Thinklogical Launches New Line of HD Video Solutions for End-to-End Video Processing


    Thinklogical, a leading provider of fiber optic KVM switching and

    extension solutions, has expanded its product portfolio with new

    high-definition video solutions specifically designed for the broadcast

    and post-production environments. The ImageEvolution product line

    includes a powerful video processing unit, designed for image correction

    and scaling, as well as video conversion and fiber video extension. In

    addition, the line currently features a new HDMI Repeater for

    distribution of one of two HDMI/DVI video sources to four displays

    (simultaneously). These products made their premier at this years NAB

    2008 trade show in Las Vegas.
    The first ImageEvolution product is a powerful video processor for

    advanced image correction and scaling, while at the same time functions

    as a video converter which supports HDMI, SDI, and HD-SDI. For image

    correction Thinklogical has harnessed the cutting edge technology of

    Gennum, using the award winning VXPTM image

    processor. This supplies a core platform for exceptional and enhanced

    image processing and quality. As a result, the ImageEvolution provides

    two flexible 30-bit digital video input ports supporting RGB, YCbCr

    4:4:4: and YCbCr 4:2:2 interlaced and/or progressive sources up to a

    maximum pixel rate of 165MHz per port.
    Other key ImageEvolution processor features are mosquito noise reduction

    (MNR) and block artifact reduction (BAR) for minimizing artifacts

    introduced by compression systems, such as MPEG. Flexible signal or dual

    pixel digital video output at 8/10-bit RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2

    progressive up to a maximum pixel rate of 165MHz is also achievable.
    "Indeed, the ImageEvolution represents a

    significant achievement in high-performance, high- definition video

    processing. It really takes the video processor to a whole new level

    with the introduction of conversion and extension, which are important

    issues in the broadcast and post-production industries," Comments Kevin

    Keefe, Director of Engineering. "This product

    is very unique and we anticipate this technology will meet the demands

    of the market and enable broadcast and post-production professionals to

    fully harness high-definition video."
    The ImageEvolution represents great strides in video technology with

    enhanced connectivity flexibility, with multi-mode fiber ports for video

    extension up to 1000 meters (3280 feet). This provides key integration

    with Thinklogical´s line of fiber optic video

    extenders and switches, making the ImageEvolution a highly effective and

    scalable asset management system. In addition, it is capable of

    delivering true 1080i/p, without any frame or bit dropping and no

    degradation in video performance.
    In addition to the video processor the ImageEvolution line also features

    an HDMI Repeater. This sends one of two video sources (HDMI or DVI) to

    four digital display devices (LCD monitors, projectors and plasmas)

    simultaneously, with superb identical reproduction and without any

    signal loss. The ImageEvolution HDMI repeater supports high-definition

    protocols to insure maximum compatibility and signal encoding in order

    to maintain the highest HDMI single link video resolution and digital

    audio signal.
    The new ImageEvolution product line will be available for shipping July

    15th, 2008. Demonstrations of the

    ImageEvolution products will take place at the IBC tradeshow, at the RAI

    Convention Centre (Hall 12P, Stand # A29) in Amsterdam, September

    12-16th 2008.
