BATCH-FED SLIDE SCANNER
The Powerslide 3600 scans batches of mounted slides automatically,
creating high-quality digital files that can be stored to
hard disk, zip drive, CD-R, CD-RW or other storage media.
The Powerslide turns all slides into a digital format, allowing
slide shows to be viewed in TV, LCD projector, computer monitor,
e-mail or Website format. The Powerslide 3600 slide tray allows
users to scan up to 50 2" x 2" slides per batch
run. It operates at 3600 dpi optical resolution, which produces
a digital image of approximately 28 Megapixels. The Powerslide
3600 3.8 dynamic range is capable of reading the full scale
(from white to black) that can be recorded by film. Its 48-bit
data conversion capability records 16 bits of information
for each of three colors (red, blue and green) translating
into the ability to record more than 279 trillion distinct
colors. The Powerslide 3600 is compatible with all TWAIN compliant
software, such as Adobe Photoshop and other popular image
editors. PACIFIC IMAGE. Torrance, CA.

HIGH-END COMPUTER NODES
The V2G4c and V4G4c computing nodes are used for demanding
applications requiring high-performance real-time data and
signal processing, including sonar, radar, medical imaging
and machine vision systems. The new 6U VME VxG4c features
two or four 500 MHz Motorola Power PC 7410 (G4) processors
with AltiVec vector processing units. The unit has a local
bus speed of 133 MHz. The on-board PowerPC processors utilize
massively shared memory architecture to access up to 1 GB
SDRAM memory in real-time with low latency. The new computing
node provides multi-CPU support, including two PCI/PMC slots
with an Avignon crossbar, a 64 KB L1 and a 2MB L2 cache for
each processor, as well as external I/O support. The Quad
processor version of the V4G4c has 50-Watt power consumption.
The Dual version of the board, the V2G4c, has 38-Watt power
consumption. The new system is available in a variety of conduction-and
convection- cooled environmental classes. THALES. Raleigh,
