"Diamond Multimedia Inc and Cirrus Logic Inc are releasing new MPEG offerings that will give users high-speed, low-cost access to video and graphics applications. Diamond is delivering its Stealth64 2001 graphics accelerator, which provides resolution of 1,600-by-1,200 pixels at 16.7 million colors. The card complements Diamond's Stealth64 200 graphics card and costs $189 for a PCI-based version with 2MB of DRAM. Diamond is also shipping its Stealth64 Video 2001 add-in card, which combines 64-bit graphics, DRAM and full-screen digital video playback support. It is priced at $259 for 2MB of DRAM and $199 for 1MB of DRAM. Cirrus is releasing its $32 CL-GD5520 decoder, which offers MPEG-1 compatibility, PCI-bus mastering and audio-video synchronization. Cirrus is shipping the chip in Aug 1995, and it should start appearing in motherboards and add-in cards in late fall 1995.
Diamond Multimedia Inc. and Cirrus Logic Inc. are readying new products aimed at providing desktop PC users with low-priced, high-speed access to graphics and video applications.
Diamond will seek to bring down the cost of 64-bit graphics this week with the release of the Stealth64 2001 graphics card, as well as a combination graphics/video board that supports full-screen digital video playback.
On the chip side, Cirrus will roll out next week its latest MPEG offering: a single-chip, low-cost decoder that works with the company's graphics and audio controllers.
Although Diamond and Cirrus are counting on PC-based training and video kiosks to propel MPEG in a corporate environment, users said there are still numerous roadblocks. "MPEG can't be delivered in its current form because of network and desktop storage limitations and bandwidth issues," said George Pace, information systems manager at Prudential Securities Inc., in Newark, N.J.
Diamond's Stealth64 2001 uses a new graphics controller from Ark Logic Inc. and provides 1,600-by-1,200-pixel resolution at 16.7 million colors, said officials of the San Jose, Calif., company. A PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) version with 2M bytes of DRAM (dynamic RAM) is priced at $189. The card complements Diamond's $289 64-bit Stealth64 200 graphics accelerator that uses an S3 Inc. chip.
Adding to the graphics/video combination trend, the company will also release this week the Stealth64 Video 2001, an add-in card that combines DRAM, 64-bit graphics, and full-screen digital video playback. A 1M-byte DRAM version is $199, and a 2M-byte version is $259, officials said.
A $99 MPEG daughtercard runs 30-frame-per-second video. Driver support for the module includes Intel Corp.'s Indeo, Cinepak, and software MPEG-1.
Cirrus' CL-GD5520, which provides MPEG-1 compatibility, audio- video synchronization, and PCI-bus mastering, will be made available to OEMs for either motherboard implementations or as a piece of an integrated graphics/video card using the 64-bit CL-GD5440 Alpine chip, according to officials of the Fremont, Calif., company.
The $32 chip will begin appearing in add-in cards and motherboards later this fall from current Cirrus customers. Add-in cards using the chip are expected to be priced around $200."
