Background information
The TV550 combines front-end video processing functions, such as DVB-T channel decoding, MPEG-2/H.264 decode, analog video decode and HDMI reception, with advanced back-end video picture improvements. It also includes next generation Motion Accurate Picture Processing (MAPP2). The MAPP2 technology provides state-of-the-art motion artifact reduction with movie judder cancellation, motion sharpness and vivid color management. High flat panel screen resolutions and refresh rates are supported with formats including 1366 × 768 @ 100Hz/120Hz and 1920 × 1080 @ 100Hz/120Hz. The combination of Ethernet, CI+ and H.264 opens many possibilities for new TV experiences with IPTV or VOD. On top of that, optional support is available for 2D dimming in combination with LED backlights for optimum contrast and power savings up to 50%.
The TV550 addresses a wide range of digital television requirements for the European, North American and Asian markets. The TV550 system is available in two different versions: with the MAPP2 technology (PNX85507) for mainstream TV sets and without the MAPP2 technology (PNX85502) to provide an effective BOM for lower-end systems.
