The Realta HQV video engine provides true 10-bit video processing, full four-field motion adaptive video deinterlacing for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, temporal-recursive noise reduction, automatic multi-cadence detection, and pixel-based detail enhancement.
It also uses the same video-processing power–one trillion operations per second–as the $60k Teranex Xantus platform, which is widely used in Hollywood’s postproduction and television broadcast markets. In addition to its flagship video processing, Realta delivers advanced image scaling by using the world’s first 1024-tap adaptive scaler. HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing is a no-compromise video-processing solution designed for the most demanding digital cinema applications.
