In their press release Matrox Inc. says The Millennium P650 and Millennium P750, featuring 64MBs of fast DDR memory and an AGP 8X interface, provide professional level multi-display technologies, at a mainstream price. Both boards include improved DualHead support through dual 400 MHz UltraSharp RAMDACs for crystal clear, fully symmetric RGB outputs at resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 and also feature the most advanced dual-DVI implementation, allowing independent resolution support at up to 1600 x 1200 on each flat panel display. While both the Millennium P650 and Millennium P750 include dual independent, gamma correctable overlay support and adjustable proc-amp settings for both the video window and TV, the Millennium P750 adds Dual-display plus TV output and TripleHead for maximum video workstation productivity for use with leading non-linear editing (NLE) software packages from Avid, Adobe, Ulead Systems Inc., and many others.

‘‘Five years ago, Matrox introduced DualHead, which transformed the standard graphics configuration for video workstations’’, says Caroline Injoyan, video workstation product manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. ‘‘Today, Matrox raises the bar once again with the Millennium P-Series, by bringing next-generation advancements such as Dual-display plus TV output and TripleHead technology to all levels of video workstation users.’’

The Millennium P-Series is said to be the perfect compliment to Matrox’s extensive family of graphics accelerators for the video workstation market. Matrox says they are the first cards to offer Dual-display plus TV output and TripleHead support, Matrox Parhelia is an end-to-end solution for high-end video editing, compositing and digital content creation (DCC). Complete with What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) plug-ins for a host of compositing, animation and DCC applications, Parhelia substantially enhances productivity for high-end video workstation users.

The Millennium P650 will sell for ESP $169 US and the Millennium P750 will sell for ESP $235 US. Both cards in the Millennium P-Series will be available in the second quarter of 2003 from various resellers and directly from Matrox at: http://shopmatrox.com.
