The HQView520 switches, scales, scan-converts and edge-blends multiple images - also performs warp mapping so that those images can be projected onto curved screens.
The new HQView520 will also perform sub-pixel precise image alignment for stacked pairs of projectors used for 3D applications.
Like the other products in the HQView500 series, the HQView520 has a 3G-SDI input and output capability, as well as backwards compatibility with HD-SDI and SD-SDI formats.
The processor will accept a wide range of HD, SD and computer inputs including DVI, HDMI, YPbPr/RGBS, VGA/RGBHV, S-Video, and Composite PAL, NTSC, and SECAM.
Tim Brooksbank, chairman, Calibre UK, says, "Curved-screen and 3D projection is now entering the mainstream and our new HQView520 has been designed to address these developments by giving the professional AV community an 'all-in-one' solution to their switching, scaling, edge blending, and warp-mapping needs - all without sacrificing the very high image quality for which Calibre UK products are rightly renowned."
