Upscaler Chip


Zoran DVD Upscaler Chip 07/23/2004 02:53 PM

DVDs that contain standard-definition video can soon look a little bit nicer on HDTVs thanks to a chip from Zoran that was announced today but has been in the hands of OEMs since earlier this year.

The chip takes standard-def video and does some filtering on it, and the result is high-def, perhaps a tad fuzzy, video. Zoran also has a chip that converts standard video into progressive scan, and they plan to integrate the two together sometime. Though it seems that there's nothing preventing DVD player manufacturers from using both the chips in concert.
