Features & Benefits

Features

Single Matrox RAD PCI (low profile) and Matrox RAD PCIe board powers up to two 3 MP digital or 2 MP analog

ExtendiGray© technology accurately converts color displays into grayscale, reducing color distraction during readings, and allows for concurrent execution of color and grayscale applications on a single grayscale desktop

Hardware Pivot provides smooth and accelerated image display

Pristine image quality at high bit-depths and flicker-free output

Capable of driving stretched or independent display modes

Enhanced features available through Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), enabling hardware-accelerated operations such as image cached window/levelling, zoom, rotate and display cloning

Bus performance optimized for fast window & level and cineloop applications

Hardware Cursor eliminates cursor flicker during cineloops

No tearing and flicker-free, optimized cineloop playback

1 Support can differ amongst OEM versions.
