Parhelia Precision SGT unveiled
Ok, it is a speciality board (again), this time aimed towards high-frequency grayscale stereo displays... but it is a new Matrox card. 
Matrox unveils Parhelia Precision SGT graphics accelerator for high-frequency grayscale stereo displays
Bringing optimal quality, performance and flexibility to intelligence/ reconnaissance/surveillance workstations
San Diego, California, West 2004, February 3rd, 2004 — Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of professional graphics solutions, today announced the new Parhelia Precision SGT graphics card, uniquely designed to drive high-frequency grayscale stereo displays with industry-leading quality, the broadest compatibility, and the best grayscale stereo performance on the market.
"We are very impressed with this new Matrox Technology. In our testing we've found that the Parhelia Precision SGT delivers the best combination of performance and image quality that we've seen to-date with the Siemens SMM 21106 LS monitor," says Steve Huff, CEO, Sensor Systems Inc. "This graphics card looks very promising for our customers' requirements. Its hardware grayscale support maintains exceptionally high image quality, without any shadowing or ghosting artifacts, and ensures that all Windows® components remain visible at all times."
Delivering future-proof technology to users of grayscale stereo displays from display technology leaders such as Siemens Display Technologies, Image Systems, and Clinton Electronics Corporation, this one-of-a-kind graphics card features two channels: one with a high-quality BNC connector for unequaled grayscale monitor support, and another with both a DVI and hardware stereo connector for standard color display support. These two channels bring flexibility to intelligence/reconnaissance/surveillance workstations by enabling users to view sensitive imagery on both grayscale and color monitors, displaying images with higher contrast and detail.
"The Parhelia Precision SGT has been expressly designed to bring greater precision and flexibility to those analyzing satellite imagery," says Alain Thiffault, senior product manager, 3D workstation products, Matrox Graphics Inc. "The launch of this product marks a new focus for Matrox as we begin to deliver more specialized engineering technology, based on COTS, for military requirements."
A single-slot PCI solution, the Parhelia Precision SGT is highly scalable as it can be used alongside other specialized AGP or PCI Matrox graphics cards, such as the Parhelia HR256 for enhanced visualization on 9 mega pixel panels, in the same system for enhanced workstation setups. This unique card features 256 MB of on-board DDR unified memory; a PCI interface with support for 33 MHz and 66 MHz buses; high meantime before failure (MTBF); FanAlert, for added system security, which advises the system administrator if the fan malfunctions; power consumption that is compatible with a standard PCI bus; and currently offers full support for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows XP.
