Matrox Graphics Announces New Parheliaä 256MB Graphics Card

Delivering ultimate usability and productivity to the most demanding 3D workstation professionals

Montreal, Canada, October 24, 2002—Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of professional graphics solutions, today announced the new Parhelia 256MB graphics board designed for the most demanding 3D workstation users in the AEC, DCC, MCAD and GIS markets. At an ESP of US $599, an unprecedented price for this memory configuration on a graphics accelerator, the Parhelia 256MB provides the ultimate in productivity and reliability, award-winning image quality and cutting-edge workstation features.

Providing ample local memory for high-resolution multi-head display buffers and locally-cached datasets such as textures, the Parhelia 256 MB enables sustained productivity for the most demanding design environments including hardware-accelerated 3D on triple-displays and complex rendering with abundant high-resolution texture usage.

With support for DCC applications such as 3ds maxä , by Discreetä and Softimageú XSI ä as well as AEC applications such as AutoCAD 2002Ò , by AutodeskÒ and MicrostationÒ , by Bentley Systems Inc., professional workstation users will benefit from the significant productivity gains of Parhelia’s revolutionary Surround Design, the only triple-head accelerated 3D environment from a single AGP graphics solution.

Triple-display Surround Design

Parhelia’s unique Surround Design dramatically increases viewing options and productivity in workstation applications by empowering design professionals such as architects, engineers and animators with the ability to organize projects across three displays in several configurations. This feature brings tremendous benefits to all classes of workstation applications; whether stretching a single application across three monitors, opening multiple viewports across three displays, or keeping multiple applications open simultaneously, the boost to real user productivity is significant. Parhelia’s Surround Design eliminates the need to constantly alternate between applications and provides the ultimate in desktop real estate.

Productivity enhancing software bundle

The Parhelia 256MB comes bundled with productivity enhancing components such as custom PrecisionCAD drivers for AutoCADÒ 2002, by AutodeskÒ , powerful visualization and collaboration tools from TORNADO Technologies, WYSIWYG plug-ins for 3ds maxä and WayTech Colorealä , a professional multi-monitor color calibration for precise color matching.
