thx for clearing up the confusions

[Fluff]

with all those screens. is there a special key on the keybaord to make the mouse pointer jump to each screen, to save wearing out mouse mat.

[Enak]

You could join several mouse pads together... maybe one for each screen.

[Faramir1966]

or you could set mouse accelleration and speed to full...wheeeee

[Fluff]

i'll take that as a no then

[Twilight]

No, this can't be it. There is no way.

If they have implemented video in in this Parhelia PCI card, summer might possibly be a either a p650 or a p750 with video in.

ahh, denial. this appears to be a common response to Matrox's product announcements as of the last few years.

Guys, this card is targetted to video editors due to it's awesome capapbilities and genlocking abilities.

Check this out...

While the Matrox Video Group traditionally gets most of the press at NAB, the Graphics Group was showing some of its latest muscle as well, in the form of a new plugin for its Parhelia PCI graphics card. The Matrox booth was buzzing, both on the video side as well as the graphics side, which has done very well with the Parhelia. The company has targeted Parhelia at users of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop. Matrox's Sebastian McDougal was showing the Parhelia running a new WYSIWYG plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro that gives the card video output support to an external device such as a video monitor or tape deck. This enables editors to see that the project they are working on in Premiere Pro looks as it should when output to an external monitor. The Parhelia PCI 256MB features 256MB DDR memory, PCI-X interface, Y/C and composite input and output support, and the capability to power 9.2 MP panels at 3840 x 2400 @ 24 Hz, through dual 400 MHz RAMDACs. The card offers dual-DVI connections as well as TV-out support, all from a single chip. It also provides genlock and frame-lock support, when used in conjunction with the new Matrox Advanced Synchronization Module, which was also be shown at the booth. The Advanced Synchronization Module synchronizes and provides genlock support to Matrox multi-display graphics boards in post production environments and other situations when synchronization, such as with titling and live switching, is required.



Thank you!

But it does not deliver signals to 9 MP panels THROUGH its RAMDACs.

what's Y/C ? is that s-video, or component

[Greebe]

Y = Luminance, C = Chrominance

Y/C = super video (SVid)

Component Video = Y, Pb, Pr

Here's a glossary of terms...

I think there maybe two versions of this card, my post was straight from www.Digitalvideoediting.com. And I do believe their statement above is correct.

I was just nitpicking: You don't need RAMDACs (DAC = Digital to Analog Converter) to digitally (i.e. using DVI^*1) send a signal to a display. For that, you use the TMDSes (but I hhaveno idea what that acronym stands for )

AZ

^*1: I do of course mean DVI-D or the digital part of DVI-I, not DVI-A or the analog part of DVI-I, which are the same signalling as DSUB, only on different plugs. Which is why cheap DSUB<->DVI-I/A adapters work.

[Greebe]

they need to be driven by dual channel DVI-D... M only put a single channel TDMS driver on their cards. Bandwidth 165mHz single channel, 330mHz dual channel.
