Silicon Image iScan Pro
List price (MSRP): $699.00 (each)

Introducing the multi-system iScan Pro, the flagship product in the iScan family of line-doublers/upconverters brought to you by Silicon Image. The iScan Pro offers the highest video quality in its class using the latest video processing technology. In addition to all the features of the popular, highly rated iScan Plus V2, the iScan Pro includes the following enhancements for even better performance and compatibility with more TVs.

Component video input allows the iScan Pro to accept the highest quality video signal from a DVD player. Keeping the video in component form provides the maximum picture and color resolution available from a DVD disc to the display.

Picture controls, including brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness have been added, allowing the user the option of adjusting the video output for optimal picture quality on their display.

With multiple video standards support, users all over the world can now enjoy the best picture quality at an affordable price because the iScan Pro is designed to accept NTSC, PAL and SECAM sources.

Consistent with the iScan family of products, the iScan Pro converts existing standard-definition video from DVD, Laserdisc, videotape, satellite and standard broadcast television to a near high-definition signal. The resulting picture is dramatically improved with twice the vertical resolution and no flicker.
