PDI Announces High-Performance Image Capture for PCI-based Power Macintosh

June 19, 1995 -- Redmond, Wash. -- Precision Digital Images today announced
IMAXX/PCI/MacOS, a high-performance video capture product for the
PCI-based Power Macintosh also announced today. The IMAXX family of
products, currently available on the NuBus and PCI (Peripheral Component
Interface) bus for DOS and Windows, is now available for the Power
Macintosh platform using the PCI bus interface. The highly successful
IMAXX product line, including analog, digital, monochrome, and color
capture, is designed for high performance medical, scientific, and
industrial applications.

IMAXX/PCI harnesses the fast clock speed and wide data path of the PCI bus,
allowing rapid throughput of image data. Using PDI's PCI interface and bus
mastering technology, IMAXX sends image data across the bus at rates of up
to 60 MB per second. This transfer speed allows high resolution, 30
frames-per-second video to be transferred across the bus in real-time. The
fast capture and bus transfer rates make IMAXX the fastest PCI video
capture product on the market.

"Real-time, high-resolution, high-fidelity image capture is critical to
professional imaging applications," said Wayne Smith, CEO of PDI. "With a
complete family of capture products for the PCI running on Power Macs, PDI
customers can now reach levels of performance previously unattainable."

IMAXX/PCI for the PCI-based Power Macintosh also retains the competitive
features that have made IMAXX products so successful. IMAXX can capture
from standard or non-standard video sources at rates of up to 130 MHz for
analog and 20 MHz for digital, while retaining the highest fidelity
available with pixel jitter of +/-2 nanoseconds.

PDI manufactures and markets advanced imaging products for professional and
commercial applications. PDI is a member of the PCI Special Interest Group
and its products are fully PCI compliant, providing plug and play
capabilities, linear burst support and sustained transfer rates at 33 MHz
for 60 MB per second transfer. Product lines include image capture and
image processing boards for both PC and Macintosh platforms. PDI is
located at 6742 185th Avenue NE, Suite 100, Redmond, WA, 98052. Telephone
