VMC Holdings Group Introduces the VAS UBox HDTV Upconverter

NAB 2000, Las Vegas, Nevada April 10, 2003– VMC Holdings Group Corp. introduces the UBox HDTV Upconverter. The UBox is a high quality HDTV upconverter without the price premium typically associated with HDTV equipment. It features complete aspect ratio controls and image enhancement filters. The UBox converts serial digital video (525/625) to digital television 480p, 720p, and 1080i standards.

The UBox’s high image quality is achieved via proprietary conversion technology that evaluates the video source characteristics and selects the appropriate filter and conversion algorithms. In addition, each major signal processing function is performed by separate video modules. This allows for easy upgrades to incorporate any future HDTV standards.

The UBox is available with a large color touch screen display. The display provides easy access to all the UBox’s advanced functions such as the pan, scan and zoom controls and the UBox’s film mode for enhanced quality upconversion of film sourced video. The UBox is part of the VASgroup HDTV product line that includes the XBox modular video converter and HDTV glue products such as tri-level sync generators, HD transcoders, and HD safe area generators.
