ATI's combination of graphics, video and DVD brings leading multimedia
performance to the computing, Internet and entertainment applications of
the all-digital Destination(R) XTV
TORONTO, Dec. 7 /CNW-PRN/ - ATI Technologies Inc. (TSE:ATY; NASDAQ:ATYTF) today announced that Gateway
has selected ATI's All-in-Wonder(TM) Pro and also its hardware DVD solution for the Destination(R) XTV Digital Media
Computer.
An industry first, the Gateway Destination XTV combines computing power with the information resources of the Internet and
entertainment possibilities of multimedia - including Digital TV. ATI's technological leadership in the fields of multimedia and
new applications such as DVD provide the Destination XTV system with increased obsolescence protection.
''We wanted to ensure that Destination XTV owners get the best graphics, video and TV-tuning available today, and in the
future,'' said Mike Ritter, senior marketing manager, Destination, Gateway. ''With ATI leading the industry in all these areas,
the selection of the All-in-Wonder Pro was the right decision for our clients.''
''Gateway's Destination XTV is the system with everything, and our All-in-Wonder Pro is the all-in-one graphics, video and
TV tuner,'' said Ed Grondahl, vice president, product marketing, ATI Technologies Inc. ''Together, they're a perfect fit.''
ATI and the multimedia digital future
ATI is playing a key role making the all-digital convergence future a reality. ATI is propelling mainstream market emergence of
digital devices and applications by already marketing convergence-ready products like the All-in-Wonder Pro. In addition to
anticipating future market trends and technological developments, ATI works closely with Microsoft to ensure ATI products
are Microsoft-qualified and optimized for Microsoft applications.
ATI's All-In-Wonder Pro does it all in one card,
for explosive multimedia on the PC
The All-In-Wonder Pro add-in board is the multimedia field's most
comprehensive solution for industry-leading 2D, arcade-quality 3D
acceleration, video capture, NTSC output-to-TV and TV tuner functions that
allow interaction with, and not mere watching, of TV content.
The All-In-Wonder Pro is a no-compromise 2D and 3D accelerator that
delivers arcade-level performance ideal for powerful game play, 3D Web
browsing and multimedia presentation creation. With ATI's ImpacTV(TM)2
enhanced TV-out video encoder chip, the All-In-Wonder Pro is the most
cost-effective route on the market today to high-quality and wide screen home
theater. ImpacTV2 completely eliminates image-flicker and the illegible text
display, and provides both S-video and composite connections for the highest
quality. [Strange.... sounds like CUBE??, but it is not integrated into the decoder, and it is probably just a feature that is in demand.]
