Have you heard of the new CyReL SKYLINE M16-1280? (Where do they
get these names?!?!) This is a RISC based 16 million color high
resolution graphics card for the Atari ST(e), MEGA, and TT030 range
of computers. The card comes with a VME interface for the TT030 and
Mega STE. An ACSI interface is also available as an option. This
is a Canadian product and it sounds amazing. Some of the specs follow:
Maximum display resolution:
1280 x 1024. Resolution is programmable in steps of four(horizontally
and vertically).
60 frames/sec non-interlaced for flicker-free display. PAL or NTSC
support. Refresh rates are programmable.
2 MB standard. Fast video RAM is used to store single or up to 262
screen buffers.
24,8,4r 1 bit/pixel. An 8 bit depth buffer option is available
in 24 it/pixel mode.
mode_........16,777,216 colours
mode_1.....................256 colours
mode_2......................16 colours
mode_3.......................4 colours
mode_4.......................2 colours
Graphics sor:
32-bit high performance RISC CPU with built-in floating point
co-processor. It delivers a maximum of 20 MIPS and 1.5 MFLOPS.
Using the three 20 Mbit/s high speed LAN ports it is possible to
inter-connect several CyReL M16-1280 GRAPHIC CARDS to form a fast
graphics engine.
1MB(sa or 4MB(option) supported. Work RAM buffer is used to
store program & compressed graphics data, video parameters and
command
queues. Usage of RAM can be configured to support RAM DISK
functions,
hold caracter fonts or be solely/partly used by other CyReL M16-1280
cards n a network.
VDI difware on disk(standard) or in ROM (option) will enable
almost any VDI application to use the new high speed display with its
resolutions, colours and functions.
GENLOCK, TH SCROLLING & PANNING:
External video source can be used to GENLOCK CyReL M16-1280 images &
live video. Smooth hardware scrolling and panning allows virtual
