Dubner Computer Systems, Inc.

SIGGRAPH 1990

Dubner Computer Systems demonstrates its TURBO full-color paint system, available in NTSC, Dl and D2 format. Comprehensive paint software includes anti-aliased brushes, text generation, image effects, color correction, 2D animation in 3D space, and interface to Abekas A-62, SONY Dl and D2 tape machines. The featured ImagePaint software option automatically renders images into selected classical styles. Other options include Presentation Graphics for creating business data displays and additional font sets.

SIGGRAPH 1989

Dubner is demonstrating its interactive 3D modeling, rendering, and animation system, the Graphics Factory, including the GF-30 Character Generator and the GF-40 Paint System. All in one system, this can provide animation playback in real-time or external frame-by-frame. The GF-50 adds a special function keyboard and 300 Mbyte fixed disk.

SIGGRAPH 1988

Dubner’s integrated product line is directed toward the digital domain. Graphics Factory features two 4:2:2 display channels for multi-user character generation, paint, animation and still/ store. TURBO, a digital composite full-color paint system features Presentation Graphics software and animation. All graphics on display are fully antialiased to meet the most demanding production requirements.

SIGGRAPH 1987

Dubner will exhibit its full-color, NTSC TURBO Paint System. Featuring all brushes and effects of a top-of-the-line video painting system, the TURBO adds high speed processing, expanded memory, animation software, anti-aliased fonts, 4-way color ramps, color correction and motion suppression. The system includes 20 MByte disk drive, sync generator and pressure sensitive stylus. Optional external disk storage devices are available.

SIGGRAPH 1986

Dubner Computer Systems is exhibiting their 20K real-time character generator featuring 16 million colors, linear keying, anti-aliased fonts, and multiple effects including playback capability of advanced CBG or TEXTA animations and graphics. The newest family member on display is the Dubner Painter/DPS-1, a true full-color NTSC video frame grabber/painting system.

SIGGRAPH 1985

Dubner Computer Systems manufactures a complete line of Video Graphics Systems for professional and broadcast television. At SIGGRAPH ’85, Dubner will be exhibiting the CBG-2, a graphics and animation system including a character generator, a paint system, a 3-D modeling program and real-time digital animation playback from disk; and the VPS-1, a full-color video paint system based on a 4-field frame store.

SIGGRAPH 1984

Dubner Computer will be exhibiting an upgraded version of the CBG-2 Video Graphics Generator. The CBG-2 is a multi-purpose computer graphics and animation system, combining a character generator, a “paint” system, and a 3-D solid modeling system. Animation sequences are recorded frame by frame on a high-speed disk, and played back in real time at speeds up to 60 fields/ second. New features for this year include hardware anti-aliasing, and texture mapping software.

SIGGRAPH 1983

The Dubner CBG-2 produces broadcast quality color images and animation sequences. The CBG includes a full function character generator with many advanced features including diagonal typing, and infinite edge and shadow combinations. Images can be drawn directly on the screen using the digital paint system. Additionally, three-dimensional images with surfaces and hidden line removal can be created and rotated around any point in space. Once a sequence of images has been created and recorded on disk, they can be played back, in real-time, at speeds up to sixty fields per second. This true animation capability contributed to the CBG being presented with the 1982 Emmy Award for Outstanding Engineering Achievement.
