[16
Aug 2001]
Elbox
Computer has released its brand new Mediator
Multimedia CD package to open the world of PCI Sound
and TV cards for Amiga users.
This
CD has been prepared to provide you with the selection
of drivers for PCI sound cards, TV tuner cards and graphic
cards for Mediator PCI busboards for Amiga 4000, Amiga
3000 and Amiga 1200 computers.
The
basic features of the Sound, TV & Graphic drivers:
Sound
drivers:
- The
AHI-standard drivers for music cards to provide support
for Sound Blaster PCI128 cards based on ES1371, ES1373,
CT5880 and EV1938 chipsets.
-
The Sound Blaster PCI128 card makes use of the PCI
bus in the Mediator busboard as the busmaster performing
DMA operations to/from the external memory.
-
With 8- and 16-bit mono and stereo playback and 16-bit
stereo recording plus user-selectable sampling rates
from 5kHz to 48kHz, the Sound Blaster PCI128 produces
precise audio fidelity.
-
Possible connection of 2 or 4 (optional) speakers
for an engulfing 3D-surround sound experience.
-
Two independent stereo DACs for simultaneous playbacking
of two stereo PCM channels.
-
Mixer: All inputs can be mixed together. Simultaneous
recording from all the inputs is possible. The volume
and balance can be changed independently for each
input and output.
TV
tuner drivers:
- Drivers
for TV tuner cards provide support for tuner cards
based on the Bt878 Video Decoder.
-
The TV screen is rendered in the graphic card screen
in a user-scalable window (PIP).
-
The TV tuner cards make use of the PCI bus in the
Mediator busboard as a busmaster performing DMA operations
to the graphic card memory.
-
TV tuner card running in the Mediator PCI busboard
does not enforce any load whatsoever on the Amiga's
processor.
-
When full-screen TV image is generated, data transfer
over the PCI bus between the TV tuner card and the
graphic card is executed at 44MB/s.
Graphic
drivers:
- Enhanced
drivers for the Voodoo graphic card family.
-
In the case of Mediator PCI 1200, the package allows
using the memory window jumper set to 8MB independently
of the Mediator PCI 1200 busboard series.
