Supports Overscan resolutions. *All SUNRISE cards are equipped with 2MB fast 2 * 32-bit Video RAM. *Fast Dual-Port Video RAMs increase throughput and effectively minimize bus bandwith losses caused by conventional display update cycles. *Integrated GRAPHICS ACCELLERATOR for faster drawing operations. *No need to exchange or replace crystals and clocks. More than 70 frequencies ranging form 5 to 128 MHz are software-selectable. *A specially designed VIDEO-GUARD circuit protects all components against accidential damage or destruction. *Automatic configuration. Every card is equipped with non-volatile memory which can completely restore the last used configuration. This unique and batteryless solution features up to 1,000,000 programming cycles. *Every SUNRISE card can be expanded to function as a complete Desktop-Video station. The CyReL VidiMix Desktop Video Modules use the verstatile expansion port and the alpha channel of the SUNRISE boards thus allowing the generation of realtime Video effects. *SUNRISE cards achieve a high level of integration and reliability employing the latest processing and manufacturing technologies. Every production step is being followed by a number of inspections and quality control procedures. *Supports device sharing in multi-tasking environments. *Up to four CyReL 16-1280 cards can be installed in a single ATARI VME bus system. The CyReL SERENADE, SUNRISE and SKYLINE cards can be used in mixed combinations and support multi-level superimposed images. *Comfortable and user-friendly installation and operation. No need to change settings or switches once the card is installed. *Easy installation is being made possible by a number of versatile interactive installation programs and guides. *All SUNRISE boards work with single frequency monitors, VGA monitors or multi-sync monitors with 12", 14", 16", 17", 19", 20", 21" and 24 inch screens. *All colors can be selected from a palette of 16,777,216 shades. *Supports monochrome, four color, 16 color, 256 color/VGA and 24-bit true color modes without hardware changes, expansion or options. *High ergonomic refresh rates of up to 260 Hz (depends on monitor type used) increase the quality of the display and avoid eye-strain. *A very flexible access method supports changes in the hardware without the need to adapt or patch existing M16-1280 software and programs. *PAL and NTSC compatible signals can be generated. *Outputs video signals in either standard formats or professional formats for industrial or TV studio applications. Video output is CCIR and EIA343-A compatible. *Programmable true color GAMMA CORRECTION. *Interlace or non-interlace modes with internal or external synchronization for GENLOCK modes. *Hardware smooth-scrolling & panning allow virtual screen size management. *Flash-CLS for ultra fast frame buffer updates. *Optional High-speed LAN port. 10 Megabit/second or 20 Megabit/second transmission speeds can be selected by software.
