Key Digital’s cutting-edge Technologies drive our award-winning product solutions.
The result is pristine video images and well-thought-out solutions as only Key Digital®
can deliver. Here’s a summary of the Technologies we’ve engineered into our products:
HOVO™(Horizontal Offset Vertical Offset)
Developed by Key Digital®to satisfy the stringent DVI and HDMI requirements for correct synchronization of
the video signal to the display.
Key Digital’s®HOVO™circuit is a powerful syncing design that corrects the syncing on these newer
standards and allows for repositioning of these signals to correctly match them to the display.
DVIC™(Digital Video Internal Clock Exchange)
Key Digital’s powerful DVIC™system regenerates the high frequency digital processing clock to provide
superior performance in 1080i to 1080p conversion.
This regeneration maximizes the video performance for displaying signals in the true HDTV 1080p format.
DVPC™(Digital Video Phase Controller)
Key Digital’s DVPC™circuit provides seven individual settings for properly adjusting the phase of the digital
processing clock with respect to the video data.
Accurate phase adjustments of the digital processing clocks are required to provide the absolute best
picture quality.
IAS™(Intelligent Auto Sense)
Key Digital’s Auto Sensing Circuit automatically senses the active video source and drives it to the display.
The novel IAS circuit built into our products performs seamless input auto switching, delivering crystal-clear
images without signal degradation.
LHBC™(Linear High Bandwidth Circuit)
To deliver the highest-quality video images, all Key Digital®products feature LHBC™, ultra-linear components
with an extremely wide bandwidth in excess of 300 MHz.
These high-bandwidth devices, along with aerospace-designed layouts, assure pristine, high quality video
image free of noise or distortions.
Our rigorous design specifications require over three-times the bandwidth commonly used for HDTV
products.
LSDC™(Lip Sync Delay Compensation)
Digital video processing circuits typically delay the video by several frames, and without correction the audio
and video are typically not aligned, resulting in a very noticeable and annoying lip-sync error.
Key Digital’s LSDC circuitry lets the user correct for the video delay, with a wide degree of correction of 0 – 10
frames, which is enough delay to bring your video and audio back into perfect lip sync alignment.
MBDC™(Micro Balance Dielectric Cable)
Key Digital’s high-quality MBDC digital cables are outstanding for reliable delivery of digital video signals
to a display.
MBDC, the unique balance of silver, copper and polyethylene materials, allows the digital video imaging
information to transfer without signal degradation.
All Key Digital®Cables feature MBDC’s unique combination of materials that are terminated with the highest
possible integrity, as poor termination will degrade signal performance.
Surface Mount Technology™and Multi-Layer Board Technology™
Circuit boards used in Key Digital®products use the very latest in materials and design, including surface
mount technology, to yield the best possible performance and reliability.
Every Key Digital®product delivers the best possible video image because our Printed Circuit Boards
(PCB’s) are designed by aerospace engineers who are extremely sophisticated at implementing extremely
wideband, low-noise circuits that communicate video signals over long distances without degradation in
signal quality.
All Key Digital®circuits are impedance-matched by the careful positioning of components and placement of
ground planes, assuring you that our products have a high degree of compatibility with virtually any and all
video displays currently available.

Your DVD player, HDTV SetTop Box, computer and other video sources provide the video signals that drive your
display. Typically the native resolution of your display is not the same as the video resolution provided by your
sources. Installations with HDTV and SDTV video signals originating from a variety of digital HDMI and analog
sources require a deinterlacer and scaler to match the source video to the native resolution of your video display.
At Key Digital®we engineer much more than pristine deinterlacing, scaling, and picture set-up functionality
into our Digital Video Processors. Key Digital®Digital Video Processors are forward-looking solutions that
help you integrate your entire video system, with the utmost in pristine image quality.
