October 28, 2003 16:06:00 (ET) SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct 28, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Genesis Microchip Inc. (GNSS, Trade), a world leader in the development of image processing technologies for consumer and PC-display products, today announced that Dell Inc. has designed Genesis' FLI2300 video format converter, featuring Faroudja(R)'s video processing technology, into its new 17-inch LCD TV. The Dell W1700 17-inch LCD TV also utilizes Genesis' Jag-ASM display controller with two-channel processing. Available in the United States and Canada beginning today for $699, the W1700 combines a flat panel LCD monitor with a television tuner, enabling customers to view television or DVDs, play video games, and use computer applications on one device. "Dell's selection of Genesis Microchip's Emmy award-winning Faroudja technology for its entry into the LCD TV market is consistent with Dell's strategy of offering customers high quality, leading-edge products," said Anders Frisk, executive vice president of Genesis Microchip. "We believe that consumers will benefit from an affordably priced 17-inch LCD TV that features superior picture-quality." The W1700 is HDTV ready and includes integrated speakers that deliver up to 5 watts per channel. This wide screen display, capable of 16:9 aspect ratio format, is ideal for video applications and, combined with picture-in-picture capabilities, can multitask by simultaneously viewing images from both PC and video inputs. This 17-inch LCD TV features VGA and DVI inputs, an integrated tuner and S-video, component video, and composite video inputs for use as a television, whether or not it is connected to a PC. The Dell W1700 17-inch LCD TV will initially be available in the United States and Canada, with additional countries to follow over the next few months. Information and specifications can be found at www.dell4me.com/delltvs. The FLI2300 is a single-chip digital video processor that converts standard interlaced and high definition video signals into formats compatible with the fixed pixel formats of flat panel displays. It also features video enhancement technologies, aspect ratio conversion and Faroudja's proprietary DCDi(R) algorithms that eliminate the jagged edges seen on moving angled lines in video. The Jag-ASM is a highly integrated dual channel display processor that features a complete analog front-end for VGA analog interface and provides high design scalability. It accepts input images from multiple sources and displays them on LCD, PDP or DLP flat panel displays. About Genesis Microchip Genesis Microchip Inc.
