The AVC2510 dual-channel adaptive video converter accepts PC graphics and standard- and high-definition digital video inputs and processes them to produce high quality output in any desired standard video format up to 1080p resolution with a 60 Hz frame rate. The converter contains one full quality 3D video pipeline and one secondary pipeline that perform scaling to support picture-in-picture and thumbnail functions. Extensive noise reduction functions, adaptive contrast enhancement, edge enhancement and intelligent color remapping enables optimum image rendering. TwinD architecture provides simultaneous output of a primary highor standard-definition data stream and a secondary standard-definition version of the same data stream, allowing easy implementation of a monitoring or time-shifting function.
