Centris 660AV
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
With an innovative architecture that delivers new capabilities in
telecommunications, video, and speech, the Apple Macintosh Centris 660av
computer helps you work and communicate more effec-tively than ever before.
The Macintosh Centris 660av combines the horsepower of a 25-megahertz 68040
microprocessor with a 55-megahertz digital signal processor (DSP) to achieve
outstanding performance. The DSP handles telecommunications, speech, and audio
functions, allowing the 68040 processor to handle other tasks, thereby
increasing the total system performance.
The power and built-in features of the Macintosh Centris 660av let you take
full advantage of exciting new audio-visual technologies. For example, with its
built-in GeoPort telecommunications architecture, the Macintosh Centris 660av
can connect with telephone systems, so you can use your computer as a
tele-phone, an answering machine, a fax machine, and an electronic mail
station. Its video capabilities let you view or capture video from a VCR, laser
disc, or camcorder in a window. You can also connect directly to a TV to show
your presentations or to a VCR to make videotapes.
Using PlainTalk speech technology from Apple, the Macintosh Centris 660av can
respond to your voice commands. And it generates CD-quality stereo sound, so
all your audio applications sound great.
In short, the Macintosh Centris 660av can serve as your personal communications
center. Whether you're in the office or on the go, you can use it to work more
efficiently and effectively than ever.
