PEP1-PB-1.0

Zoran's PEP-1 Picture Enhancement Processor is a silicon-efficient

Intellectual Property Core for video IC designs. By providing sharper,

contrast-enhanced video, PEP-1 achieves significant quality improve-

ment. PEP-1 is based on Zoran's extensive experience delivering high

quality, high volume video ICs to major consumer products manufac-

turers worldwide. Using a robust contrast enhancement algorithm

(dynamic range enhancement), PEP-1 greatly reduces the risk and

time involved when integrating picture enhancement functions into an

IC. As a result, expensive, discrete components can be eliminated

from system designs. When used in conjunction with Zoran's other IP

Core products, a silicon and memory efficient implementation can be

achieved.

VIP-II Demonstration System

Zoran offers the VIP-II FPGA demonstration system for evaluation of

the PEP-1 Picture Enhancement Processor. The VIP-II allows cus-

tomers to input composite video, s-video, or component video to test

the PEP-1's performance.
