MATROX a ich karty

[Wuuduu]

dnes som si pozrel cennik kariet od Matroxu... skoro ma ****.
Tato firmicka sa zavesila na medicinsky trh, kde si za karty pytaju NEHORAZNE ceny.
Precitajte si popis tych vlastnosti, okrem 10bit spracovania tam nevidim nic extra, ale asi mi tam nieco unika, pretoze VO cena tej karty je 73.000,- SKK bez DPH 19%! Co mi teda unika, co tak dviha cenu tejto karty?

Matrox MED5mp-PPP pre medicínske LCD
Single: 1536x2048 nebo Dual: 2x 1536x2048, výstup: 8-bit. nebo 10-bit. - 2x DVI-I, kompatibilní s R11, R22, G11, G20/21 a G31


The Matrox MED3mp-PPP for Windows was specifically developed for medical diagnostic systems.
The 3-megapixel (2048 x 1536) resolution facilitates top quality reproduction of radiological images
In addition, a recently developed graphics chip ensures the fastest possible plotting speed to prevent after images and lagging images.


Matrox MED5mp, Matrox MED4mp, Matrox MED3mp and Matrox MED2mp boards available to support a variety of display resolutions
• Multiple card support for a combination of all grayscale, all color or mix of both grayscale and color displays
• Hardware Pivot provides smooth and accelerated image display
• Hardware cursor support eliminates cursor flicker during cineloops
• No tearing and flicker-free, optimized cineloop playback
• Gamma ramp correction supported independently on both outputs in independent and stretched (NT-style) desktop modes
• Support for native portrait and landscape displays simultaneously
• Use either a 10- or 8-bit frame buffer for 1024 or 256 simultaneous shades of gray
• Bus performance optimized for fast window & level and cineloop applications
• Enhanced features available through Matrox imaging Library (MIL) to enable hardware-accelerated operations such as image cached window/levelling, zoom, rotate, display cloning, and the ability to view 1024 simultaneous shades of gray from 16-bit source images

Ano, máš pravdu, není to nic jiného než Parhelie (s jedním lepším převodníkem na PCB navíc) Jediné, co Matrox nabízí nadstandardně je zaručená (SW) kompatibilita s určitým typem monitoru. 10bit processing není dnes nic neobvyklého - je standardem pro R5xx a podporuje ho už i G80 (respektive NVIO).

Když jsem loni psal, že ty "profesionální" Matrox karty neumějí nic, co by konkurence už dáno nenabízela, protože je to stále jen Parhelia na dvanáct způsobů, tak mě pár lidí málem sežralo, že tomu prý nerozumím a že karty od Matroxu jsou >profesionální<. Mno, tak snad budeš mít větší úspěch
