It's a separate microprocessing unit ("chip") on the camera's motherboard that reduces noise, improves dynamic range, and adjusts saturation in high sensitivity images (high ISO). For the Pentax KP, it was a large part of the reason the camera competed very favourably against full frame models from other manufacturers, and it may in large part be the basis of Pentax' claim that the new camera (K-3 III) will be similarly competitive in image quality, maybe even more so.
