Darbee Fidelio Demoed at CEDIA - Page 3

I think the order the boxes are in would be relevant to how each is set. I would think great amount of Darbeevision processing should be done in the first box (set at say full pop at 80 but I really don't know having just at present a single Darblet, and the less aggresive in the second, say HD at 20. The second box would become in essence a noise filter.

Hopefully the Fidelio will allowe a pass through of the new 300mhz hdmi chips for 1080p60 3d frame packing. It should allow all features/processing at 4k and hopefully be upgragable to 4k 48 or 60. At this high of a price point it needs to be fairly future proof. Most of the new high end processors will either not be ugradable or will take years to be upgraded to 60 frame packing or 4k 48/60. Future upgradabIlity with upgrades done so in reasonable time frames will be a big plus. With these features and state of the art switching it will be a very functional piece. I would then take the plunge.

Yes, please!

I would be interested in this unit if in addition to the Darbee processing it included sophisticated and adjustable block, mosquito, and temporal noise reduction algorithms, wherein different noise reduction settings can be associated with different input signal formats.

For example, for a 1080p signal from a Blu-ray the unit would use one set of filter settings (e.g., no or minimal filtering). If the input signal switches to 480i/p, such as from an SD source, it could automatically switch to a second set of user-configured filter settings (e.g., more aggressive filtering).

Put the current product with the same functionality in a metal, more attractive case, move the inputs and outputs to the rear, improve the Mickey Mouse power supply connector and provide the ability to upgrade firmware via the internet, price it at $500 to $700 and I'm all over it. I have an external VP so I need no other functionality.

They will lost a huge potential customer bass at $2000, but I most certainly could be wrong in that regard (it would not be the first time). I sure as heck would not purchase one at that price.

 

Add to your nicely-stated list the ability to store and recall several different pre-sets, and I am sold as well....

Will Darbee be at CES 2013?

They are listed as an exhibitor on the CES 2013 website.

Nice. With Intel, Dolby, Yamaha, Denon being a no-show, I don't know what's left that are still exciting to be seen (other than Sony and Panasonic)
