PRO-1410HD Elite® 61" PureVision® Plasma Monitor

Stand in front of the Elite PRO-1410HD 61” Widescreen High-Definition plasma monitor, and you'll be mesmerized.
From input through all processing steps and to output on the display, the video signal remains in the digital domain. This ensures noise-free, no loss signal quality for the highest possible resolution of all types of input from video to film to PC.
Four gamma modes can be selected. Such precision allows for more accurate display of the tone gradations, even for images with low lighting
Each individual lamp is encased in its own “cell”, with walls on all sides so that light doesn't bleed into neighboring cells. This energy-efficient design allows each lamp to deliver a more concentrated beam of light, for truer colors and brighter images.
The ISFTMC3 (Custom Calibration Configuration) feature enables your plasma TV to be optimized for the specific environment in which you've placed it. As an optional service, an ISF professional can calibrate contrast, tint, color levels, and other parameters to create the most accurate image possible.
The PRO-1410HD uses a precisely engineered Color Filter that decreases light reflection for better view-ability and filters out unnecessary elements in the red, green, and blue light for purer color reproduction. All images, even fast moving ones, will be accurate crisp and vivid.

T+A

HDMI Scaler and Videoprocessor - PULSAR VSP 1250 R

The R-series from T+A is the most complete line of High-End electronic equipment available anywhere in the world. Extending from the audiophile two-channel P 1230 R pre-amplifier to the High-End SR 1535 R surround receiver, the range offers everything the heart could desire, whether you are a demanding music lover or a home cinema fan. The unique advantage of this series of equipment is the total ability to combine the two ranges - audio and video - without any form of compromise. No other manufacturer gives you the means to convert a thoroughbred two-channel system into a 7.1 surround system without the least adverse effect. Our basic concept of no-compromise audiophile sound quality is continued in the video components of the R-series. Hardly surprising, since the very best picture quality demands exactly the same no-compromise approach as the very best audio quality.
The VSP 1250 R reflects our company philosophy to the full. It is the perfect device to complement any surround receiver and decoder, and creates the optimum connection route to the monitor, whether that is a classic television set or a high-resolution flat-screen panel or projector. Nobody in the High-End world disputes that it is better to separate the video signal processing circuitry from the audio signal processing section. The reasoning behind separating the pre-amplifier from the power amplifiers in audio equipment is exactly the same. And that is why the VSP 1250 R is a separate, independent machine, since we deliberately chose not to incorporate its functions into a surround receiver. As a result, any user can decide whether or not he needs sophisticated video processing in his surround system. The same principle ensures that existing systems can also be upgraded to HD video without any problem. Of course, the VSP 1250 R has been developed primarily for use in conjunction with T+A systems, but its design renders it suitable for use as a stand-alone device, or with systems of other makes (if you really must) - without any problems. It can even be operated without a remote control handset.
A unique feature of the R-system is its operating convenience. A complex AV system may well include a very wide range of different devices, such as a tuner, SACD / DVD / CD player, 7.1 surround processors, mono power amplifiers, loudspeakers and a sub-woofer, and all of these have to be adjusted and controlled correctly to suit the mode of operation you have selected. Even so, a single system remote control with only 33 buttons is quite sufficient for the R-system. Operating the equipment is simple and logical, because you only need to set up and store each function process once, and thereafter a single button-press on the desired function is all that’s required: the system then sets itself up automatically - whether you want High-End two-channel stereo or genuine 7.1 home cinema. It all works just as you want it to!
Videoprocessing and Scaling:
Today’s common picture sources - DVD and TV - have a resolution of 480 / 576 lines and 720 columns. Higher-resolution formats such as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are currently becoming available, but they will only become major players in the next few years, and nobody yet knows which system will eventually prevail.
For this reason, bearing in mind the gigantic number of DVDs now in existence, it makes obvious good sense to make every effort to improve the reproduction quality of these DVDs, and to boost them so that they approach the quality of modern HD panels. Most of the flat-screen TVs and projectors sold in the last few years have a resolution of 720p, although the latest machines have a maximum resolution of 1080p. However, most of these display units are only fitted with standard converters and scalers. The VSP 1250 R can do much more! We use the very latest video processors used for professional studio applications; they are extremely fast, and are able to apply interpolation to the video signal and generate a higher-resolution de-interlaced signal of up to 1080p from it. Which format and resolution delivers the best results depends on the specific monitor used and has to be decided individually for each monitor model. However, in every case the VSP 1250 R can be relied upon to deliver sharp, finely-resolved pictures with perfectly smooth movement sequences.

Significant improvement in picture quality from all monitors and projectors:
Analogue video sources are digitized to studio quality standards.
Active switching of the four HDMI inputs.
Professional video processing (Processing).
Active HDMI + DVI outputs.
Enormous improvement in convenience for complex home cinema systems:
The entire T+A system is controlled by a single, clearly laid-out remote control handset which can manage up to ten analogue and four HDMI sources.
All operating parameters are stored for each individual source.
The system can also control particular video monitors.
Only a small number of buttons required for complete control of the entire system.
Can be integrated into Home Automation systems via the RS 232 control interface.
An excellent method of upgrading other makes of AV receiver.
Can be controlled completely from the front panel
