MatScreen C110/128
Colour - Large Screen Systems
The C110/128 graphic board is designed for those who desire or require
the utmost in performance. One of the features of this series is the
VRAM based design necessary for the rapid image construction. This
advanced approach was necessary since conventional DRAM controllers
could not hope to cope acceptably with the arising flood of pixels. The
board excels in the market furthermore because of its unequalled
flexibility and performance.
* This series is suitable for all Mega ST and TT computers. Controllers
will be offered with ST-Bus or VME-Bus for the different bus systems.
* What are the differences between C110 and C128? Solely the clock
frequency of 11OMHz or 125MHz. It is noteworthy however that colour
monitors with a bandwidth of 125MHz are very expensive. For this
reason the C128 is provisionally recommended only for gray-scale
systems with an excellent EIZO monitor.
* The number of colours able to be displayed and the number of gray-
scales are equivalent. Gray-scale monitors compare very favorably in
price to corresponding colour monitors.
* All systems can also work in monochrome mode. This is particularly
important because programs which may not yet be suited to colour can
be used with the new hardware.
* The controller is available with 1MByte or 2MByte of memory. The
resulting differences in technical data can be seen in the table.
* The systems are offered complete with the matching monitor. When
purchasing a controller alone it is important to consider the
compatibility of the monitor. A utility to adjust the controller's
monitor parameters is provided.
* The full performance of the system emerges once a display of 1280 x
960 for the 20" colour or gray-scale monitor is reached. A less
expensive possibility is 1024 x 768 and a 16" monitor.
* The fast Intel 82786 graphics processor optimally employed by the GEM-
VDI driver refutes the common argument about loss of speed with GEM
programs. The graphic processor makes functions possible like h/w
windowing, zooming and overlaying. A blitter and TOS version of at
least 1.4 are required.
* The system leaves the free choice of resolutions and number of colors/
gray-scales within its limits.
* The pixel frequency Is variable within broad bounds (16 to 125MHz)
* 256 colours are available from a palette of 16 million.
* Available optionally with the floating-point Coprocessor MC68881,
16MHz.
* A True Colour (TC) option conjures one of 16 million colours for each
pixel on the screen with a resolution of 682 x 1024, 66Hz.
* An exciting supplement to the TC Option is the integrated real-time
digitizer for video and genlock applications with 16 million colours.
* Interfaces for Modula-2, GFA-BASIC, C and Assembler. A development
packet which gives an insight to the technical details.
