NeXT dimension is an accelerated, 32-bit color board that gives the NeXTcube NeXTdimension state-of-the-art color capabilities. NeXT dimension was designed for people who want the most advanced color PostScript system available. It's ideal for high-end publishing, graphics, video, and animation applications. The engineers at NeXT have integrated a 32-bit, true-color display function, a 64-bit RISC-based dedicated graphics coprocessor, video capture and display, and a high-performance JPEG compression coprocessor-all on one board. Its Intel i860 RISC-based microprocessor, operating at 33 MHz, runs full-color PostScript and has been optimized for our coprocessing environment, increas­ ing drawing speed eight to twelve times. This enables graphics applications to process images in near real time. The JPEG compression capabilities let you compress and play back still- and full-motion video from a hard disk drive. Features Benefits 32-blts-per-pixel NeXTd1mens1on offers 16.7 m Ilion colors .. color to choose from, so 1mages on the screen > have a photographic realism, with color, ( depth, and clanty Accelerated graph1cs The lntei1860 graphics accelerator makes work1ng w1th 32-blt color as fast as-and 1n some cases faster than-worktng on a standard NeXTcube monochrome system. � Video 1nput Lets you connect a NeXTdimens1on and output system to a VCR, laserd1sc player, VHS, S-VHS, H1-8, Beta, Camcorder, or still-v1deo camera w1thout requtring additional boards. Real-t1me Lets you take live v1deo, compress 1t, compress1on and and store 1t on hard d1sk-tn real t1me decompression With compression, you can store up to 60 t1mes more live video on a hard disk. MegaP1xel The large, clear MegaP1xel 17- and 21-1nch Color D1splays Color D1splays let you v1ew a full page of your work 1n breathtaking color And there's plenty of extra room for menus, 1cons, and tools. The NeXTcube offers a tremendous amount of power and performance­ all in a one-foot magnesium cube. It uses the powerfulMotorola 68040 CPU andMotoro la 56001 DSP. As your needs change, you can add more memory. You can also add up to three boards to the NeXTcube, simply by plugging them into the NeXTbus™ For instance, you might consider adding a NeXTdimension™ NeXTcube color board. The NeXTcuber"' computer is the expand­ able NeXT computer for people who need maximum configuration flexibility in mass storage and memory. It can also be used as a server on a network. Features Benefits Flexibility 1n memory You can equ1p the NeXTcube wth 8MB to configurations 64MB of ma1n memory, depend1ng on your needs Variety of storage We offer several storage opt1ons-a opt1ons 2 88 MB floppy disk dnve, a 256MB opt1cal d1sk dnve; a CD-ROM dnve; and 105MB, 200MB 400MB, 660MB, and 1.4GB hard disk drives�1v1ng you the ability to choose the type and amount of storage to meet your needs. Expans1on slots There are three ava1lable NeXTbus expan­ SIOn slots for th1rd-party and NeXT boards. such as the NeXTd1mens1on color board, lett1ng you add add1t10nal capabilitieS to your computer. Server capabilities You can take a standard NeXTcube and turn ·t 1nto a server system, s1mply by adding more memory and storage NeXT computers use Display PostScrip� for both screen imaging and printing. This makes two key things possible: First. what you see on the screen is precisely what you get when you print. Second, it means that imaging happens in the NeXT computer-not in the printer. So there's no need for the printer to have its own processor. That's why the NeXT 400 dpi Laser Printer is one of the most affordable printers around. NeXTstation Color NeXTstation Color is an affordable. 16-bit color NeXT computer for people who want a professional color solution. It's ideal for publishing, graphic design, computer­ aided design, presentations. analysis. and virtually all other applications that require color capabilities. In addition to the same core technologies that make NeXTstation an exceptional computer. the NeXTstation Color computer has 1.5 MB of dedicated video memory. This lets it display 4096 colors simulta­ neously on NeXTMega Pixel Color Displays. The NeXTMega Pixel Color Displays 17 measure either or 21 inches Features Benefits diagonally and can be used with all NeXT color systems. They have a resolution of 1120 (h) x 832 (v).
