SIGGRAPH 1996

Parallax invites software developers to test-drive our cross-platform development tools and high-performance digital video products, including new options for Windows NT users. Applications include frame-accurate video capture, Internet video distribution, animation, videoconferencing, and multiple simultaneous displays at 640×480 resolution, with 24-bit true- color and optional JPEG codec.

SIGGRAPH 1995

XVideo and PowerVideo cards bring high- performance video into your computer for video capture and cuts-only editing with hardware compression and decompression. Other applications include video-conferencing, TV-in-a-window and video distribution. Parallax Graphics video is full-motion, 640×480 resolution, and 24-bit truecolor for exceptional detail and image quality. Development tools are available.

SIGGRAPH 1994

Parallax Graphics’ PowerVideo and XVideo cards bring high-performance video to desktop applications such as video-conferencing, authoring, training, kiosks, TV-in-a-window, and video distribution. Available on Sun and HP workstations, Parallax Graphics video is fullmotion, full-resolution, and 24-bit color for exceptional detail and image quality to support effective communication.

SIGGRAPH 1993

Parallax is the high-end provider of real-time video engines for Sun workstations. Powerful hardware (JPEG compression, 2nd video-in, video-out) and software (OW3 and X11R5 support, developers’ toolkit) enables third-party software applications such as desktop video teleconferencing and training. Parallax introduces an innovative board that reduces slot requirements and auto-adjusts display rate.

SIGGRAPH 1992

XVideo is a videographics card for the SPARCStation, which can display two simultaneous full-motion video images in windows, and compress/decompress motion video to/from hard disk, using JPEG image compression techniques for networked digital video. XVideo can create video output for recording to VCR. Applications include training, teleconferencing, image databases, publishing, work group computing.

SIGGRAPH 1991

Parallax introduces XVideo, a family of motion video input and output SBus products for multimedia applications under OpenWindows. XVideo supports two simultaneous, real-time video windows. Users can also record motion video directly from windows on the SPARCstation screen to a VCR. XVideo is a 24-bit frame buffer with hardware acceleration features for 8-bit pseudocolor graphics and other imaging and text operations.

SIGGRAPH 1990

Parallax’s boards and software integrate NTSC/PAL video and workstation displays. Viper combines video input and high-resolution display for VMEbus and A Tbus systems. Video View augments Sun workstation graphics with video input and output. The X Window System is available for Viper; both Sun View and Open Windows are available for Video View.

SIGGRAPH 1989

Parallax Graphics introduces the VIPER Series video graphics controllers on VME, AT, and Q-bus. VIPER controllers are designed for OEMs and systems integrators developing training, simulation, inspection, cartographic, and other applications requiring real-time video and high-resolution graphics.

SIGGRAPH 1988

Parallax Graphics features graphics controllers, videographics controllers and full video in a window support with X-Windows and PNeWS, for IBM AT/RTs and compatibles, SUN Microsystems and other VME compatible systems and DEC/ Q-bus compatible systems.

SIGGRAPH 1987

Parallax Graphics features high-performance graphics and videographics controllers for Q-bus, VME bus, PC/AT and PC/RT busses and Multibus I. New products to be shown include the 1280 Series for VME bus, plus VT220 terminal emulation, an extended instruction set and X- window support for 1280 Series products.

SIGGRAPH 1986

Parallax Graphics manufactures graphic and videographic display controllers. Parallax will demonstrate the 1280 Series videographic processor (Q-bus and ATbus versions). Display format is 1280 x 1024, 60Hz non-interlaced, with real-time digitized NTSC video and full graphics functions.

SIGGRAPH 1985

Parallax Graphics offers OEMs and system integrators three series of high-speed color graphics and video/graphics controllers: the 600, 1000 and 1200 Series.
