Rastergraf's ArgusPMC fulfills high performance requirements for dual channel graphics and video acquisition common to embedded computing processing environments, including Solaris, Linux, Windows, and leading real-time operating systems including VxWorks and LynxOS.

Using two 128-bit Borealis graphics accelerators, the ArgusPMC supports independent 2D, 3D, OpenGL, and DirectX compatible displays.  Monitor support includes non-interlaced analog VGA and Sync On Green (SOG) plus digital DVI with screen resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (VGA) or 1600 x 1200 (DVI) with up to 16.7 million colors (24 bpp). A quad-image BIOS enables the ArgusPMC to operate in virtually any x86 or SPARC system using VGA, RGB+Sync-On-Green, or DVI displays.

Other features of the ArgusPMC include dual Conexant Fusion 878A video digitizers, an NEC uPD720101 USB 2.0 host controller, and a Micronas UAC3556B USB Audio Stereo I/O CODEC. The UAC3555B supports mono microphone or stereo line-in and stereo line-out, 5-band equalizer, volume, balance, and tone controls

A unique asynchronous PCI bridge design supports all PMC interfaces from 32-bit, 33 MHz to 64-bit, 66 MHz, while enabling the Borealis graphics accelerators to always operate at 32-bit, 66 MHz. The 33 MHz PCI digitizers and USB are decoupled from the graphics PCI bus by a secondary bridge.

The ArgusPMC has an MDR-68 connector, which when used with an available breakout cable, supplies dual DVI, dual VGA, dual USB, dual S-Video in, and Stereo Audio In and Out 3.5mm jacks.
