Vantage-HD - Home Theater System
So many home theater viewers find that their new projector, plasma or LCD doesn’t provide the expected increase in image quality and may even appear more noisy or less clear than their old SD system or CRT set.
Few people realize when they purchase their first hi-definition TV set that the majority of TV programming is still delivered as standard definition. Even true HDTV transmissions, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD sources are often still interlaced or have significant noise, or may contain artifacts due to the original recording medium.
To make matters worse, in order to fill a high resolution HDTV screen, the SD image has to be enlarged but then all the flaws in the original image are enlarged too.
The video processing built into most home theater displays and progressive-scan DVD players has limited processing ability and runs basic algorithms.
Vantage-HD gets to the very heart of this problem by a combination of expert video engineering design from Calibre together with the awesome power of its 1-Teraflop DSP processor - the Silicon Optix Realta HQV.
The perfect image makeover for your home theater: Vantage-HD is a state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading HD & SD per-pixel multiple low-angle aperture-adjusted motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down correction for 3:2, 2:2 and non-standard and broken cadences, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
The heart of your home theater system: Vantage-HD features studio-grade image processing algorithms from Teranex for the very best scaling, film and video noise reduction, MPEG artifact reduction and automatic audio time-line correction to maintain lip-sync
No separate switcher needed: Vantage-HD is a very flexible video and audio router with multiple HDMI and analog input channels, digital, analog and optical audio support and optional HD-SDI compatibility.
So much more than just a scaler: Vantage-HD has special algorithms for plasma image enhancements, significantly reducing plasma noise and improving grayscale reproduction. Image quality on large-screen LCDs are also much improved by Vantage-HD. For projectors, Vantage-HD features the sharpest most flexible keystone correction on the market and there is also an image warping option available for complex geometric correction.
Affordable perfection: With an MSRP of $3,299 within the USA, for the Vantage-HD2, Calibre brings an outstanding level of image processing technology within the reach of all home theater users.
Please note: Calibre sells Vantage-HD only through authorised distributors except in countries where there is no official distributor or dealer.

MSRP of USD $3299 applies in the USA only, pricing may vary in other countries and is decided by the distributor for that country, not Calibre. E&OE.
