Very Significant New Product Announcements, Please See Below

Official Press Release and announcement of Condor 2100x XMC Graphics/Windowing processor

- High performance graphics & video windowing processor
- See below for more detailed information, datasheet, and/or click here for press release
- Adds VX-Works and other RTOS support
- Air or Conduction Cooled versions
- Dual Video input window processing in XMC form factor
- GPGPU computing
- 10 plus years or more of support/production commitments from ATI and Tech Source

GPGPU Computing (take advantage of 320 shader processors on the ATI E4690 processor for DSP like computing)

- GPGPU is emerging technology and ours is based on the Open-CL open standard
- Excellent white paper describing GPGPU computing
- Equally excellent PDF presentation explaining benefits of ATI approach to GPGPU computing (courtesy of David Parkerson @ Altis Technology)

Re/Vue real time DVI screen recorder

- Significant firmware update that allows for recording of video (such as radar) along with graphics
- See below for details, significant for recording in ATC, C3, Training/Simulation and related applications

H.264 Video Compression, Recording XMC board

- Tech Source is seriously considering a new product based around the standard for H.264 video compression
- Condor VC100x Preliminary Datasheet
- If you have requirements it is NOT to late to influence features and the design
- We would value any input and expression of interest or requirements for such a card.
- We envision applications such as downlink/compress sensor data from UAV's, or as the basis of a SBC based video recorder which we are also planning.
- Any and all feedback encouraged, please to me Bill Fox

All the best,

Bill Fox

Re/Vue DVI Screen Recorder Update

Re/Vue is a video recording product that fulfills the specific capture, compression, and data archive requirements found in ATC, training and simulation, and command and control environments. Re/Vue

Re/Vue consists of video and audio recording hardware,
supporting driver, and control software. It delivers lossless recording and compression with remote and local data storage. Re/Vue integrates with an existing workstation and monitor and records from any DVI (digital) source at resolutions up to 2048 × 2048. It also has a web-based control interface to manage and control single or multiple Re/Vue systems through a password-
protected web-based browser.

New Feature The Re/Vue is a lossless video recorder, however, it can be switched to a lossy recording mode to help alleviate problems related to data overflow when there is a need to record more complex data types such as video in a small window. This lossy feature is known as Temporal Difference. By default, the Re/Vue is set to record any frame to frame difference in pixel value as a changed pixel. However, you can set the threshold to ignore small changes with any color channel if your application does not require a truly lossless solution.

Rackmount or Desktop as pictured above.
