The highly integrated design of the RAGE LT PRO saves both
the cost of using separate components, as well as board space. The first mobile accelerator to integrate the Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) transmitter chip for LCD panels, the RAGE LT PRO also uses ATI's advanced power management system, a block-by-block power control, which results in lower power dissipation, helping to achieve longer battery life. The RAGE LT PRO also offers Filtered Ratiometric Expansion,'' which automatically adjusts images to full-screen size. ATI's industry-leading TV-out technology, ImpacTV2+(TM), is integrated with the RAGE LT PRO chip to support multi-screen viewing, i.e. simultaneous outputs to TV, CRT and LCD.
