Marmitek Intros GigaVideo580

The GigaVideo580 is a video transmitter to send the images from your hard disk recorder, satellite receiver or digital TV decoder to a second TV in your house.
Most video transmitters operate on the 2.4GHz frequency band. The GigaVideo580 is an exception to this. It sends the audio and video signal via the 5.8GHz frequency band. The difference between video transmitters with a 2.4GHz signal and a 5.8GHz signal is that this last one doesn’t interfere with other devices in the house at the 2.4GHz frequency band (like WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless telephones and even microwave ovens).

Toshiba: The First Upscaling TV

Toshiba calls it "the first ever upscaling TV," the new REGZA ZV series. Using Toshiba’s Resolution + technology, the REGZA ZV is able to improve the picture quality of standard definition TV broadcasts and DVD images to a level approaching high definition.
At the heart is the firm’s Quad Core HD processor (the SpursEngine) that reviews adjacent areas of an image to determine "waveforms of a similar nature", before combining pixel information to enhance edge detail and improve the perceived depth and texture of the final picture.
Comes in a 42" or 46" screen: the 46" model betters the 42" model’s 17,000:1 contrast ratio with a 30,000:1 value.
Both sets feature 100Hz frame rates and have a built-in digital tuner. Three HDMI ports are integrated as standard. Coming in December to market…
