Silicon Image's PanelLink® Brings Power of Digital Connectivity to NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display's Digital CRT Users
Sunnyvale, Calif., October 11, 2000 - Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a price/performance leader in high-bandwidth semiconductor solutions for mass markets, today announced that its Digital Visual Interface (DVI)-compliant PanelLink® SiI 901 digital CRT monitor controller has been incorporated in NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display's new NEC MultiSyncÒ FP1350X monitor with AmbixTM Technology. With the PanelLink Sil 901, a key component of NEC's Ambix Technology, the 22-inch (20-inch viewable) professional-level NEC MultiSync FP1350X monitor features a standardized Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port, as well as offering a second analog port through a traditional VGA connector.
"Utilizing Silicon Image's PanelLink Sil 901 controller, NEC's Ambix dual-connection technology bridges the gap between the world of analog output and the world of digital systems, ensuring users peace of mind and hardware investment," said Andrés Maldonado, product line manager, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America. "Previously only available in NEC branded LCD monitors, NEC's MultiSync FP1350X Ambix enabled CRT monitor is among a new breed of personal displays that allow users to fully leverage the benefits of digital display technology."
Jon Kiachian, director of product marketing for display products at Silicon Image, noted that the SiI 901 extends the benefits of digital technology beyond liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors to desktop CRTs as well. "It is widely known that digital technology offers clear benefits over analog in terms of display resolution and potential for added functionality. Dual-mode CRT monitors such as the NEC MultiSync FP1350X are a good investment for consumers who want both compatibility with their current analog PCs and access to new, digital functionality as it becomes available. For instance, new features such as PC security and high-definition video and graphics cannot be achieved with analog displays but will soon be possible with DVI-compliant solutions."
The industry's first DVI-compliant controller designed specifically for implementation in digital CRT monitors, the SiI 901 provides sharp, crystal-clear images. Operating at 5 Gbps, the SiI 901 supports CRTs with SXGA resolution (1280x1024) at 85Hz refresh and CRTs with UXGA resolution (1600x1200) at 60Hz refresh. The SiI 901 monitor controller integrates a 165Mhz PanelLink receiver and 175Mhz triple video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for lower OEM system integration costs.
The NEC MultiSync FP1350X monitor is ideal for high-end professional graphics users, including designers, engineers, architects, publishers and programmers. Customers can order it immediately through NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display's normal distribution channels or by visiting www.necmitsitubishi.com/. The NEC MultiSync FP1350X monitor is among one of several PanelLink-powered digital CRTs currently available, with many leading CRT manufacturers demonstrating digital CRTs featuring the SiI 901during the past year.
