Image-enhancement specialist DarbeeVision is replacing its award-winning Darblet DVP-5000 Visual Presence real-time video enhancer with a new and improved “mass market” processor.

The new DVP-5000S ($249) is a simple HDMI video pass-through design based on a newly developed platform designed to enhance the depth, clarity, and realism of any video image. The 5000S uses the same processing algorithms used in DarbeeVision's flagship processor, the DVP-5100CIE and includes a full-sized custom remote control with omni-directional IR capability (the Darblet had a credit-card-sized remote with limited functionality).

Like its predecessor, the DVP-5000S accepts any HDMI 1.4 video source and outputs an enhanced video stream said to improve all kinds of video content, including standard definition, high definition, upscaled HD, streamed Internet video, and downloads.

"No camera has ever captured an image in the same way that we see with our two eyes," said Larry Pace, president of DarbeeVision Inc. "All images are missing disparity depth cues, so every image that has ever been taken cannot appear fully real. By leveraging Paul Darbee's discovery that you can, in fact, embed depth information into images, we have solved the 150-year-old problem of how to make flat images appear as they do in real life.”
