Main features1• 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
