As the first video processor to achieve THX certification, the DVDO iScan VP50PRO serves as a valuable addition to any high end home theater system. During the THX certification process, the VP50PRO underwent a wide range of tests to analyze scaling, color accuracy, overscan and deinterlacing. The result of this testing and certification is a video processor that is capable of rendering exceptional images from a wide range of high definition and standard definition sources.
The TiVo® Series3 HD™ Digital Media Recorder is the world’s first THX Certified DVR. To address this "must-have" product for HDTV buyers, the THX team developed an in-depth video and audio specification for HD DVR record and playback performance. Working closely with TiVo, THX engineers analyzed the TiVo box for key performance features, including frequency response, signal to noise ratios, color levels and deinterlacing, as well as audio playback. Leveraging its heritage in visual production and presentation, THX also performed a series of subjective evaluations, similar to the tests used during the mastering of films to THX Certified DVDs. The TiVo box was subjected to side-by-side analysis of recorded content versus original "over-the-air" material. THX Certified DVRs ensure the sound and visual impact will always remain true to the original broadcast — making for superb HDTV performances.
