New Graphics Controller Supports Multiple Displays
Dallas, January 26, 2004 - A new graphics controller card from MEN Micro (www.menmicro.com) can drive two independent digital displays, alternatively with identical or with different screen displays. It features a 235-MHz, 24-bit RAMDAC (random access memory digital-to-analog converter) and is capable of driving two separate panels or a single high-resolution UXGA panel. The double-wide PC-MIP mezzanine card utilizes the SM731 display and 16 megabytes of graphics RAM.
"This PC-MIP card gives system designers who need high-end graphics a lot of flexibility," said Ernest Godsey, president of MEN Micro. "With this one controller card, the system can support multiple screens with the same content replicated on each screen or multiple screens with one image or display content spread across two screens."
MEN's new PC-MIP module, which has been designated as the P17, is capable of screen resolutions up to a maximum of 1600 x 1200 pixels. It has a Digital Video Interface-Integrated (DVI-I) connector on the front panel for a wide variety of monitor types, including LCD/TFT, CRT VGA monitors and TVs. The P17's two Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) channels can be used to drive two separate display panels or a single, high-resolution UXGA display panel. The two LVDS channels are routed to an on-board connector on the P17 and a rear I/O connector on the P17's carrier card. In addition, the P17 has a Super-Video (S-Video) channel for input and output.

About the PC-MIP Standard
The PC-MIP specification was developed jointly by MEN Mikro Elektronik and several other prominent electronic companies. The PC-MIP specification has been accepted as an ANSI standard. It combines the best of three worlds: first, it features the industrial front connection of the M-Modules standard; second, it has the flexible and small form factor of Industry Packs; and third, the PC-MIP specification is electrically compatible with the PCI bus.
As many as six PC-MIP modules can be placed on a standard 6U carrier card while three PC-MIP modules will fit on a single 3U carrier.
