Attach an Unlimited Number of DPVL Enabled Displays to a Single Graphics Card with SciTech SNAP

Chico, California -- (January 2, 2006) -- SciTech Software, Inc. today announced the availability of VESA DPVL (Digital Packet Video Link) support in its Enterprise level driver solutions for multiple operating systems including Linux and Windows. Designed to provide transactional desktops, security systems and information kiosk developers with a simple method of adding a large number of DPVL enabled displays to their systems via a single digital panel connector.

"We see DPVL as one of the most business applicable features to roll out of VESA since the introduction of (DPMS) Display Power Management Signaling. DPVL provides the ability to deploy multi-display systems utilizing a single digital connector reducing costs, noise and heat, while also simplifying the cable clutter typical in these environments." said Andrew Bloo, Director of Sales and Marketing for SciTech Software Inc.

VESA's most recent method of supporting multiple displays allows hardware to meet the ever increasing environmental constraints found in high-density and specialized environments such as call-centers, trading-room floors, airports and security centers. Issues such as a reduction in over all hardware costs, energy consumption and noise emissions are increasingly becoming important to system administrators and the personnel that interact with the equipment. SciTech's solution requires no special graphics hardware, making it both compatible with many existing systems as well as newer systems which might be deployed specifically with VESA DPVL support in mind.

SciTech SNAP Graphics ENT with the addition of VESA Digital Packet Video Link (DPVL) offers cost savings across the board. These savings can be realized up front through the use of simple off the shelf graphics hardware, as well as over the life of the system through reductions in energy consumption, lower heat and noise dissipation, space savings and a reduction in the amount of cabling required to connect the system to the host-client. SciTech SNAP Graphics can be used on existing hardware in many cases, which helps to maximize the life cycle of existing hardware solutions improving the ease of adoption and the cost effectiveness of deploying DPVL.
