GECUBE GC-HD13PLG2-D3 and GC-HD16PLPG2-D3

GECUBE has announced the availability of the GC-HD13PLG2-D3 and GC-HD16PLPG2-D3 graphics accelerator with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). Both cards are capable of displaying high-definition video and multi-channel audio simultaneously. HDMI is an audio-video standard with sufficient bandwidth to accommodate both uncompressed and high-definition digital video and multi-channel audio format using a single cable wire between a source device such as a DVD player or a set-top box to a HDTV or HD-compatible device for displaying video.

The HDMI-enabled cards can transfer up to 24-bits of data at 165 mega pixels per second. The GeCube GC-HD13PLG2-D3 and GC-HD16PLPG2-D3 are constructed with 90nm technology and support Shader Model 3.0, Avivo technology, Crossfire platform, and Catalyst drivers. HDR (high dynamic range) technology is also present and enhances lighting effects in applications such as games.

HIS 1900XTX/XT ICEQ3

THE HIS 1900XTX/XT IceQ3 is equipped with a uniquely designed thermal solution. The heatpipes are covered with sintered powder wicks for rapid heat dissipation while isolated heatsinks prevent heat transfer between the GPU and memory chips. The dual-slot design allows better air circulation.

The new Crossfire-enabled video card includes an ultra-threaded engine to support shader performance. It also has an HDR engine for improved graphics and Avivo technology for HD video support.

QNAP TS-101 9-in-1 NAS SERVER

THE lightweight QNAP TS-101 9-in-1 NAS server can serve as a personal Web server, P2P download station, multimedia station, and print server. The built-in Serial ATA disk supports up to 500GB worth of files and through its eSerial ATA and USB dual interface slot, the storage capacity can be jacked up to more than 1TB. The QNAP TS-101 9-in-1 NAS server supports high-speed Gigabit network connection while its three USB ports allows connectivity to digital devices. Aside from its multi-language Web interface, it also provides three different data protection mechanisms. Users can use the NetBak Replicator backup software, the embedded professional block-level and backup mechanism, and the unique Q-RAID 1 miroring disk management function.

INTENDED for advances users who demand performance, form, and functionality, Corsair has introduced the 184-pin XMS-3200C2 XPERT 2GB memory module. Unlike other memory modules, the Corsair XMS-3200C2 XPERT 2GB can monitor and display critical performance parameters through a big alphanumeric display on top. Furthermore, it uses an integrated micro-controller and sensors to measure voltage, temperature, and frequency on the memory module. The Corsair XMS-3200C2 XPERT 2GB is guaranteed to run at 400MHz with low latencies of 2-3-3-6.

CISCO MDS 9513 Multilayer Director

DESIGNED to scale up to 528 ports in a single chassis, the CISCO MDS 9513 enables SAN (storage are networking) environments to meet requirements for increased responsibilities, resiliency, and manageability. It offers an advanced feature set and full bandwidth redundancy to ensure system performance even in the event of a crossbar failure. Other features include dual supervisors, support for non-disruptive software upgrades, modular software with process restart, support for cross-module inter-switch links scaling to 16 ports each, and full redundancy of all critical hardware components.

Sharp Aquos LCD TV

BOASTING a huge 65-inch of display space, the Sharp Aquos utilizes a 16:9 full-spec HD panel with 1920 x 1080 pixels to deliver rich and bright images. The device also uses a novel four-wavelength backlight system in which the deep crimson red color is added to the conventional red, green and blue group. The additional color promises to enhance the color reproduction. And with the radial pattern of the liquid crystal molecules on the display, the Sharp Aquos Enables 170-degree of viewing angles. Complementing the image quality is the sound produced by the specialized set of speakers trapped under stainless steel grills. RF coaxial, S-video, composite, and component video jacks offer connectivity. Digital devices can be connected to the Sharp Aquos through High Definition Multimedia Interface, Digital Video Interface, and HD component inputs.
