Overview
Anthem - MCA50
“… OUTSTANDING … normally, performance like this is reserved for flagship standalone video processors,” said
Secrets of Home Theater raving about Anthem's new digital video processing. Now (in addition to all of the features found in the AVM 30!) the AVM 50 includes the same state-of-the-art broadcast-quality video processing currently receiving critical acclaim in the Anthem™ Statement D2.
As with the D2, the improvement the AVM 50 brings to 480i DVD picture quality is astounding — almost as remarkable as the clarity it brings to HD 1080i material. And while on lower-resolution displays improvements are dramatic, on the new generation of 1080p displays, picture quality is simply astonishing. And yes! In the hands of this latest Audio/Video Master even Component Video material looks better. With Anthem’s advanced hardware and software solutions,
digital video connections are now truly “plug and play.”
The AVM 50 represents the ultimate in affordable high-end audio PLUS broadcast-quality digital video processing.
