VideoEq VideoEq Advanced Video Color Processors

Today’s high performance, high definition, home theater systems with 1080p60 and beyond pixel-perfect images are still underperforming in color accuracy. Now, with the exclusive color processing engine in the VideoEq family, you can have image quality and accurate color too. 

Sadly, color accuracy is one of the least understood and most critical aspects of a video system. Hollywood directors use color and color tone as an artistic medium to help tell the story. Color tone is just as important to the overall mood and feeling of a scene as is the soundtrack. Getting the colors right can make the home cinema experience much more memorable. Just like the smell of theater popcorn and the 6-Channel surround sound.

6-axis color

The VideoEq Pro features a 6-Axis CMS
system that can accurately match a display’s
color primary colors to a standard system
such as Rec 709 or Rec 601.

The VideoEq Story
The video industry has long focused on larger screens, higher pixel counts, noise reduction, and
artifact elimination. AVFoundry has taken image quality to the next level by developing the VideoEq series to address the lack of color fidelity in modern video displays. To develop the VideoEq and the VideoEq Pro, we looked far and wide to understand the state of the art in color processing. We started by looking at professionals whose livelihood depends on color accuracy. We looked at the color-managed workflow for photography. We looked at the color matching systems used in film production. We even looked at technology used for prints and paint matching, just to make sure that we had a good handle on the state of the art in color systems.
We based the color engine in the VideoEq products on the best-practices used in the color industry to ensure that you can have the highest video color quality possible.

RGB White Balance

The VideoEq and VideoEq Pro features a 10-Bit RGB Color Lookup Table that can white balance at 1,024 points and accurately reproduce any desired gamma value.

VideoEq’s do not:
• Provide any sort of scaling; they are 1:1 input/output
• Provide any sort of colorspace conversion -- what comes in is what goes out
• Strip HDCP
• Have traditional video processor features. If you need noise reduction, etc... you should get a video processor
