Elbox, the developers of the Mediator PCI-busboard, and Vision Factory, the developers of the popular CyberGraphX graphics system, have announced their co-operation to make the CyberGraphX system (both v3 and v4) compatible with various PCI graphics cards that can be utilized through the Mediator board. CGX v3 will ship with the busboards. Vision Factory have opened a support page for Mediator. Read the full press-release below.

For Immediate Release

Krakow, PL - 24 July 2000

Elbox Computer, the developer of Amiga hardware and software, who have designed and produced the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard, announced a partnership today with Vision Factory Development, developer of CyberGraphX, the widely popular graphic system for Amiga computers.

Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development will co-operate to port and optimize the CyberGraphX graphic system for operation with PCI graphic cards installed in the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard.

CyberGraphX V3 will be available with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard. CyberGraphX V4, the extended commercial version of this system may be obtained from all the CyberGraphX distributors; it will enable even more comprehensive use of the PCI graphic chipsets capacity.

Support for new graphic chipsets will be developed for both versions (V3 and V4) of the CyberGraphX system.

Current information on drivers available for MEDIATOR will be reported at http://www.vgr.com, the official CyberGraphX website.

CyberGraphX

The CyberGraphX standard is being supported by all major Amiga software vendors worldwide. CyberGraphX was designed to define an independent graphics standard for Amiga graphic boards. Continued work on Workbench emulation was also an important issue. Over 7 years of experience in developing graphics board software was employed in making Workbench control screens with all the existing Amiga graphic cards.

CyberGraphX is based on hardware-dependent monitor driver and hardware-independent libraries. This solution has many advantages, one of these being bug fixes in the Workbench card control. Speed optimization is another benefit available for ALL the graphic boards supported by the CyberGraphX system. CyberGraphX works with majority of the most popular applications on the Amiga and resources of Public Domain and Demo software available are broad.

MEDIATOR PCI 1200

The MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is a new-generation busboard for Amiga 1200 computers. The MEDIATOR busboard is fitted with four PCI 2.1-compiliant slots for connecting PCI devices, thus enabling expansion of Amiga 1200 with a variety of PCI-standard hardware products.

MEDIATOR's hardware has been made compatible with ALL the available Amiga 1200 turbo cards. MEDIATOR PCI opens an immense wealth of PCI cards for Amiga 1200 owners: network, sound, modem (ISDN), decoding (MPEG-2, MP3), TV, and, most of all, graphic cards based around chipsets like S3 ViRGE, Savage4, Voodoo3, Voodoo5, Riva TNT2, etc.

MEDIATOR PCI enables using the high-end cards based around the latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors (available in the PCI card form) in Amiga 1200 computers. When this feature is combined with the PCI graphic cards, totally new superb possibilities are open for Amiga owners.
