High Resolution Color Video Graphics Adapters
F EATURES
A
dapt to the changing ATC environment
with two new additions to the Raptor
family of graphic boards. The Raptor 4000
(PCI) and Raptor 4000e (PCI Express)
both support high resolution digital
and analog monitors and ad-
dress the specific requirements
of markets like air traffic
management, vessel traffic
control, and command and
control applications.
• Multiple high resolutions
• 8/16/24/32-bits per pixel
• 256 MB frame buffer
• 2 DVI-I outputs
• Support for major Uni
x platforms
• MOX/layering support
• PCI and PCI Express (short card) versions
Multiple Resolution Support
The resolutions are software configurable, and both
boards have two DVI-I outputs for simultaneous dis-
play on analog/digital monitors. With high resolution
support, they can simultaneously drive one monitor
with a resolution of 2048 × 2048, such as the Rap-
tor 2000 LCD or Raptor SQ2801 LCD, as well as a
second monitor with a resolution of 2560 × 1600. The
optional analog configuration can support the Sony
DDM CRT monitor.
Maximum Performance, Minimum Usage
With 256MB of on-board memory and an efficient
memory manager, the boards offer excellent drawing
performance with minimum host CPU usage. They
support layering by using several methods including
MOX (multiple overlay extension). They can also be
configured in a 24-bit true color mode for high-resolu-
tion image viewing applications. Modes that support
8-bit and 24-bit simultaneous visuals or two 8-bit
visuals are also available.
Backward Compatibility
The boards are backward compatible with their
predecessors such as the Raptor 2100T and Raptor
2500T-DL so customers can maintain the same func-
tionality they are accustomed to while enjoying new
features of these boards.
Wide-Ranging Support
The Raptor 4000 and Raptor 4000e are supported on
many UNIX platforms and include time-tested driver
software that is developed in house and is easy to
install. All these features are available along with the
exemplary technical support that Tech Source custom-
ers have come to expect.
