APPIAN GRAPHICS JERONIMO PRO MULTI-MONITOR CARD TO SUPPORT 4 MONITORS WITH VIDEO FROM ONE PCI SLOT

Jeronimo Pro Now Available in 2- and 4-port Configurations

Redmond, Wash. - Appian Graphics, the leading supplier of multiple monitor display cards, today announced its high performance 2D/3D multi-monitor card, the Jeronimo Pro, is now available in a four-port configuration with optional video overlay capability and Appian TV Tuner support.

In addition to driving up to four monitors from a single PCI slot, the Jeronimo Pro 4-Port's optional TV Tuner support and real-time video overlay will appeal to financial traders who simultaneously view market changes, news feeds and stock analysis applications across multiple monitors. Others who will appreciate the new video features include computer aided design (CAD) users, multimedia developers and digital content creators whose professional productivity can be increased by expanding their desktop.

"With the Jeronimo Pro, users now have the option of extending their desktop across four monitors from one PCI slot - a true space saver," says Lisa Epstein, Appian's senior product manager. "In addition, the Pro 4-Port's video overlay capability and optional TV Tuner support is a breakthrough for those needing to view a large number of video and text files simultaneously."

Jeronimo Pro 4-Port key benefits include:

  • Increasing the users' level of productivity by expanding their desktop across four monitors with one graphics card.
  • Using only one PCI slot to support four monitors with incoming video, leaving other slots open to run additional expansion cards.
  • Displaying NTSC, PAL or SECAM video at 30 frames per second on one monitor or across multiple monitors.
  • Selecting and displaying broadcast TV channels with stereo sound via the optional Appian TV Tuner.
  • Jeronimo Pro is bundled with HydraVision, Appian's patented display management software that allows users to get the most out of their multiple monitor configuration.

The Jeronimo Pro 4-Port is powered by four Permedia 2 chips from 3Dlabs and on-board Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM). The Jeronimo Pro 4-Port will run under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 and supports OpenGL, DirectX and Video for Windows.

The Pro 4-port is available in the following configurations:

  • 4 MB per channel without video
  • 4 MB per channel with video
  • 8 MB per channel with video

The optional Appian TV Tuner is available for 4-port video configuration and is priced separately.

The Jeronimo Pro 4-Port is PCI 2.1 compliant, and supports 1600 x 1200 resolution at 16 and 8bpp with a refresh rate of 85 Hz under Windows 95/98/NT, and 1280 x 1024 x 32bpp at 85Hz under NT only.
