''It clearly shows that ATI is not just a high-end mobile graphics supplier, and that high performance graphics is becoming a user demand across all notebook segments.'' ATI's RAGE LT PRO provides a long list of industry firsts for mobile accelerators 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 to support multi-screen viewing, i.e. simultaneous outputs to TV, CRT and LCD.
