Onkyo Announces First A/V Receiver to Feature HQV Processing

April 25, 2007--Silicon Optix, the leader in programmable video processors, just announced that Onkyo has significantly raised the bar for video performance in A/V receivers with the addition of the Reon-VX HQV video processor in two of their models. Onkyo’s TX-SR875 has a MRSP of $1,699 and will ship in June, while Onkyo’s TX-NR905 has a MRSP of $2,099 and will ship in August.

“We are going to shake up the receiver market with our new line of products. One of the key additions is HQV processing. We selected HQV processing because it delivers the best image quality in the industry, providing the maximum quality from both high-definition and standard-definition sources," said Paul Wasek, Onkyo’s Marketing Manager.

HQV’s true 1080i-to-1080p HD deinterlacing delivers the sharpest, most detailed HD images possible by employing per-pixel motion-adaptive algorithms and a sophisticated multidirectional diagonal filter that ensures video free from jagged edges. The powerful HQV processing engine also provides per-pixel motion-adaptive noise reduction, detail enhancement, and advanced scaling, delivering premium-quality upconversion of SD material.
