Las Vegas, NV - NAB2001 April 23, 2001 – Visual Matrix introduces the MiniXBox HDXC the first affordable yet full-featured HDTV Format Converter for the video industry.

The MiniXBox HDXC provides many of the same features found in other HDTV Format Converters at a fraction of the price. Standard features include real time 4:3, 16:9 and anamorphic stretch aspect ratio controls, complete zoom control, advanced filters and digital HDTV inputs and outputs in all the popular formats.

The HDXC's high image quality is achieved via proprietary conversion technology that evaluates the video source characteristics and selects the appropriate filter and conversion algorithms. Separate horizontal and vertical filters provide an extra level of control for the elimination of flicker, alias and Moiré patterns. The MiniXBox includes a color bar pattern generator with over 10 color bar patterns.

The HDXC is housed in a compact 2U chassis. The front panel has a four line LCD display that provides access to all of the HDXC's functions.
