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 screen size management.
