Joe Kane's Imaging Science Foundation Approves the Madrigal Proceed PAV for "High Fidelity Video"

An ISF first, a consumer electronics video switcher that does not distort the video signal

Boca Raton, FL, November 28, 1995......Audio products that handle multiple video sources have created picture quality problems in home theater. Components that switch inputs from a laserdisc player to a satellite dish or cable TV should not degrade or distort video pictures. "There are many legitimate difficulties in transferring film to video and delivering good pictures to consumer's homes. There is no reason for something as basic as a video switcher to compromise picture quality," says ISF producer Joel Silver.

The ISF has discovered that numerous problems are introduced into video pictures by consumer video preamplifiers. This is unfortunate as this product category has exhibited explosive growth. Common errors we have found include, but are certainly not limited to, poor low frequency response, chroma phase distortion, incorrect video levels, no match between input and output, noise in the video, and poor ground connections on the video connectors.

We are pleased to announce that the Proceed PAV from Madrigal Audio Laboratories is a landmark product, a consumer electronics audio video preamplifier good enough for Joe Kane to use in his own home theater.

With so many video sources to choose from, consumers need a high fidelity video switcher that can pass the video signal to the display without degrading the signal. With an ISF approved switcher from Proceed, you can connect all your components and see a clean clear image on your video screen.

The ISF has been training manufacturers, dealers, and writers in electronic imaging display standards. Companies like Bose, Capitol Cities/ABC, CBS, Dolby, Electrohome, Electronic Arts, Faroudja, Group W, Hughes/JVC, Marantz, Philips, Runco, Stereophile, Texas Instruments, Thomson, Toshiba, and Video Magazine have been trained by the ISF.
