TERANEX
produces high performance, future-proof
solutions for the digital media professional. The
industry-leading array processor products combine the
flexibility of a programmable solution with the
high-throughput of a real-time platform. Teranex converters,
post-processors and noise reducers have been adopted by
over 200 of the largest broadcasters and post-production
houses worldwide.

The
imageEnhance§ family of products are built on Teranex's
proprietary technology which consists of PixelMotion§
de-interlacing, cadence detection and handling, scene change
detection and the company's powerful array processing
platform. The core conversion technology generates perfect
progressive frames from any interlaced video format which
results in the original content looking as though it was
acquired by a progressive camera.
imageEnhance noise reduction products increase
bit-rate efficiency and image quality with powerful MPEG
Artifact Reduction, Grain Reduction, Temporal Recursive
and Brickwall filters that remove noise without sacrificing
the detail of the content.
Other imageEnhance products perform unique enhancement
functions such as adding the look of film to video
content. Flexible, cost-effective Teranex array processing
platforms enable real-time operation of this portfolio of
applications to significantly improve the quality of video.

imageRestore
provides an unprecedented level of film restoration tools in
a real-time package. You can mix and match processing
filters to address the specific artifacts needing cleanup in
the film originated material.
The imageRestore family of products are built on Teranex's
proprietary DCR§ technology that enables detection,
classification and replacement of visual defects and the
company's powerful array processing platform. This
technology allows the identification of an extremely high
percentage of defects while minimizing the number of false
detects. Defects are filled with material and film grain
from the surrounding area for a more natural looking
replacement. This results in faster image restoration with
fewer artifacts - do more in a single pass than ever before,
in real-time.
imageRestore products include the premier dirt concealment
and noise & grain reduction of StarFilm§, the
powerful scratch concealment of ScratchOut§ and Image
Stabilization.
ImageRestore - do more than ever before in a single pass -
in real-time.

Teranex
imageConvert solutions improve productivity by allowing the
creation of multiple standard definition formats from a
single high definition master with pan and scan transforms
combined with industry leading down-conversion.
Teranex provides the only solution for hundreds of format
conversions, all retaining the highest possible quality.
But, the Teranex array processing platform is also the
answer to the fluctuating industry requirements. Since
Teranex high performance products are programmable, they can
be quickly updated to keep pace with the latest changes in
standards and formats.
Xantus is a Teranex solution that provides a future-proof
answer; a way of safeguarding your investment in HD. With
Teranex array processor products, like Xantus and Xantus-one,
additional functions can be conveniently and economically
added in situation, when and as required, through software
upgrade.

The HDTV
transition is a massive undertaking that is affecting
virtually every sector of the TV industry; involving
everyone from producer to consumer. This comprehensive
transition means replacing much of the video distribution
infrastructure: cameras, studios, transmission towers. And
the result of this on-going transition? A proliferation of
HD standards with different frame rates, image sizes and
aspect ratios. 18 different format types come into
production houses and broadcasters need to be supplied with
their choice of one of 17 (to-date) formats. Hundreds of
conversions need to be supported.
Teranex up-converters give you the flexibility to
offer the highest quality up-conversion with advanced noise
reduction all on a single Teranex video computer providing a
faster ROI by eliminating the need and cost for multiple
"boxes" associated with noise reduction and
pre-compression processing.

The
revolutionary Teranex video computers are based on a
patented array
processing technology that delivers high
performance and programmability. The technology scales-up to
trillions of operations per second performing
high-resolution film processing in real-time while
maintaining its high-quality processing. The supercomputer
programmability not only ensures product flexibility but
provides future-proof protection against changing standards
and formats.

Video Computer 2RU - The
2RU
Teranex Video Computer can run many of the Teranex
applications including up-conversion, noise reduction and
many of the imageEnhance§ applications and is ideally
suited to broadcasters and cable/satellite operators.

Video Computer 3/6RU - The
3RU and 6RU Video Computers can be scaled to different tasks
by adding additional processing boards. Application support
includes imageEnhance, imageRestore§ and Image Mastering
applications depending on the specific configuration.

XM§ - The
XM modular
product family is a family of high-density multi-function
modules that seamlessly integrate with Thomson's Kameleon§
media processing system. The XM multi-function module
supports up-conversion, down - conversion, linear standards
conversion and the imageEnhance§ product family.
XF§ - Adds a new level of
flexibility to the Video Computer platform by applying
Teranex applications into the nonlinear workflow for
processing file-based images at resolutions of up to 4k. XF
reads and writes common image file formats, such as DPX, on
NFS file systems and supports image formats including
standard definition (SD) and high definition resolutions
(HD) plus 2k and 4k images.
