Lumagen is introducing three new products: Vision DVI ($999), Vision HDP
($1499), and VisionPro HDP ($2299). All have two HD analog and two HD DVI-D inputs. The Vision DVI can transcode, process, and scale HD sources. The Vision HDP and VisionPro HDP can transcode, deinterlace and scale HD up to 1080p output.
Here is a more detailed feature list:
Vision DVI ($999):
- Eight inputs: 2 Composite, 2 SVideo, 2 SD/ED/HD Component, and 2 DVI-D +HDCP
- The Component inputs can also be configured for RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB
- Option for two SDI inputs ($400)
- Output is DVI-D + HDCP (i.e. digital only) at up to 800p
- Programmable output resolution from 480p to 800p, plus 1080i
- Analog and digital inputs are full-featured (i.e. not just pass-through)
- HD Component inputs are transcoded to RGB
- Component and DVI inputs auto-switch between SD, ED, and HD source
- Two configuration memories per input
- Each input memory has independent parameters for 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i
- User adjustable image enhancement
- Source aspect ratio selectable as 4:3, letter-box, 16:9 and 1.85
- Adjustable non-linear stretch mode
- 2:2, 3:2, 3:3 pull-down for SD film sources
- HDMI compatible with appropriate adapter cable
- Zoom in any source up to 33% in either 15% or 5% steps
- RS232 control
- NTSC, PAL and SECAM auto-detection
- Programmable output aspect ratio from 1.33 to 2.35
- Optional rack mount ears ($50)
- Studio quality TV decoder with 10-bit A/Ds
- Configuration memories can be used for day/night settings
- All setup parameters are unique for each memory
- Input-cropping, black, contrast, color and hue
- Output resolution and timing are programmable
- Y/C-delay calibration
- Multipoint grayscale calibration
- Gamma calibration
- Genlock
- CUE and ICP filtering (filtrage de chroma, elimnation du chroma bug)
- Programmable input and output color-space (SD, HD)
- DVI input and output dynamic-range can be set to video or full
- Field upgradeable software
- Universal power supply
=================================================
Vision HDP has all the Vision DVI features plus:
- Output is DVI-I (analog and digital)
- Optional BNC analog output connectors ($100)
- HD deinterlacing at up to 1080p output
- Transcode analog RGB and DVI to analog HD-component
- Output resolution up to 1080p for analog and digital outputs
- Improved video processing quality verses Vision HDP
- 2:2, 3:2, 3:3 pull-down for SD and HD film sources
=================================================
VisionPro HDP has all the Vision HDP features plus:
- BNC connectors for all analog video in and out provide the ultimate
electrical and mechanical connection.
- Analog output on BNC connectors, plus DVI-D output.
- Ten inputs standard: Two Composite/SVideo (selectable), two
composite/SVideo/SD-Component (selectable), two SD/ED/HD component, two DVI + HDCP, and two SDI
- Professional grade case with machined black-anodized front-panel
- Rack-mount ears standard
- Front panel LCD display
- Front panel controls
- Cables: Two component RCA-to-BNC and two SVideo-to-BNC.
J'ai mis en gras ce qui me semblait particulièrement interessant.
A part le gros modèle qui par sa connectique semble plutot reservé aux pros, le rapport fonctionnalité/prix est hallucinant, recapitule en francais:
Vision DVI 999$:
- entrees 2 composites,2 S, 2 YUV SD/HD (configurable en RGsB,RGBs, RGBHV, 2 DVI/HDCP. Entree SDI en option.
- Sortie DVI HDCP (permet de fonctionner avec les projos ou plasmas qui recalcitrent

- Peut sortir du 48Hz, 72Hz (NTSC) et 75Hz (PAL) à parti de DVD.
- upconversion jusqu'à 800p (bizarre comme résolution) et 1080i
- Resolutions et fréquences configurables
- Calibration de la courbe de gris et du gamma
- suppression chroma bug
Le modèle au dessus apporte une sortie DVI-I pour ceux qui voudraient du VGA en sortie, du desentrelacement HD, upconversion 1080p.... A 1500$

Bref je ne vois pas ce que l'on peut demander de plus. j'avais tendance à penser qu'avec l'avènement des projos numériques les scalers allaient disparaitre, apparement il n'en n'est rien, le marché n'a jamais été aussi dynamique!!!
