News announcement from Intel Developer Forum, Palm Springs, CA.
THE "DIGITAL REVOLUTION" CONTINUES AS GENESIS SHOWS FULL-MOTION VIDEO ON FLAT PANELS AND PROGRESSIVE-SCAN TVS AT THE INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM
High-Resolution PC Graphics Via A Digital Interface Is Also Demonstrated
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, Palm Springs, Calif. (Feb. 15, 2000) - Genesis Microchip (Nasdaq: GNSS) is today demonstrating leading-edge digital interface applications at the Intel Developer Forum.
The company is using the conference as a forum to exhibit consumer-oriented, full-motion video on a progressive-scan TV monitor, as well as high-bandwidth, high-resolution PC graphics on a flat-panel display. Both demos utilize Genesis Microchip's innovative digital video and graphics technologies via a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connector.
"We're delighted Genesis is using the conference to demonstrate the power and flexibility of their image-processing chips," said Mark Waring, DVI Strategic Initiative Manager at Intel. "Genesis technology will help to accelerate the adoption of DVI in the consumer space."
Both exhibition systems rely on the gmZRX1 integrated circuit. The DVI-compliant gmZRX1 boasts an integrated (and highly robust) high-speed TMDS receiver, superior image-scaling processing, integrated on-screen display and more. The progressive-scan television demonstration uses Genesis Microchip's gmD2000 video decoder chip and the gmVLX1A-X de-interlacing/scaling chip (for artifact-free line-doubling, image sharpening and other advanced features).
The Digital Visual Interface specification was established by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) - led by Intel - to define a standard digital video interface.
Genesis Microchip Inc. (Nasdaq: GNSS) - an ISO9001-registered company - is a leading supplier of analog, digital and dual analog-digital interface solutions for the LCD monitor markets.
