- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
-
-
- Radius Announces First 24-Bit, Accelerated Display Interface for New Apple
- Macintosh Centris™ Computer
-
- First fully featured 7-inch graphics display interface works with
- all NuBus Macintosh Computers
-
- SAN JOSE, Calif., February 9, 1993 -- Radius Inc. (NASDAQ-RDUS) today
- announced two new PrecisionColor interfaces for Apple Macintosh® computers that
- provide fully featured graphics display functions in a 7-inch NuBus-sized card.
- The new cards provide full 24-bit video and graphics acceleration at a variety
- of resolutions and are the first to conform to the 7-inch NuBus form factor
- first used on the Macintosh Centris 610 computer system from Apple Computer,
- Inc..
- This new space saving form factor requires a smaller NuBus card than any of
- those currently on the marketplace. Radius' new PrecisionColor interfaces also
- use less power and produce less heat than conventional cards.
- "Apple continues to innovate computer platforms with the introduction of new
- machines including the Macintosh Centris 610, which requires a smaller NuBus
- card size," said Mary Coleman, Radius vice president of marketing. "Our
- advanced ASIC design has allowed us to pack all the performance of an
- accelerated 24-bit video card into this new form factor, delivering
- photrealistic display capabilities to users of both current and future Apple
- systems. These new interfaces save space within the computer, require less
- power for operation and run cooler than any other card available with their
- capabilities."
- Specific features of the new cards include:
-
- • 24-Bit Color Displays up to 16.7 million colors on-screen for stunning
- photo-realistic images.
-
- • Complete NuBus Compatibility The PrecisionColor boards work with all Appl
- Macintosh, Macintosh Quadra™, and Macintosh Centris™ computers with NuBus
- expansion capability.
-
- • Instant Resolution Changing "On-the-fly" resolution switching allows
- 640x480 detail or 1152x870, 2-page viewing with a single mouse click.
-
- • Universally Compatible Support for virtually any 14-inch to 21-inch monit
- at resolutions ranging from 640x480 to 1152x870 with minimum screen flicker
- and highest quality image.
-
- • On-Board Acceleration Custom ASIC circuitry accelerates commonly used
- QuickDraw™ functions to enhance screen performance many times over
- non-accelerated graphics boards.
-
- • System Performance Acceleration Provides major system performance
- improvements when used in tandem with the Radius Rocket accelerator by
- providing display-list processing, CPU and graphics acceleration, as well as
- QuickDraw acceleration.
-
- Price and Availability
- The PrecisionColor interface cards are scheduled to be available starting
- March 1, 1993. The PrecisionColor 24X/1152, which provides display resolutions
- of up to 1152x870 carries a U.S. list price of $1849, while the PrecisionColor
- 24XK/1024, supporting resolutions of up to 1024x768, has a U.S. list price of
- $999.
