New ATI Wonder Chip Boasts TV On A PC (Cube partner) 15 Mar 1999, 4:40 PM CST By Matt Hines, Newsbytes. TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, Chip maker ATI Technologies Inc. [NASDAQ:ATYT] is showing off its latest product which the firm claims will give personal computer (PC) users the ability to use their machines like a traditional television set and VCR mix. If delivered as promised, the All-In-Wonder 128 technology could allow PC owners to transform their computers into multimedia machines offering digital picture and sound. The graphics card is powered by ATI's RAGE 128 GL graphics accelerator which is also used in Apple Computer Inc.'s latest Power Mac desktop computers. The multimedia board also offers 32 megabytes (MB) of memory, an "intelligent" TV tuner that features instant replay and enables Web TV for Windows, and digital video cassette recorder (VCR) capabilities using ATI's VCR 2.0 real-time software video compression tool. The technology also offers improved 3D graphics, video output, Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) video playback, as well as still and motion video capture. The product installs in one of a computer's AGP or PCI slots. The technology is slated to begin shipping later this month and vendors have already begun lining up to work with ATI around the product. Panasonic Industrial Co. announced today that its latest DVD-RAM drive is fully compatible with the All-In-Wonder. Perhaps the most striking feature of the board is that it has a built-in TV tuner which when attached to a cable television outlet shifts a computer display into a TV set. Other features include instant replay functions and video editing with the PC's hard disk acting as a digital VCR.
