Thanks Rande,
I would be happy to post this link to the PXLW home page.

In addition I'm going to do a small cut and paste below. I think this is tremendous technology, but I'm not a real tech adept person.

INTELLIGENT IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
Our technology supports multi-standard analog and digital video, including digital television or DTV, HDTV, National Television Standards Committee, or NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Our intelligent image processing solution simplifies the use and development of display devices. Features of our technology include the following:
IMAGE SCALING AND SHAPING Our image processing technology incorporates a proprietary programmable two-dimensional image scaler capable of resizing images to fit a wide variety of aspect ratios, the ratio of width to height of display screens, and resolutions. With our scaler, images can be adapted to aspect ratios ranging from traditional 4:3 aspect ratios of conventional computer monitors and televisions to the 16:9 format used in wide screen HDTVs. In addition, content designed for a certain resolution can be intelligently stretched or reduced in real time to fit a new resolution for a specific display without degrading the image. For example low-resolution images are processed by intelligently adding information, so that when the new image is displayed, it looks smooth without any jagged image areas. High-resolution content can be displayed on lower resolution displays by intelligently removing information without degrading image quality.
Our technology allows the shape of an image to be changed in multiple dimensions. This is useful in compensating for optical distortions in products such as front projection systems and rear projection televisions. For example, standard resolution videotapes designed for conventional television display can be resized and formatted for display on a high-resolution wide-screen flat panel television without degrading the image. This capability is increasingly important as HDTV becomes more prevalent. HDTV content can be delivered in as many as 18 different combinations of resolutions and aspect ratios. Our technology is also useful in compensating for optical distortions introduced by the lenses used in products such as front projection systems and rear projection TVs.

This is a fairly recent IPO
It is already profitable!
The small float is 80% institutionally owned
I invite comments from any of the thread members, if you have ten minutes, go to the link and read the whole thing. I am anxious to hear the views of the tech heads out there.
Thanks, kurt |
