About the Md2/PCI Board
The DOME
®
Md2/PCI™ display controller (board) is designed
to support demanding imaging applications, specifically those
for medical imaging.
It features a 10-bit DAC and a luminance calibration port, which
together enable the display to be accurately corrected for true
grayscale fidelity.
The board has an optimized bus interface, which allows
extremely fast access to image data and the fastest possible
transfers from memory and other PCI boards. With onboard
GUI acceleration, the board further enables high-performance
image processing through support for DIMPL,™ the DOME
Image-Processing Library.
This table summarizes the key features and benefits of the board.
