SILICON OPTIX WINS EMMY FOR ITS INNOVATIVE
TERANEX VIDEO COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
Orlando, Florida. (August 23rd, 2007) – Teranex, a division of Silicon Optix and leader in high performance
video processing solutions for the broadcast and post-production industries announced today that the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) has awarded a Primetime Emmy(R) Award for Outstanding Achievement in
Engineering Excellence to Teranex for its Video Computer Platform with HQV video processing technology.
“The Teranex Video Computer was recognized for its innovative design which has changed the paradigm for
professional video processing by offering a flexible software-based platform delivering the highest image quality in
a variety of video processing applications. This award is a huge validation for our technology and platform, and it’s
an honor to have the Academy recognize our efforts,” said Jed Deame, Co-Founder and General Manager of
Teranex.
In contrast to the typical “box-per-function” approach common in the industry, the Teranex Video
Computer can switch between three major applications, imageConvert, imageRestore, and imageEnhance at the
touch of a button on its built-in touch-screen. This flexibility adds significant value to post production houses that
require fast ROI on capital investments. The Teranex Video Computer is a key component in post production
facilities around the world.
In addition to flexibility, the Teranex Video Computer with HQV can convert images between SD and HD
with surprisingly lifelike results. HQV’s PixelMotion™ deinterlacing delivers the sharpest, most detailed HD images
possible by employing per-pixel motion-adaptive algorithms and a sophisticated multidirectional diagonal filter
assuring video free from jagged edges. The powerful HQV processing engine provides per-pixel motion-adaptive
noise reduction, detail enhancement, and advanced scaling, delivering premium-quality upconversion of SD
material. This flexible, high quality platform is an important part of any HD broadcasting infrastructure, and is in
use by HD broadcasting networks around the globe.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presents Emmys to individuals, companies, or organizations in
recognition of their developments in engineering that are either so extensive an improvement on existing methods
or so innovative in nature that they materially affect the transmission, recording, or reception of television.
