Statement D2
“… A COMPLETE VIDEO PROCESSING SOLUTION …
MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU SEE IN OUTBOARD VIDEO PROCESSORS …”
– Kris Deering, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity on Anthem's new broadcast-quality video processing
“… OUTSTANDING … normally, performance like this is reserved for flagship standalone video processors,” said
Secrets of Home Theater
raving about Anthem's new digital video processing. Now (in addition to all of the features
found in the AVM 30!) the AVM 50 includes the same state-of-the-art broadcast-quality video processing currently
receiving critical acclaim in the Anthem™Statement D2.
As with the D2, the improvement the AVM 50 brings to 480i DVD picture quality is astounding — almost as remarkable
as the clarity it brings to HD 1080i material. And while on lower-resolution displays improvements are dramatic, on the
new generation of 1080p displays, picture quality is simply astonishing. And yes! In the hands of this latest Audio/Video
Master even Component Video material looks better. With Anthem’s advanced hardware and software solutions,
digital video connections are now truly “plug and play.”
The AVM 50 represents the ultimate in
affordable
high-end audio PLUS broadcast-quality digital video processing.

– Anthem’s
proprietary software unleashes the full potential of the
Gennum VXP
™
Digital Image Processor which boasts
broadcast-quality image processing algorithms to
convert any SD or HD video standard to other video
standards, up to a resolution of 1920 x 1080p at 60 Hz.
Key features of VXP
™
technology include:
– Superior image quality using per-pixel processing.
– Very robust film mode detection for SD and HD inputs.
– TruMotionHD

Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing
ensures optimal image sharpness and picture
resolution when converting 480i, 576i, and 1080i
inputs to progressive scan.
– FineEdge
™
Dynamic Directional Interpolation
eliminates jaggy artifacts (i.e. temporal distortion)
found in traditional de-interlacing algorithms.
– FidelityEngine

Anthem believes that image processing is far more effective
executed inside the digital audio/video processor, as opposed to
through an external image processor for the folowing reasons:
– Enables processing of as many sources as the
preamplifier can accommodate.
– Convenience! Audio and video do not have to be
switched separately as the user switches from
source to source.
– Video processing can be “tweaked” separately
and accordingly for each source.
– HDMI
™
switching time is minimized.
– External processors cannot accommodate playing
DVD-A through HDMI
™
.
– Anthem
™
software upgrades can be incorporated
over time to enhance connectivity.
