At the Digital Detective’s first major trade show, the 1999 International Security
Conference, it was selected to be among twenty-three products designated as “The
Industry’s Finest” and it went on to win the “Product Achievement Award.” Having
developed and proven the technology, in late 1999 DPS successfully sold the Digital
Detective and the Security Products division to a leading global company specializing
in security products.
Broadcast
A key contributor to the quality and remarkable capabilities of DPS’s computer video
products has been our lengthy experience in the broadcast studio field, and our
traditional broadcast product line is now stronger than ever. In the fall of 1997 we
introduced a new product, the DPS V-Clips. This is a rackmount full-motion video
and still store system, with the unique capability to record real-time, full-frame video
and synchronized audio, all instantly accessible through a powerful visual database
and keyword search engine. In 1998 we brought out another innovative product, the
DPS Whiplash. This is a powerful disk-based slow motion and instant replay system,
which uses a proprietary software algorithm to dynamically optimize field and frame
data to provide ultra-smooth slow motion playback. Also new for 1998 was the DPS-
470AV Serial Digital Component Audio-Video Synchronizer, equally suited for work
in analog, digital or hybrid broadcast studios. The 470AV won a “Pick Hit” award at
its NAB ’98 introduction.
At NAB 2000 DPS introduced two innovative new studio products: the DPS-475 and
DPS-575 Multi-Function Analog/Digital AV Synchronizers. Equally suited for analog,
digital or hybrid facilities, these synchronizers represent the ideal choice for
broadcasters making the transition to digital television (DTV). Available in video only
and audio/video configurations, they provide an ideal bridge from analog video
signals, such as satellite and microwave feeds, to digital production facilities. The
DPS-475 is an NTSC only model while the DPS-575 is an auto-sensing dual standard
(PAL/NTSC) device. Both models incorporate a 12-bit adaptive 3-dimensional comb
filter decoder of DPS’ own design.
Research and Development for both of DPS’s major product lines – Broadcast and
Post Production – is accomplished by one tightly-knit group of people, working
together to ensure that ground-breaking innovations and advances are shared by all
our products.
Digital Processing Systems’ corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities are
located just north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Operations for the Americas are
headquartered near Cincinnati, Ohio. A United Kingdom office oversees European,
African and Middle Eastern operations from London, and Asia and Pacific Rim
countries are serviced by our office in Sydney, Australia.
