Graphics Accelerators for Alpha AXP Workstations

HIGHLIGHTS

o  New ZLX-E2 and ZLX-E3 2D and 3D graphics accelerators provide excellent
   price/performance

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

The ZLX-E2 and ZLX-E3 graphics accelerators are single slot, TURBOchannel
based modules for 2D and 3D graphics acceleration. The ZLX-E2 graphics
accelerator offers 24 bits per pixel for true color image display, and four
overlay planes. The ZLX-E3 also has 24 bits per pixel and four overlay
planes, plus a full, 24 bit Z buffer for solid model rendering. Both
accelerators offer excellent price/performance.

The ZLX-E2 graphics accelerator is especially suited to image processing,
medical imaging, and desktop publishing applications because of its true
color capability. In addition, it can be configured to run at 8 bits double
buffered with a 16 bit Z buffer -- a key configuration for MCAD applications
such as ProEngineer from Parametric Technologies.

The ZLX-E3 graphics accelerator is ideal for mechanical CAD and computer
aided molecular design because of its 24 bit Z buffer.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING

The ZLX-E2 and ZLX-E3 graphics accelerators are orderable now for shipment
beginning September 12, 1994. All ZLX-E2 and ZLX-E3 configurations require a
DEC Open3D license.
