Meridian Iris HD upscaling iPod Dock

by Mat Lu Sep 6th 2007 at 6:00PM

Playlist is reporting that specialty audio equipment maker Meridian is planning to release the Iris universal iPod Dock with a built-in HD video upscaler. Using Marvell's Qdeo digital processing engine the device will upscale iPod video to 1080p (HDMI) or 720p (component) as well as feature digital (optical) and analog audio. Considering that the iPod's TV out resolution is limited to VGA (640x480) this could be a major improvement. On the other hand, upscalers can only do so much--there's just not that much data there to begin with--so it's still going to be a far cry from true HDTV. Personally I'd be quite curious to see what its output looks like when he device ships in November.

The Iris iPod Dock will sell for $379 when it's released in November.
