Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS o Increases user performance while reducing rework o Improves availability and access to data o Enables personal computing o Saves personnel training time through reduction in complexity o Supports customer business objectives o Improves productivity o Provides capability to manage rate of change o Supports application development DESCRIPTION USER PRODUCTIVITY The M-Motion Video Adapter/A is a full-frame buffer that adds audio and video to the Personal System/2 system units with Micro Channel architecture. This adapter is capable of receiving Composite Video (3 PAL (R)/NTSC or 2 SVHS) and produces a corresponding video CS output signal to synchronize the input video sources. The CS output is fully compatible with CCIR standards at line periods of 64Us and 63.555Us. The CS output voltage is compatible with TTL levels, terminated into 75 Ohms. Features and characteristics include: o Full control of digitized video via M-Control Program/2 software. The digitized video images can be sized, captured, stored, and recalled from the PS/2 workstation. o Full control of output video (contrast, hue, brightness) via software. Output video and the VGA text and graphics are interchangeable and can be overlaid via software. o Video output fully compatible with PS2 VGA display connection and fully compatible with all high resolution VGA modes (640 and 720 horizontal pels). Limited support is provided with low resolution modes (320 or 360 horizontal pels). This adapter requires the Micro Channel expansion card slot with video extension. o The capability to produce stereo audio output at high quality from two stereo analog audio programmable inputs. The input line audio can also be digitized and played back at FM quality levels. Full control of audio output (volume, treble, bass, and balance) is available via software. SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT The enhanced M-Motion Video Adapter/A will save personnel training time by reducing complexity. It will also improve operational productivity by improving migration efforts, auditability, security, and administrative activity. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS This product is designed to support the customer's business objectives by enhancing productivity, improving systems integration, and improving the decision-making process.
