CyReL SUNRISE M16-1280

The High-Resolution True-Color Graphics Card for the ATARI TT030 and MEGA STE

Programmable Color Video Timing Generator for all resolutions from 320 x 200 to 3400 horizontal and 2048 vertical. Supports Overscan resolutions.
All SUNRISE cards are equipped with 2MB Video RAM.
Fast Dual-Port Video RAMs increase throughput and effectively minimize bus bandwith losses caused by conventional display update cycles.
Integrated GRAPHICS ACCELLERATOR for faster drawing operations.
No need to exchange or replace crystals or oscillators. More than 70 frequencies ranging form 5 to 120 MHz are software-selectable.
A specially designed VIDEO-GUARD circuit protects all components against accidential damage or destruction.
Automatic configuration. Every card is equipped with non-volatile memory which can completely restore the last used configuration. This unique and batteryless solution features up to one million programming cycles and 10 years data retention (guaranteed).
Every SUNRISE card can be expanded to function as a complete Desktop-Video system. The CyReL VidiMix8 option uses the verstatile expansion port and the alpha channel of the SUNRISE boards thus allowing the generation of realtime Video effects.
SUNRISE cards achieve a high level of integration and reliability employing the latest processing and manufacturing technologies. Every production step is being followed by a number of inspections and quality control procedures.
Supports true device sharing in multi-tasking environments.
Up to four CyReL M16-1280 cards can be installed in a single ATARI VME bus system and support multi-level superimposed images.
User-friendly and easy to follow installation. No need to change settings or switches once the card is installed. Package provides a number of versatile GEM based installation programs.
All SUNRISE boards work with single frequency monitors, VGA monitors or multi-sync monitors ranging from 12" to 37" screens.
All colors can be selected from a palette of 16,777,216 shades.
Supports monochrome, four color, 16 color, 256 color/VGA and 24-bit true color modes without hardware changes, expansions or options.
High ergonomic refresh rates of up to 120 Hz (depending on the attached monitor) increase the quality of the display and avoid eye-strain. Refresh rates of up to 260 Hz are supported.
A very flexible access method supports changes in the hardware without the need to adapt or patch existing M16-1280 software and programs.
PAL and NTSC compatible signals can be generated.
Outputs video signals in either standard formats or professional formats for industrial or TV studio applications. Video output is CCIR and EIA343-A compatible.
Programmable true color GAMMA-CORRECTION.
Interlace or non-interlace modes with internal or external synchronization for GENLOCK modes.
Hardware smooth-scrolling & panning allows virtual screen size management for up to 4096 x 4096 pixels.
A High-speed LAN port with a software selectable transmission speed of 10 Megabit/second or 20 Megabit/second. The provided LAN port allows an easy and efficient way to connect up to 32 CyReL M16-1280 graphic stations per network.
Drivers for 2 & 3 button serial AT mice and Summagraphics Graphic digitizer tablets are included, providing the user with a comfortable operation even in higher resolutions. Both drivers can be dynamically adjusted and feature a build-in screen saver. Buttons/keys can be swapped if desired.
