Montreal, Canada, February 20th, 2003 — Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of professional graphics solutions, is pleased to announce that its Matrox Parhelia™ 128MB graphics card has been selected by HP as a distinctive graphics solution for various HP workstations. Parhelia offers exceptional stability and robustness to HP workstations and carries on Matrox's longstanding tradition of delivering rock-solid drivers, unique features and award-winning image quality.
Designed for 2D and 3D workstation professionals, Parhelia offers the most comprehensive display output options on the market. Parhelia users can choose from various combinations of RGB, DVI and TV displays with Matrox's unique DualHead®-HF feature, the first fully-symmetric multi-display support from a single graphics chip, capable of independently displaying dual analog outputs at 2048x1536, or dual digital outputs at 1600x1200 with independent gamma-correctable hardware overlays. And now, with Matrox's unique triple-display Surround Design feature, users can enable hardware-accelerated 3D across one, two or three monitors from a single chip, for tremendous productivity gains. TripleHead provides the ultimate in onscreen real estate, stretching a desktop across three displays to a maximum resolution of 3840x1024.
"Matrox Graphics is pleased to receive this distinction from HP," says Al Vandenbussche, director, North American sales, Matrox Graphics Inc. "HP customers can be confident that they are receiving a stable and feature-packed graphics card which, combined with HP's workstations, provides them with amazing capabilities."
Parhelia also adds considerable value to CAD and GIS users with its triple-display ability, giving them the freedom to simultaneously view a project from various angles or in different stages of development, and to digital video workstation and digital content creation (DCC) users, enabling consumers to display a multitude of application windows, toolbars, timelines and effects control menus for increased efficiency. Parhelia features many other benefits for the digital video and DCC markets, including the What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) plug-ins for Adobe® After Effects® and Discreet™ 3Dstudio max™, and Dual-display plus TV-Output, allowing users to preview their project full-screen to a TV monitor while editing.
"Our consumers demand a stable and productive workstation that allows them to handle the most taxing applications with ease," says Jim Zafarana, worldwide marketing manager, HP's Workstation Global Business Unit. "With HP workstations and the Parhelia 128MB graphics card, our customers should receive the stability and flexibility they need in a graphics solution to accomplish the most demanding tasks."

If they've got tens of thousands of Parhelia chips waiting to be sold, it's probably gonna be a long time before they get around to making new ones.
