A built-in on-screen-display (OSD) with DISTRIBUTED BY: programmable bitmap RAM allows custom design icons and on-screen control panels. Overlay function is supported to create titling or on-screen-display menus for video adjustment. The AverLogic proprietary digital signal processing technology creates a highly stable video image without tearing effects or jagged edges. The output picture is smoother and has less flicker than the original input signal/picture. AVERLOGIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. E-mail: [email protected] URL: www.averlogic.com AVERLOGIC TECHNOLOGIES, CORP.
