STB INTRODUCES ULTRA HIGH-END 24-BIT GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR

Pegasus VL to offer 16.7 million colors at 1024x768, 76 Hz refresh rate

Richardson, Texas - STB Systems, Inc. has announced the release of the
Pegasus VL graphics accelerator card. The Pegasus VL is a VESA Local Bus
compatible graphics accelerator that is capable of displaying 16.7 million
colors at resolutions of 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.

Based on the S3 86C928 video controller, the product will come in two
standard configurations. The base configuration will be configured with 4
MG of VRAM and will support resolutions up to 1024x768 at 16.7 million
colors and up to 65 thousand colors at 1280x1024. The product will also be
offered in a 2 MG configuration providing 65 thousand colors at 640x480
through 1024x768 resolutions and a maximum of 256 colors at 1280x1024
resolution. Refresh rates supported are 60, 72 and 76 Hz.

To simplify installation and provide easy access to configuration menus,
the Pegasus VL comes with a Winstall utility that makes it possible to
change monitor resolution and color settings from a windows menu accessed
by double clicking on an icon.

The product will come standard with a BNC-style RGB connector and VGA
15-pin D-sub connector. The RGB connector transmits high integrity video
signals and offers compatibility with high-end desktop publishing
monitors. Both connectors will support variable and fixed frequency
monitors.

The product will include drivers to support applications for Microsoft
Windows 3.x and Windows NT, IBM's OS/2, SCO Open Desktop, Uniware,
X-Windows, as well as major CAD/CAM platforms.

The Pegasus VL was scheduled to begin full production runs at the end of
July and to begin shipping during the middle of August.

The powerful features and capabilities of the Pegasus VL position this
board against high-end boards based on the TI 34020 co-processor, which
cost well over $2,000. The suggested retail price for the Pegasus VL (VESA
Local Bus) version is $799 for the 2MB version and $999 for the 4 MB
version.

The Pegasus VL offers users a higher level of performance than standard 1
and 2 MG DRAM graphics accelerators. "The Pegasus VL provides the right
combination of performance, color depth and open systems compatibility for
users who expect more than hyped up Winmark scores from tests performed in
256 color modes", said Gary Kellar, Product Manager. Kellar defines the
Pegasus VL, "...as a board designed for power users who need maximum
performance while working with 24-bit images at high resolutions".
