Bluefish444 Introduces HD-SDI to DVI-I Converters

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Bluefish444 today announced two major additions to the Bluefish444 product range: redThing and blueThing, which are available immediately. These compact multi-standard HD-SDI to DVI-I converters are designed to meet the increasing demand for HD/SDI or SD/SDI monitoring, allowing HD or SD signals to be viewed using practically any LCD, plasma or projector display.

redThing and blueThing accept SD-SDI at 525/625 or 720p/1080i/1080p/ 1080PsF HD-SDI. Incoming signals and output resolution are auto-sensed for ease of use and to ensure accurate image conformity when viewed on 16:9 and 4:3 screens. The converters' high-quality spatial and temporal video processing deliver excellent frame-rate conversion, scaling and de-interlacing, resulting in amazing image quality even when used on inexpensive LCD monitors.

* SD/HD-SDI to DVI-I conversion for projector, LCD & plasma displays
* Broadcast based filters for superior image detail
* Proprietary frame rate conversion for superior image motion
* De-interlacing and up/down scaling
