E-A310004 Curtiss-Wright Atlas MDR-20 DVI/Video Breakout Cable

The Curtiss-Wright AtlasPMC/xx Series High Performance Dual VGA/DVI Graphics Controllers fulfill the very highest performance requirements for a complete graphics and video acquisition solution commonly found in Solaris, VxWorks, LynxOS, Linux, and Windows. It is targeted at applications requiring high-speed presentation of synthetic graphics where the output require video capture overlay. It can output two independent digital or analog displays and accept one video input whose source is NTSC, PAL, DVI, or RGBHV.

Using the industry leading ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Visual Processing Unit (VPU), the AtlasPMC supports 2D, 3D, OpenGL, and DirectX compatible displays with screen resolutions up to 1920x1200 with up to 16.7 million colors (24 bpp). The M9 features 64 MB of integrated memory, reduced-power optimizations, video overlay, integrated video input and output, advanced de-interlacing hardware, and quad-pipeline 2D/3D/Video acceleration. ATI has committed to provide the M9 for an extended period of time to satisfy product life-cycle requirements typical of the embedded computing market.

Monitor support includes analog VGA and Sync-On-Green (SOG), video (NTSC/PAL), and digital (DVI). A combination VGA/FCode BIOS enables the AtlasPMC to operate in virtually any x86 or SPARC system using VGA, SOG, or DVI displays.

Other features of the AtlasPMC include optional video input, USB, and audio subsystems. Included are a Conexant Bt878A video digitizer with external Analog Devices AD9882 RGB/DVI digitizer for capturing up to 1024x768x16bpp (preliminary), an NEC uPD720101 USB 2.0 host controller, and Micronas UAC 3555B USB Stereo Audio CODEC.

A USB port is dedicated to providing a low overhead, audio solution demonstrated to work on Windows and Solaris. The UAC 3555B supports mono MIC or stereo line-in and stereo line-out, 5-band equalizer, volume, balance, and tone controls.

A unique asynchronous PCI bridge design supports all PMC host-side interfaces from 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI to 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X. The local bus runs at 32-bit, 66 MHz.
