Se trata de un aparato de la afamada marca Anchor Bay, sobradamente conocida por sus magníficos chips procesadores de vídeo. El aparato consigue escalar/convertir cualquier señal de entrada de diferentes aparatos hasta una resolución de 1080p con excelente calidad.
Además de otras muchas cosas, incorpora un CMS (Colour Managment System) con las siguientes características:
* Color Gamut with White point adjustment for accurate color reproduction in displays
* 11-point Grayscale controls to calibrate display gray levels over the full signal range

Especificaciones
The iScan™ Duo is Anchor Bay's first video processor to feature two HDMI 1.3 video outputs and eight HDMI 1.3 inputs. The iScan Duo converts standard definition, high definition and PC signals from your DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray Disc player, DVR, game console, or HTPC to any output resolution up to 1080p.
The iScan Duo serves as your complete A/V hub, providing audio/video switching that simultaneously eliminates A/V lipsync and allows direct connections to your TV, projector and A/V Receiver.
Precision Deinterlacing™
480i/576i/1080i 10-bit Motion, Edge & Source-Adaptive Deinterlacer
* Five-field motion adaptive deinterlacing
* Edge adaptive processing for smooth diagonal edges
* Three frame video processing delay (Max)
* Game Modes with very low latency
* Sub-1 frame delay with edge adaptive processing
* 2 frame delay with edge and motion adaptive processing
PReP®, Progressive ReProcessing
Recovers the original interlaced fields from deinterlaced progressive formats such as 480p, 576p and 1080p. The original interlaced source can then be deinterlaced by VRS Precision Deinterlacing technology to produce a higher quality progressive image.
Precision Video Scaling™
10-bit high definition video scaler supporting 1080p input and output
Mosquito Noise Reduction - reduces random noise which appears along the edges of compressed images
Fine Detail Enhancement - to extract fine detail in low-resolution or compressed sources
Edge Enhancement - to sharpen edges without adding any ringing
Progressive Cadence Detection™
Enables 24/48/72Hz and 25/50/75Hz output from film-based content at 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080p resolutions
Precision AV LipSync™
Intelligent digital audio delay technology to match Audio & Video timing
RightRate™
High-Performance Framerate Conversion
AutoVFR™
Intelligent Component Video Inputs with Automatic Video Format Routing
