Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing has introduced the first of a new series of dual-channel, high resolution PMC graphics controllers for VME, CompactPCI and PCI systems. The new AtlasPMC/1D is based on ATI Technologies' Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) mobile graphics processor, which supports dual 2D, 3D, OpenGL and DirectX compatible displays with up to 16.7 million colours (24bit/pixel). The M9 features 64Mbyte of integrated memory, reduced-power optimisations, integrated video output, and quad-pipeline 2D/3D acceleration to reduce host processor overhead.

The AtlasPMC/1D is designed for use in 0 to +70C, operating environments.

It simplifies the integration of high performance display graphics into VME and CompactPCI systems and displays analogue VGA screen resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 over both of its front panel connectors.

The card can also be configured to output dual digital video (DVI) channels at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 (1920 x 1200 with reduced blanking intervals).

TV video signal output (NTSC/Pal) is supported on the card's second channel and sync-on-green (SOG) can be enabled on both channels.

The PMC card's VGA/FCode BIOS enables AtlasPMC/1D to operate in virtually any x86, PowerPC or SPARC system.

Uniquely in the embedded computing marketplace, Curtiss-Wright provides software support across a broad range of operating systems including Linux, Windows and Solaris operating environments.

'The AtlasPMC/1D is a single PMC card solution that will save system integrators time and valuable board slots', said Darwin Beckel, President and General Manager of Subsystems Solutions, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing.

'This cost-effective, high performance graphics card is the tip of the iceberg for a new benign-market graphics product line from Curtiss-Wright'.
