ELSA RECEIVES "OBJECT HONORS AWARD"
ELSA's WINNER PRO Graphics Board Series Offers
Outstanding Performance in NEXTSTEP
Aachen, Germany/San Francisco, CA - ELSA Inc., manufacturer
of German-engineered high-performance products for computer
graphics and data communications, announces it has received
The Object Honors award for its WINNER PRO line of graphics
boards. Sponsored by NeXT, DCI and SHL Systemhouse, The
Object Honors acknowledges companies whose products are
based on NEXTSTEP, the only object-oriented operating
system available today.
An independent panel of journalists and industry analysts
selected ELSA's WINNER PRO series of add-in graphics
accelerator cards on the basis of its ability to improve
customer productivity through high resolution and true
color display. ELSA unlocks the colors and the clearness of
images necessary for power users who need increased detail
and picture quality at high resolution with TrueColor
support. Less panning and zooming allows the end user to
view everything with precision, and reduces the amount of
time spent on the editing or analysis process. ELSA WINNER
PRO boards can be added into any existing PC system. With
the user-friendly ELSA WINNER Inspector dialog box, users
can customize screen resolution, color depth and refresh
rate to a specific monitor.
"We are very proud to receive The Object Honors award.
This award confirms both our expertise in graphics
acceleration and our commitment to the fast-growing
NEXTSTEP market", said Theo Beisch, managing director of
ELSA responsible for the computer graphics division. "We
are especially pleased to be the first company worldwide to
offer 1600 x 1200 resolution for NEXTSTEP. With crisp,
clear images and high refresh rates, our customers know
that we've designed our boards with ease of use and
ergonomics in mind."
The forward-looking operating system NEXTSTEP, which is
based on Unix and the MACH system kernel, distinguishes
itself by its functionality and intuitive usability. It
offers Display Postscript and true WYSIWYG, supports
network and client/server operations and is a powerful
developing tool that allows custom software to be easily
created. NEXTSTEP is the operating system of choice for the
desktop publishing, color publishing, and digital image
processing industries. Banking, insurance and stock
exchange firms are quickly adopting this advanced system.
Both the VESA Local Bus version and the PCI bus version of
the ELSA graphics boards with their 64-bits graphics
controller Vision964 or 864 offer the highest resolutions
and refresh rates to NEXTSTEP users. ELSA boards come with
a NEXTSTEP driver, as well as drivers for Windows 3.11,
4.0, Windows NT, OS/2 and AutoCAD. The WINNER 2000PRO-PCI-H
with its 4 MB VRAM and 200-MHz RAMDAC is ELSA's latest
development for the graphics board market. It allows a
resolution of 1600 x 1200 with 16-bit color at 77 Hz.
TrueColor mode with its 16.7 million colors is available at
1152 x 864 pixels and a refresh rate of 80 Hz. ELSA's
affordable WINNER 1000PRO is also available for the
NEXTSTEP system - and like all WINNER graphics boards,
eases eyestrain with its flicker-free refresh rates.
All ELSA WINNER boards are available right now.
