To extend its global launch, Calibre has signed a global distribution agreement with Imagine Communications.
Calibre's Fovea has been updated to the new Fovea-F1 model with an all-new web browser interface including real-time status reporting. A new compact, functional and versatile design incorporates easy-to-navigate quick access to key controls.
The existing ability to select different MEMC levels has been greatly enhanced with MEMC presets for virtually all key types of content - a valuable tool for a broadcaster or post-house for frame rate conversion. Additionally, it is now possible to seamlessly change between MEMC content type presets live during transmission and conversion. For example, if the correct pre-set hasn't been preselected, this can be changed without causing glitches in the programme output.
Tim Brooksbank, chairman and CEO at Calibre commented, "We know Fovea is an outstanding product with unquestionable credentials. For example, most of Europe and the Middle East recently viewed the World Cup Football games through frame rate converted by Fovea. We're really pleased to be able to work with such a broadcast equipment powerhouse as Imagine Communications, thus making Fovea much more accessible globally to broadcasters and system integrators."
Randy Conrod, product manager - digital products at Imagine Communications explained,"Fovea complements our industry-leading signal processing offering. Having evaluated Calibre's Fovea solution and seen its success at key world events, we are very pleased to work together to deliver a competitive and effective MEMC frame rate conversion solution to our customers."
