Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of
display processing technology, today announced that Verizon
Wireless and ASUS have launched the ZenPad Z8, incorporating
Pixelworks’ Iris mobile display processor with True Clarity®
technology. The 7.9” ASUS tablet leverages Pixelworks’ mobile video
processing technology to deliver 60 million pixel optimizations per
second for blur-free motion, establishing a new standard for HDTV
quality in mobile video.
"The ZenPad Z8 is the ultimate entertainment device for watching
movies, TV shows, and live sports," said Rangoon Chang, ASUS
General Manager, Mobile Computing Business Unit. “And ASUS’
VisualMaster suite of picture enhancements, driven by Pixelworks’
True Clarity technology, is the key to a remarkably enjoyable
viewing experience.”
“Pixelworks’ technology is setting a new standard for delivering
superior video quality on mobile devices, and in doing so is
providing OEMs with a truly unique opportunity to differentiate
their products,” said Richard Miller, Pixelworks Executive Vice
President. “We’re very pleased to expand our relationship with
ASUS, and having the ZenPad Z8 available exclusively through
Verizon Wireless represents another leading product that showcases
the benefits of Pixelworks’ True Clarity video processing
technology.”
In addition to the benefits provided by Pixelworks’ Iris video
processor, the ASUS ZenPad Z8 features the following:
- 7.9” screen with a 2048x1536 resolution
display
- Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 650 Hexa Core,
1.8 GHz
- Supports Verizon’s 4GLTE network, and
ready for XLTE
- 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, up to
128GB of expandable storage
- 8-MP rear-facing, 2-MP front-facing
camera
- USB type-C connector
The Pixelworks Iris family of mobile display processors
implements the Company’s True Clarity algorithms, processing every
video pixel at up to 60 frames per second. This ensures that users’
video experience remains true to the content creator’s intent by
eliminating artifacts such as blur and judder, and providing
detail, color and contrast that can then be significantly more
visible on today’s high-quality displays. Additionally, Pixelworks’
latest True Clarity algorithms eliminate the so-called “soap opera
effect” thanks to a newly designed “movie mode.”
The ASUS ZenPad Z8 has 13-hours of battery life and is available
exclusively from Verizon Wireless beginning June 23, 2016.
