Tech Source, Inc.

SIGGRAPH 1996

Tech-Source Inc. is showing PCI and SBus graphics accelerators capable of resolutions up to 2048 x 2048. Options for overlay/underlay, flat panel output, double buffering and stereoscopic viewing are also available on various Tech-Source graphics accelerators.

SIGGRAPH 1995

Tech-Source Inc. is showing both color and greyscale SBus display controller boards and subsystems capable of resolutions from 640 x 480 up to 2048 x 2560. Options for color, overlay planes, flat- panel display, double buffering, and stereoscopic viewing are also available on various Tech-Source SBus products.

SIGGRAPH 1994

Tech-Source is showing its GXTRAstation, the fastest X terminal with an unmatched 4.54 Xmark performance rating, and the GXTRA/10 and GXTRA/2000 graphics/imaging accelerators, capable of driving high-resolution 2048 x 2048 monitors. GXTRA’s are ideal for OEM suppliers of ATC, ASW, and medical imaging applications requiring the power of a Sun.

SIGGRAPH 1993

The GXTRA helps eliminate network traffic and maintain system performance by adding extra X Window users to the workstation ratherthan the ethernet. The GXTRA card connects directly to the SPARCStation S-Bus providing a 20 MB/sec communications path; greatly increasing total system performance while maintaining 100 percent software compatibility with traditional SPARC software.

SIGGRAPH 1992

The GXTRA family of SBus graphics accelerators allow multiple users to share a single SPARCstation. The GXTRA supports resolutions from 1600 x 1280 down to 640 x 480; provides 2D acceleration exceeding Sun’s GX; and accelerates Sun’s XI1/NeWS, SunView, as well as MIT’s XI1R4/X11R5. The GXTRA drastically reduces the cost-per-seat by adding new users to existing SPARCstations.

SIGGRAPH 1991

Tech-Source is announcing the new high-resolution, high-performance GXTRA 1280 S-Bus color graphics subsystem, which supports its own display and keyboard. Tech-Source is also displaying the GDS3958DB+4 2048 x 2048-resolution color controller running Prior Data Sciences’ Intermaphics software on the Sony 2048 x 2048 color display.

SIGGRAPH 1990

Tech-Source manufactures high-performance, high-resolution VME graphics controllers designed to fit the requirements of several vertical markets. TechSource introduces the latest X Windows accelerator graphics controllers: Hammerhead, a 1280 x 1024 multiple display graphics controller, and GDS-3950, a 2048 x 2048 high-resolution graphics controller.

SIGGRAPH 1989

Tech-Source is exhibiting high-performance VME graphics controllers capable of supporting 4-32 planes with overlays (including configurations with multiple displayheads supported by the same controller), compatible with Sun 3/E, Sun 3/160, Sun 3/260, Sun 4/260, Motorola, Delta Series, Heurikon, AT&T, and other VME- compatible systems. Comprehensive software support for PHIGS, GKS, Pixrect, Suntools, DataViews, X-Windows, etc.

SIGGRAPH 1988

Tech-Source will exhibit high performance VME graphics controllers capable of supporting 4-32 planes with overlays, compatible with Sun 3/E, Sun 3/160, Sun 3/260, Sun 4/260, Motorola, Delta Series, Heurikon, AT&T and other VME compatible systems. Comprehensive software support for PHIGS, GKS, Pixrect, Suntools, etc.

SIGGRAPH 1987

Tech-Source introduces its Sun-compatible graphics drawing processor kit and will demonstrate its full line of VMEbus-based graphics controllers and high-resolution monitors. Ranging from the high performance (130,000 random vectors/second) GDS-3800 series to the GDS- 3600 series, Tech-Source controllers provide up to 24 planes/pixel of 1280×1024 resolution graphics.

SIGGRAPH 1986

Tech-Source introduces the CM-150, a 19″ 1280 x 1024 color graphics monitor operating at 110 Mhz video rate, featuring excellent performance in the smallest package available; and the GDS-3800, a modular, pixel addressable VMEbus based board set using bit slice technology to generate a 1280 x 1024 x 40 display capable of drawing 100,000 short random vectors/second.
