The development potential for increasing hardware-accelerated performance via hardware LUTs, multiple hardware window IDs, and additional hardware features, Xenia Series is a flexible and expandable solution for medical imaging developers and integrators looking for leading edge technology.
"We are very happy to provide our customers with solutions that combine the features of the CHILI product family with the performance of the Matrox Xenia Series," says Andre Schroeter, one of the founders and CTO of CHILI GmbH. "The hardware LUTs and hardware window IDs will give real performance benefits for volume reporting of high resolution images. Also the ability to connect three (3) displays to a single controller with a single driver is very important to us."
Matrox Xenia is the first native PCI Express single-slot board with all-digital, triple-monitor output and the flexibility to drive practically any known display configuration. Xenia Series supports resolutions from under 1MP up to 8MP, with up to 1GB of on-board memory, and features new technology to ensure optimum display calibration (via Matrox DLC™ and 8/10/13-bit gamma LUTs).
"Matrox and CHILI GmbH have cooperated in recent years to implement new hardware capabilities for medical imaging," says George Rigas, Business Development Manager for Medical Imaging, Matrox Graphics Inc. "By utilizing the new hardware accelerated features on the Xenia Series, overall CPU usage is reduced while performance and efficiency increased within the same application."
