WARMINSTER, Pa., 2 July 2007. Interface Concept in France and ACT/Technico in Warminster, Pa., are introducing a COTS graphics PCI mezzanine card (PMC) called the IC-GRA-PMCa.

Built around the Carmine MB86297 GPU, which is the third generation of graphics products developed by Fujitsu the new IC-GRA-PMCa is an IEEE 1386-compliant PMC dedicated to mission-critical embedded applications.

The graphics board provides several features including geometry processing for 2D/3D graphics, pixel processing hardware, and video capture. It also offers 3D performance to 10 megapolygons per second.

X Server and OpenGL 2.0, with hardware-accelerated OpenGL-ES 1.1 functions, are supported and are compliant with the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). Additional libraries and drivers enable the use of video acquisitions and graphic multi-layer plans.

The IC-GRA-PMCa features a 128 megabyte DDR memory at 266 megabits per second, two video output channels with resolutions of 1280 by 1024 pixels at 60 Hz, and several interfaces (DVI, VGA, RGsB, STANAG).

Each digital video output port allows transparent processing, such as an overlay display as many as eight layers and alpha planes for four layers. The IC-GRA-PMCa has a DVI 1.0-compliant digital interface or a VGA-compatible interface. The VGA interface can be routed on the DVI-I connector or PN4 I/O connector through a video multiplexer.
