Anyone know more about this? It was supposedly demoed at CES

I would like to know more also. My guess is that they will be very bare-bones, but that realta is a good little chip and could help out in a lot of situations.


Price is the other biggie. I can't find any price info.

 

[oferlaor]

I couldn't even track down Gefen at CES...

 

[David Susilo]

I'm looking for any info on realta-based standalone box and its performance quality compared to the VP50 PRO.

 

[Zax]

Vantage-HD & HD2 is too infrequently mentioned here, no idea why, excellent performance, good support (often by me but shhhh!), sensible price and from a company with probably more Realta experience than anyone except maybe Silicon Optix themselves. (and who also do professional, non-consumer Realta based products). Vantage-HD2 is so much more than a re-hashed reference design in a new box!

and now with established US distributors and a growing US rep/dealer network!

Zax, how much money are we talking about here? I'm thinking about selling HQV based units in Indonesia.

 

[Cameron]

According to their website, the MSRP is $3299

Gee, Zax, the Vantage-HD thread has nearly 1600 posts and 115,000 views. You are hardly being ignored. There aren't a lot of Vantage threads, but the main one is quite active.

Perhaps because I get responses from Gefen and others when I send an email asking some questions and none from Calibre after repeated attempts?

I share this sentiment exactly.

A news release here:

$699 sounds very nice, but it depends on how many inputs and of course performance. Still, it is good to have more VP options.

 

[bfdtv]

I'd like to hear what sort of video options it will have, if any.

 

[Cameron]

Yeah it would be nice to know some specs, and what it can actually do.

 

[DonoMan]

Yeah. I want some decent NR and I don't want to pay for a RadianceXD.

Download the Gefen TV catalog at their website for details on it and other new products from them.

I exchanged emails with Frank Chye at Cypress as well as Gary Martin at Gefen and it appears that the Cypress Instant HQV HD Scaler and the Gefen TV Scaler Pro are the same product.


Frank Chye at Cypress said that the Instant HQV HD Scaler would be marketed by Gefen and would be available in late March. Gary at Gefen also said that the Gefen TV Scaler Pro would be available in late March with an MSRP of $699.


Neither confirmed that they are the same product, but it's a pretty easy conclusion to draw eventhough the picture in Frank's .pdf differs from the one james.92 linked above.


Frank at Cypress sent me a .pdf with the specs, but at 2MB it is too big too attach. If someone wants to host it I can email it to you.

Is the PDF the same as this one?

InstantHQVProductBrief.pdf (2,121,248 bytes)

 

[mfogarty5]

Yes, that's the one.

 

[Murilo]

Wow I have been looking for something like this, if they could get this to 499, I would purchase without even thinking.
