60 frames/sec real-time processing for high resolution video
compensation
Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) today announced the development of
video processing technology enhancing the visibility of high resolution at a
rate of 60 frames per second. Enhanced visibility video display was achieved by
analyzing the visual characteristics of the video signals to be displayed,
extracting key components contributing to visibility, and enhancing those
components. As a result, good visibility of projector displayed video can be
achieved without increasing the brightness of the projector light source. To
enable this technology to be embedded into various products, the processing
algorithm for the hardware structure was optimized, achieving real-time
processing of high-resolution video in compact hardware. The technology was
first developed for the projector but as it can also enhance visibility in
surveillance monitors and vehicular displays, it is expected to find a wide
range of application.
