Quartics, Inc. is announcing a new solution designed to improve movies, gaming, and media streaming on netbooks and laptops. It's called Qvu, and it's designed to deliver video quality that's "Beyond HD" while conserving power use.
Qvu is also designed to bring non-HD content up to near-HD levels. It's already been picked up by a number of OEMs including Acer.
Most netbooks don't have the hardware to rock HD video, but Qvu means to solve that problem, according to Quartics executive VP Derek Meyer:
"Consumers have raised the bar on the experience they want with video content. Qvu is the only solution to be created with this goal in mind. Any Netbook or Laptop enabled with Qvu will be unique in its ability to provide true enjoyment through incredible video realism and detail like never before."
Forward Concepts president Will Strauss piped in with his own summary of Qvu:
"Netbooks are one of the hottest new product categories. But they have lacked an ability to deliver an immersive video experience – until now. Solutions such as Qvu from Quartics help fulfill the promise of Netbooks and other portable products as a dynamic platform for the consumption of video from any source. This can only increase their appeal to consumers, and holds the potential to further grow Netbook and ultraportable device markets."
It will be incredibly exciting to see where this new technology goes and to see how it is implemented in netbooks.
