Calibre specialises in high performance LCD
display solutions with flexible signal capability,
excellent motion reproduction and accurate, artifact
free image re-sizing.
PremierView4 extends the capabilities and
compatibility of the well established PremierView
range, adding automatic image optimisation for
computer RGB signals, even further improved
scaling and a new compact board footprint as well
as compatibility with many previously unsupported
image sources and panels.
It is ideally suited to premium display applications where image quality is of paramount importance. PremierView4 technology is presently used World-wide by companies large and small in applications as diverse as medical, imaging, broadcast, homeland security, military, aerospace, transport, industrial and specialist OEM use including the provision of custom displays for use with legacy industrial and military computing platforms.
PremierView4 has many new optional features including image reversal left/right & up/down, SDI digital component video input,
DVI digital RGB input, analogue component video RGB or YUV input, real-time field-locked processing for best motion
performance or frame rate conversion for compatibility with fixed frequency panels and aspect ratio conversion for widescreen
LCD panels.
PremierView4 is one of the most flexible LCD systems on the market able to accept a wide range of input resolutions.
PremierView4 features autoscanning real-time software algorithms to allow it to be adjusted to suit most non-standard
resolutions and signal timings within its resolution, line and field rate ranges. Compatibility with non-standard signal timings and
custom resolutions can also be provided as a customer specific option.
PremierView4 gives excellent colour depth and accurate
grey-scale reproduction, with no field merging, pixel or line dropping to ensure accurate motion reproduction and best in class
clean image scaling. Most panels are driven field locked to the input signal with dynamic timing control for best possible motion
performance. When frame rate conversion required to drive fixed-frequency panels video images are double buffered to
eliminate motion tear.
Through the standard VGA connector, composite sync and sync on green from high resolution sources such as workstations are
also supported. A DVI digital graphics input is available as an optional extra. A special slow-scan version of PremierView4 is
available for compatibility with signals from legacy industrial, military and control systems. Compatibility includes interlaced
sources, 15KHz RGB sources and RGB signals with sync serrations, equalisation pulses and missing line syncs during field
sync, as is typical of many old graphics generators.
A professional grade video decoder is available as an option which gives outstanding composite and YC video performance
through the use of a 4-line adaptive comb filter and vertical noise reduction algorithm. This option also adds a selectable
RGB/YUV component video input. SDI serial digital video with PAL or NTSC timings and an automatically enabled
monochrome mode for use with hi-res monochrome and thermal imaging cameras. A lower cost standard grade video
decoder is also available for less demanding applications.
High performance scaling algorithms work without compromising image quality. PremierView4 is compatible with Composite
and Y/C (SVHS, S-video) inputs with automatic detection of PAL, NTSC & SECAM video, and/or most computer RGB signals
from 640x350 up to 1600x1200. Very flexible wide-ranging picture controls are provided via an on-screen menu. These controls
include picture size/position controls as well as contrast, brightness, and colour/hue for video.
