Sogitec certified AMD's synchronization modules and 3D graphics accelerators

AMD has announced that Sogitec has certified ATI FirePro S400 synchronization modules and ATI FirePro V8750 graphics accelerators for its products. The combined use of ATI FirePro S400 and ATI FirePro V8750 offers an even output across multiple displays or video projectors to create a smooth virtual canvas.

The ATI FirePro S400 module delivers Framelock functionality by combining synchronized display output and simultaneous 3D buffer swapping, to ensure GPUs in connected systems deliver output video in perfect lock-step.

The ATI FirePro S400 combined with Sogitec Apogée 6 Image Generator Systems for robust, reliable and precise synchronized, plus vivid and realistic 3D imagery for life-like flight simulations.

The ATI FirePro S400 module is compatible with ATI FirePro V8750 3D graphics accelerators and supports existing software interfaces.

AMD says, it is currently working with its simulation, training, video and broadcast partners to certify the ATI FirePro S400 synchronization module for use with their systems.

"Flight simulation customers demand simulation technology that helps reduce total cost of ownership by simplifying installation, deployment and maintenance," said Joël Clairon, director of Marketing and Sales, Sogitec. "The ATI FirePro S400 enables robust, reliable high density synchronized 3D rendering for Sogitec Apogée 6 Image Generators, but more importantly it's designed to allow future updates to be deployed in the field without requiring internal access to the host system, saving time and effort."

"AMD is driving adoption of 3D professional graphics technology by delivering leading performance and compatibility to meet the demanding requirements of video, broadcast, simulation and rich display applications," said Janet Matsuda, senior director of Professional Graphics, AMD. "By working closely with simulation and training partners, AMD is delivering 3D graphics solutions that immerse users and suspend disbelief."
