Now for the first time, you can display real high resolution images
on your PC for hundreds instead of thousands of dollars. All you need is
an EGA equipped IBM PC/XT/AT or clone, and the new CLARITY1 image co-
processor. The CLARITY1 will display high-resolution REAL IMAGES (not
a grainy halftone) in color or monochrome on most multi-sync compatible
monitors, and it supports most new extra high resolution EGA compatible
controllers.
In passive mode, the CLARITY1 allows normal EGA functions to operate,
in most cases producing a sharper-than-original display. When in imaging
mode the CLARITY1 uses high speed VLSI circuitry to perform real-time
signal processing, and thereby create a high quality image display on your
existing monitor.
Provided with the CLARITY1 board is a pop-up menu software user
interface, which allows image capture from popular video frame grabbers
or image scanners. The same software will allow user-controlled processing
of captured images to improve viewing quality, and will produce hard-copy
of the images on several popular printers, including the EPSON dot-matrix
and the HP laserjet series. There is also a C-callable library of routines
to allow the user to write programs which use the CLARITY1 image mode
display from their own apllications ( like real-estate listings, or
employee ID checks, or medical image viewing, etc.).
As an added bonus, the CLARITY1 stores all images in compressed form,
so that normal EGA 640x350 images fit in approx. 110K bytes, and the highest
resolutions (like the GENOA 800x600) fit in 180Kbytes (color images
are the same storage size as monochrome). The CLARITY1 software will even
convert raw binary images from other image capture systems to its own
display format.
If you thinks it SOUNDS impressive, you ought to SEE it work.
