Quantum3D Announces New Farsight Design Win With SBS Technologies for Single Board Computers With Integrated NVIDIA Graphics Technology New SBS Technologies VME SBCs Feature Industry-Leading NVIDIA Mobile Graphics Technology for Mid-Range Commercial andMilitary Embedded Visual Computing Applications SAN FRANCISCO, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum3D(R), Inc., a leading provider of open architecture, realtime 3D visual computing solutions for the Visual Simulation and Training (VST) and Embedded Visual Computing (EVC) markets, today announced at the Embedded Systems Conference a new Farsight(TM) Program design win with SBS Technologies(R), Inc. . Recently introduced SBS high-performance 6U VMEbus single board computers (SBCs) feature sophisticated NVIDIA(R) graphics solutions implemented under the Quantum3D Farsight Program. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/QUANTUM3DLOGO ) Farsight is Quantum3D's Design Services Program that enables embedded systems developers to embed advanced NVIDIA graphics technology into "graphics down" applications. With the design information from Farsight, the new SBS SBCs are particularly designed to meet the needs of the emerging market for mid-range 2D/3D embedded visual computing applicationsin both the commercial and military market segments. The new SBCs feature the Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor coupled with NVIDIA mobile graphics solutions -- both of which provide industry-leading, power-saving capabilities that are ideal for low-power applications. With both commercial and mil-spec ruggedized versions available, the new SBS VP9 and VR9 models deliver the performance and bandwidth needed for performance-oriented, power-sensitive embedded computing applications. Both models are on display at the Quantum3D Booth (No. 2532) as well as at the SBS Technologies Booth (No. 2402). For more information on the SBCs, please visit the SBS Technologies website at http://www.sbs.com/. "These new SBS Technologies SBCs armed with industry-leading NVIDIA graphics represent a great value for mid-range embedded visual computing applications," said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and president. "The VR9 and VP9 provide a strong mid-range compliment to Sentiris(TM) PMC-based solutions by providing a cost-effective solution for applications that need solid 2D/3D graphics performance but don't need the full capabilities of a dedicated graphics PMC." Wayne McGee, general manager of SBS Technologies' Single Board Computer design center in North Carolina, said, "Quantum3D and SBS continue to leverage the technology offerings and marketing strengths of both organizations to provide embedded computing solutions that meet the growing demands of commercial and military markets. We look forward toan ongoing collaboration with Quantum3D." "Quantum3D and SBS are leveraging advanced NVIDIA graphics technology in exciting new embedded market opportunities," said Jeff Brown, general manager of professional graphics at NVIDIA. "We are delighted thatthe performance, precision, and quality of our advanced graphics solutions are a driving force for critical new visual computing applications in the military, medical and scientific imaging, transportation and other commercial markets."
