DVDO EDGE upscales everything to 1080p just for you (2)

CrunchGear (601) permalink
DVDO has a rich heritage of fine upscalers and the companies latest is hopefully isn’t different. The EDGE takes video via six HDMI 1.3a ports, two component, one composite, or S-Vid inputs and does some internal scaling wizardry, only to send the now 1080p image over two of HDMI 1.3a outputs. If you have scoffed at scalers in the past, these are the real deal my friend. I have spent a good amount of time ...Shared by Jon Erickson (7) JUSTIN (13)Contribute comment -

Orinda says Sony PS3 infringes on their patent, sues, needs a kick to the balls, too (4)
onWhy is America so freakin’ sue-happy. The latest comes from Orinda Intellectual Properties USA as they claim that the Sony Playstation 3 infringes on patent #5,438,560. Said patent depicts the methods by which you record and reproduce information on an optical disc. Sounds absurd, right? What a bunch of jackasses.
