GENLOCK/FRAMELOCK AND POWERWALL CAPABILITIES
Designed For Full-Scale Models, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G and NVIDIA
Quadro FX 3000 By PNY Deliver Advanced Features for High-Resolution
Visualization
PARSIPPANY, NJ - (July 22, 2003) PNY Technologies=AE announces the
availability of the Quadro FX 3000 series, featuring one of the
highest performing graphics memory available in professional
workstation graphics boards. Debuting at Siggraph 2003 (Booth 2522),
the NVIDIA Quadro=AE FX 3000 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G by PNY improve
overall performance with 27.2 GB/sec memory bandwidth and powerwall
capabilities. For the highest visual resolutions, the NVIDIA Quadro
FX 3000G offers the benefits of genlock and framelock.
"Availability of the Quadro FX 3000 series is testimony that PNY
consistently supplies the most sophisticated workstation graphics
hardware," said Tony Gomez, vice president of sales and marketing for
PNY. "The new boards address multiple advanced visualization
markets, including automobile manufacturing, radiology, volumetric
medical imaging, satellite imaging, and oil & gas exploration. The
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G by PNY is perfect for collaborative
engineering and design reviews, where an entire engineering team can
now create, view and solve problems in real time. And for the
professional video market, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G represents a
breakthrough for video post-production and on-air broadcast," he
added.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G from PNY is the first graphics board from
PNY to offer both framelock and genlock functionality. Framelock
links multiple systems in order to synchronize video across multiple
displays and projectors, while genlock synchronizes graphics with
other media streams such as audio and video for compositing and
editing. These features are unique to the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G.
Both the Quadro FX 3000 and the Quadro FX 3000G offer the additional
ability to drive a single system dual-channel powerwall, which allows
any application to be projected from a single system onto a large
projected display with edge blending to achieve uniform luminosity.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 and Quadro FX 3000G series by PNY include:
- The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 by PNY: Equipped with 256MB of
high-speed memory and NVIDIA's patented single-system powerwall
technology, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 enables texture heavy models to
be displayed in the highest resolutions with scene anti-aliasing. The
board comes standard with Dual DVI (1 Dual Link TMDS Display) and a
workstation stereo connector. MSRP $2,295
- The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G by PNY: The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G
delivers the full capabilities of the Quadro FX 3000. In addition
the board's exclusive genlock feature synchronizes standard graphics
with standard video formats and house-sync signals for video
post-processing and editing. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G also
synchronizes the output of multiple systems for clustered
applications. It comes standard with Dual DVI (1 Dual Link TMDS
Display), BNC (Genlock), two RJ45 (Framelock) and a workstation
stereo connector. MSRP $2,995
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 series will be available exclusively from
PNY to system integrators, distributors and value-added resellers
throughout North America and Europe.

efficiency, and it includes an architecture that increases
performance by 20 percent over previous generation of entry-level
Quadro4 workstation products. The boards feature full 128-bit IEEE
floating-point precision that allows for a higher level of accuracy
and the ultimate visual quality. Advanced Cg programmability
empowers a new class of special effects for OpenGL=AE and DirectX=AE
applications for real-time rendering. Also, the new NVIDIA Quadro FX
3000 by PNY series is certified and supported by the most popular CAD
and DCC applications.
