Genesis Chips Driving Bank Machine Displays; New ATMs `Banking' On Superior Image Quality
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 1999--Genesis Microchip (Nasdaq:GNSS) today announced AllBrite Technologies PanoBrite sunlight-viewable LCD display will utilize the Genesis gmZX1 video/graphic-processing chip. AllBrite's PanoBrite has been selected by Diebold, Incorporated as an option for all ix Series(R) automated teller machines (ATMs) requiring sunlight viewability.
The 12-inch flat-panel display will improve viewability and add impact to the advertising, promotional messages and other color graphics presented on Diebold ATMs.
"We're delighted Diebold has selected the PanoBrite display," said Lee Olesen, President of AllBrite Technologies, producers of powerful LCD monitor subsystems. "We are excited that Diebold will be fully utilizing the advantages of our large sunlight viewable displays throughout the world."
Each AllBrite system uses a Genesis gmZX1 video/graphic-processing integrated circuit (IC) to provide a number of key functions and produce outstanding image quality for LCD displays. The gmZX1 is also well suited for feature-rich projection systems, video workstations, home theater and large-screen TV gear, plus other high-end video systems -- equipment that requires graphics and video to look sharp without the visual artifacts that are produced by inferior processing technologies.
In last week's press release from Diebold, Robert J. Nemens, Diebold's Senior Marketing Manager, Worldwide Marketing said, "Banks, retailers and other ATM deployers increasingly use the graphics capability of their ATMs to build their brand or generate advertising revenues. Our large sunlight-viewable monitor will give ATM screen images more appeal, adding impact to advertising and promotional messages that will attract increased consumer attention. Customers will really appreciate the richer, more dramatic images and ease of use."
The new sunlight-viewable color monitor is available on all Diebold ix Series(R) ATMs that support a 15-inch monitor (which will accommodate a 12-inch display). The monitor is part of Diebold's full line of ATM monitor options to meet different customer needs. Diebold is featuring the sunlight-viewable monitor on the 1077ix drive-up cash dispenser at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX), Oct. 30-Nov. 3 in the Dubai World Trade Centre. ATMs featuring the new monitor as an option will be available in the first quarter of 2000.
The monitor is supplied by AllBrite Technologies, Inc. (www.allbritetech.com) of San Diego, Calif. AllBrite is a world leader in sunlight-viewable monitors and interactive flat panel workstations. The company also provides industrial displays for applications in mobile transportation, menu board and point of sale applications.
