– New AMD offering professional high-end graphics accelerators with Genlock for video camera single source applications and Framelock for multiple 3D displays –<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia<\/strong>\u00a0– July 30, 2009<\/strong>\u00a0 –\u00a0To meet the demanding synchronization needs of today\u2019s professionals,\u00a0 AMD<\/a> (NYSE: AMD) introduced the ATI FirePro\u2122 S400 Synchronization Module, providing framelock and genlock synchronization for demanding broadcast, video editing, visualization, simulation and rich display applications.<\/p>\n

\u2022Genlock enables video and graphics feeds from various devices \u2013 such as cameras, recorders, mixers, keyers and more \u2013 to \u201clock\u201d to an externally generated signal, helping avoid jumping, flicker or scan lines that commonly arise when switching video sources.<\/p>\n

\u2022The ATI FirePro S400 is a single card solution with a dedicated processor capable of supporting clock-accurate, simultaneous GPU synchronization that professional video, broadcast, simulation and rich display applications demand, perfect for displays used in broadcast applications, or non-linear editing suites.<\/p>\n

\u2022Framelock synchronizes display output and 3D rendering across multiple graphics cards resulting in a smooth output across multiple displays or video projectors to create a smooth virtual canvas.<\/p>\n

\u2022ATI FirePro S400 delivers framelock functionality by combining synchronized display output and simultaneous 3D buffer swapping, to help ensure GPUs in connected systems present their outputs in perfect lock-step.<\/p>\n

\u2022The new ATI FirePro Synchronization Module supports four professional graphics cards, features a modern Serial ATA power connector and allows ATI FirePro graphics accelerators to receive signals and synchronize to virtually any video input source, including PAL and NTSC standard definition video black burst, high definition TV tri-level, TTL and SDI sync.<\/p>\n

\u2022The upgradeable firmware of the ATI FirePro S400 module is designed to allow future updates to be deployed without requiring internal access to the host computer, saving time and effort by allowing updates to be deployed in the field.<\/p>\n

\u2022Compatible with ATI FirePro\u2122 V8750 3D graphics accelerators targeted at the high-end professional graphics market, and supporting existing software interfaces, the ATI FirePro S400 is a drop-in solution, fitting into standard PCI or PCIe slots and compatible with virtually any type of chassis or motherboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability
\n<\/strong>\u2022ATI FirePro S400 is currently available at the MSRP of US$799 and can be purchased from system integrators and channel partners worldwide.
\n\u2022ATI FirePro 3D workstation graphics accelerators and\u00a0 ATI FirePro S400 have been engineered to deliver innovation and reliability for a wide range of professional operating environments, including Windows\u00ae XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Linux. The unified driver, which supports all ATI FirePro workstation products, helps reduce the total cost of ownership by simplifying installation, deployment and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting Quotes
\n<\/strong><\/span>\u201cUntil now, synchronization modules available in the market only supported four graphics cards at a time, synchronized with a limited range of video outputs and were powered by older and increasingly outdated technology,\u201d said Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics.\u00a0 \u201cProfessionals need a module that can meet the high demands of current video and 3D applications with the flexibility to address new demands down the road, and the ATI FirePro S400 does just that at an affordable price.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers have demanding synchronized video and displays applications that require top notch operation today while being assured of a path of continued excellence for the future. The ATI FirePro S400 from AMD helps meet that need,\u201d said Bob Kuehne, CEO, Blue Newt Software. \u201cBlue Newt has worked with AMD from the early stages, and we have been delighted by the expertise and support from the AMD team in building this product.\u00a0 Our end-customers will appreciate the exceptional performance provided by the combination of the ATI FirePro S400 synchronization module and the ATI FirePro V8750 graphics accelerator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
