ATI Player(TM) Software Unleashes Powerful Hardware Capabilities,
Including High Quality Video Capture and Video Playback Applications
TORONTO, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Technologies Inc. (Toronto: ATY) today announced RAGE Theater(TM), the computer industry's first integrated chip with combined video decode and encode, a single chip that provides OEMs with the highest quality and most cost-effective video-in and TV-out display solution in the industry for set top boxes and PC products.
RAGE Theater quality is superior to all other competing PC solutions, for both motherboard and add-in card implementations. The video decoder produces crystal clear digital video images for computer use from analog video sources, such as cameras, VCRs and tuners. The video encoder provides the highest quality flicker-free images on the TV, images as good as, or better than an expensive VGA to TV converter box and raising analog TV to near-digital quality.
The chip's integration, high quality, cost-effectiveness and small size makes it ideal for entertainment and corporate PCs, set top boxes, home theater systems and a host of coming PC/telecom convergence products. It supports all popular operating systems, including Windows CE for the consumer appliance market.
