The burgeoning LCD TV market segment is projected to grow at a significant 67% CAGR for the next several years according to DisplaySearch's LCD TV shipment forecast. DPTV(TM) family video processors have garnered many industry acclaimed LCD TV design wins from top-tier television manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung. The current generation chip, DPTV(TM)3DPRO, with its built-in 3D comb NTSC/PAL/SECAM video decoder and advanced signal processing capabilities has established video performance standards for the LCD TV industry. Now with the introduction of the next generation DPTV(TM) video processor, Trident intends to further widen the video performance gap between itself and all the other competitors.

This new DPTV(TM) video processor's video image quality is a quantum jump over other competitors' solutions. It contains many advanced features to achieve cinema-perfect video images. In addition, the new video processor has built-in demo modes that showcases its advanced video features in a split screen display mode, allowing viewers to compare the original video image side-by-side with the enhanced video images. Some advanced feature highlights are vertical and horizontal sharpness control, black and white extension, overdrive function, media noise reduction, and inverse color space conversion (ICSC) to convert all RGB inputs into an enhanced YUV space.
