Runco's New High-Resolution Projector Incorporates Genesis Video Processing for Superb Large-Screen Images DTV-943 Projector First To Publicly Announce Using gmVLX1A-X TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1999--Genesis Microchip (Nasdaq:GNSS - news) announced today Runco International has upgraded a popular CRT projector to incorporate Genesis's new gmVLX1A-X video de-interlacing and scaling chip. Runco's DTV-943 sets a new standard of picture quality for seven-inch CRT projectors. Based on the DTV-863 design, the new projector features advanced signal processing (2.5 times the normal NTSC scan rate of 15.7 kHz) and ``EYE-Q' convergence adjustment -- for quick and easy setup. The product was launched this week at the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) show in Indianapolis. The DTV-943 employs Genesis Microchip's gmVLX1A-X chip, which offers artifact-free de-interlacing and superb scaling for large display resolutions. Another key gmVLX1A-X feature is its Advanced Film Mode (AFM), which processes a video film source using a method called ``inverse 3:2 pulldown,' to produce a high-quality de-interlaced image. ``The Genesis gmVLX1A-X video processor provides the industry's best and most cost- effective video de-interlacing and scaling solution,' said Sam Runco, President of Runco International. ``Thanks to the gmVLX1A-X, the DTV-943 is truly a world-class video projector.' The Genesis chip is also used by Panasonic in its new DVD-H1000 DVD player. That product also debuts at CEDIA. The CEDIA Expo '99 show runs September 22-26 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Further information can be found at: cedia.org.
