Vectrix Corporation

SIGGRAPH 1987

Vectrix, manufacturer of high-resolution graphics controllers for the PC computer family, will announce and demonstrate PRESTO. PRESTO is a single board 34010-based controller which retains the 10 million pixel/second line drawing speed of Vectrix’s PEPE product.

SIGGRAPH 1986

Vectrix manufactures high resolution graphics boards for the IBM PC XT, IBM PC AT and compatible computers. Our PEPE graphics boardset provides resolution of 1024 x 1024 viewable on a 19″ 60Hz non-interlaced monitor. With line drawing speeds in excess of 20 million pixels per second, it is especially well-suited to CAD applications and is supported by numerous third-party CAD software packages.

SIGGRAPH 1985

Vectrix manufactures sophisticated, high resolution plug-in graphics cards for IBM personal computers and standalone graphics processors for any host computer. Turnkey CADAM Display and graphics arts systems are also available. Extremely fast (60 nanoseconds per pixel), 1024 x 1024, 60 Hz non-interlaced plug-in card being announced at SIGGRAPH.

SIGGRAPH 1984

Vectrix Corporation manufactures high resolution, low cost graphics systems. Products include the VX128A and the VX384A processors, which interface to virtually any host computer; and the new Midas Color Card, a 2-board set which fits directly into the IBM-XT or PC to create a professional quality color graphics workstation. The Midas offers resolution of 672 x 480 and a basic color palette of 4,096 wth 512 concurrently viewable colors. It features hardware zoom, pan and scroll, light pen support, and an MS-DOS 2.0 drver

SIGGRAPH 1983

Vectrix Corporation manufactures a line of color graphics machines which features the VX384. Designed to be used as a co-processor with a host computer, the VX384 interfaces via either an RS-232 serial or a Centronics parallel port. It offers: resolution of 672H X 480V; 512 colors per pixel out of 16.8 million; 384K graphics RAM; 9-bit planes. Internal processors are Intel 8088 (5MHz) and NEC 7220. Pixel drawing time is 1600 nanoseconds. Software features encoded on PROM include point, line, arc and polygon primatives in 2-D and 3-D: solid polygons with pattern fill; color lookup table commands; character generation with slant, magnification, and spacing parameters; bidirectional DMA access to the graphics RAM; and 3-D commands for rotation, scaling, trans
