ELSA answers the greatly increased demands of the corporate desktop and high-end office applications with a brand-new graphics board. The WINNER 2000/Office masters the dizzying demands of the many office and communications solutions available today while fulfilling the standards for high quality known of ELSA products. The display of high resolutions, and thus the display of complex documentation, tables and graphics, is handled with ease. Integrated video input and output ports guarantee the seamless combination of graphics and video on the PC.

WINNER 2000/Office is equipped with the 64-bit graphics processor PERMEDIA 2 from 3Dlabs. Uncompromisingly ergonomic refresh rates are provided by the combination of super-fast SGRAM with the 230-MHz RAMDAC, which can display 16 million colors with 1280 x 1024 pixels absolutely flicker-free.

WINNER 2000/Office has been optimized for the operating systems Windows® 95, Windows NT® and OS/2. This results in the outstanding DirectX (Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectVideo, DirectShow), EnDIVE, and OpenGL hardware-accelerated performance offered by this graphics board. In the 3D disciplines, this board provides hardware acceleration of texture mapping, bilinear and point filtering, alpha blending, fogging, Gouraud shading, and triangle setup.

Another highlight is the board's screen-filling MPEG and AVI video playback which is given a great qualitative boost by the horizontal and vertical filtering. Complementary to this are the video input and output ports which can be used, for example, for video mail and videoconferencing, and for graphics output on TVs, video recorders, or Projectors for Windows® 95.
