Digital Vision AB launches motion estimation module for its new ASC3 scratch & dirt concealer at IBC2003 Stockholm, September 8, 2003 - Digital Vision AB will introduce a motion estimation module for its ASC3 scratch & dirt concealer at IBC2003 (Booth 7.530) in Amsterdam. The ASC3 is Digital Vision's third generation Advanced Scratch & Dirt Concealer aimed primarily for image enhancement and restoration applications. With pioneering algorithms and new filter technology, the ASC3 offers a break-through in real-time dirt removal providing a cleaner image once only available through non-real-time applications. The ASC3 comes with several new tools, some previously only available in software, which will help enhance even the most unworkable material. ASC3 is part of the new generation of modular tools that enables the user to easily and cost-effective upgrade with new features through software add-ons. The optional motion estimation (ME) module refines the performance by providing extra power to the adaptation and processing of the ASC3. The ASC3 ME will be sold alongside the standard ASC3 where the latter can be upgraded with the ME module at any time. Additionally software tools for analysis and for restoring single frames will be available on the company's Valhall Media Mastering platform during 2004. The ASC3 ME will be available later this year.
