eDef Media Labs
eDef MEDIA LABS has developed proprietary HD3 High Definition Transformation software to create True HDTV from standard video media. HD3 Transformations have deep, vibrant colors, natural skintones, good spectrals in a sharp, bright, clean picture, plus recover detail in dark backgrounds. Operating at the PIXEL level, we overcome desaturation and artifacting problems typical of upconversions and upscaling, plus can eliminate graininess (as desired) from Telecine scans. The result is High Definition that looks like "New Media". eDef MEDIA LABS is represented by Michael A. Weiss of Media Mobile Management and can be contacted at: 310-633-1743.
