Matrox Throws it All In
The Matrox Marvel G-200TV

Written By George Avgerakis

Matrox recently announced the availability of a new PCI video card aimed at the prosumer market, encompassing, in one card, several functions which were hitherto only available as non-tandem options to the Matrox Millennium board.

The Matrox Marvel G-200TV, with a street price of $359, offers hardware motion JPEG video capture, a broadcast television receiver, software DVE acceleration and TV monitor output. Sporting an AGP (accelerated graphics port), the prosumer version of OpenGL, the board promises excellent results for 2-D, 3-D, video and TV for home, business, CBT and multimedia applications.

Matrox has bundled Avid Cinema nonlinear editing software with the Marvel G-200TV, anticipating that this board will quickly become a favorite of home videographers and business presenters. With 128 bit, dual bus architecture and a 230 MHz DAC, the card will represent a no compromise solution for home entertainment where no add-on boards are required. Market availability is expected early Summer '98.
