StratusPMC

High Resolution VGA, DVI and LVDS Graphics with Video, DVI and RGB Digitizers

Rastergraf’s StratusPMC is a dual-head display controller and video capture PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) board. The card is designed for use under VxWorks (using Wind River’s WindML or Rastergraf’s SDL) and Linux (using SDL or XFree86) operating environments. It also supports DirectX and OpenGL environments running Windows.

StratusPMC features a Silicon Motion SM731 System On a Chip (SOC) graphics accelerator with 16 Mbytes of on-chip SDRAM. This 128-bit 2D/3D graphics engine supports compatible displays at up to 1600 x 1200 x 24 bpp (16.7 million colors). Dual-head output maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024

The Stratus/PMC features the Conexant Bt835 NTSC/PAL/S-Video and Analog Devices AD9882 High Speed RGB/DVI digitizers. A loopback can connect Video Output to Input for self-testing.

The standard Stratus PMC configuration includes:

  • Front-panel DVI-I connector: Supplies DVI Output and primary
    and secondary analog RGB outputs. The RGB outputs support VGA
    (RGBHV), Sync-On-Green (SOG), and Composite Sync.
  • Front panel 15-pin MDSM connector: Provides S-Video and
    Composite Video inputs and outputs or high speed (1280 x 1024)
    RGBHV input with optional Sync-on-Green.
  • Rear panel (J4/Pn4): Supplies dual LVDS outputs.
