Video Scaler (1080p to 4K) with Super Resolution
LX901 LX801 LX701 LX502
Ultra HD, usually referred to as 4K, is the next
generation ultra-high-resolution standard with 3,840 x
2,160 pixels or 4,096 x 2,160 pixels—four times the
current HD 1080p standard. By detecting the fine
texture in the image and applying appropriate
compensation, a more detailed and beautiful image is
created. This high-grade HD video is further elevated to an even more
detailed, natural and realistic picture with the video scaler featuring
super resolution. The AV receiver upscales 1080p video sources up to
4K/60p high-resolution images (4K/60p/4:4:4/24-bit, 4K/24p/4:4:4/36-
bit, 4K/60p/4:2:2/36-bit) for viewing on a 4K-compatible display. The
AV receivers support 18 Gbps bandwidth, allowing reproduction of
4:4:4 colour format, and are ready to bring out the best from the future
generation Ultra HD devices with 18 Gbps transfer capabilities.
