Title: Qdeo™ award-winning video processing suite for the present and future
Abstract: The last several years have seen an explosion of new types of video content ranging from iTunes and YouTube all the way up to Full-HD and now even 4Kx2K.. Handling the unique challenges of this extraordinarily wide set of content requires a new class of highly adaptive video processing algorithms that are based on QuietVideoTM principles. This seminar will discuss and demonstrate core elements of the award-winning Qdeo technology that has been used in products as diverse as an HD iPod dock, AVReceiver, DVD Recorder, Blu-ray player, Blu-ray recorder, and LCD-TV.
