PMC card supports two video graphics
engines
The IO PMC/DG1 is a high performance low power adapter supporting two video graphics engines enabling two display connections to be driven simultaneously with different resolutions and refresh rates.
New from Concurrent Technologies, the IO PMC/DG1 is a high performance low power adapter supporting two video graphics engines enabling two display connections to be driven simultaneously with different resolutions and refresh rates The output of these engines feed three display connections - an analogue RGB (to CRT) interface and a digital TMDS (to DFP) interface available via a front panel DVI-I connector and a second DVI-D compatible TMDS interface available via the rear P4 connector

6U CompactPCI Board features Flip-Chip Pentium III
Concurrent Technologies has announced the release of the PP EMB/P34 Peripheral Slot Controller CPU board, a single slot 6U CompactPCI Board featuring the Flip-Chip Pentium III processor.
Hot-Swap PMC Carrier allows continuous operation
The PP PMC/002 is designed to provide a cost effective and flexible approach to implementing standard and custom I/O requirements using industry standard PMC modules in CompactPCI systems.
The CRT interface supports resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 and the DFP interface supports up to 1600 x 1200.
The IO PMC/DG1 can be used with Concurrent Technologies' CompactPCI, VME, Multibus II or any other PMC compliant host board.
Example applications include high-resolution colour graphics, CAE/CAD/CAM, image processing, mapping systems and video walls.

High performance single slot CompactPCI controller
Concurrent Technologies has announced the release of its new single slot 6U CompactPCI System Controller Board featuring an 850MHz Intel Flip-Chip PGA 370 Pentium III processor in a single slot.
Depending on the operating system, the IO PMC/DG1 supports a wide range of display resolutions and refresh rates for standard and wide-screen formats.
The adapter supports a range of 2D/3D DFP resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, a range of 2D CRT resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 and a range of 3D CRT resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
All display resolutions can support up to 32bit/pixel colour depth.
The maximum DFP refresh rate for a resolution of 1600 x 1200 is 60Hz and the maximum CRT refresh rate for a resolution of 2048 x 1536 is 75Hz, other CRT refresh rates are 1600 x 1200 at 120Hz and 1400 x 1050 at 160Hz maximum.
For hot-swapping displays, the DVI-I and PMC P4 connectors have independent display data channel (DDC) and hot plug detect (HPD) capability for simultaneous and independent operation.
The IO PMC/DG1 PMC adapter uses the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, an embedded long life 3D/2D dual display graphics processor; this processor provides exceptional 2D/3D video graphics performance with low power consumption (typically 3.4W).
The Mobility Radeon 7500 provides two video graphics engines which support output pixel rates of up to 350MHz sourced from 32Mbyte of internal 183MHz 64bit DDR SDRAM.
The IO PMC/DG1 is a single-width PMC card and is compliant with the CMC (Common Mezzanine Card) specification.
The board complies with the PCI specification, features a PCI 33/66MHz 32bit interface and supports 3.3/5V signalling.
A 128Kbyte onboard video BIOS EPROM is fitted.
Operating systems supported include Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Linux and QNX.
