This product was shown in both Sun's and also RasterOps booths and was a big hit. The 386i/TC board is a true color 24-bit frame buffer that allows one to work with photographic quality images on Sun386i. The board displays 16.8 million colors simultaneously and can be expanded by purchasing either the PIP option or the SFX option. The 386i/PIP option brings NTSC, S-Video and RGB signals directly into the Sun386i for display, capture, and manipulation. The 386i/SFX option allows users to mix the computer screen with an external video source to create one signal which can be output as NTSC, S-Video, or RGB. Target markets for this product includes publishing, pre-press, and medical imaging. However, the capabilities of this product will make it applicable for many different markets. The 386i/TC board with the device driver is available today from RasterOps and the list price is $6195.00. However, all Sun VARs and OEMs may purchase this color board directly from RasterOps for only $3095.00.
