Teranex, Inc., the leader in image processing for digital media content, will introduce a new line of products based on their next-generation, patented array processing chip, code named P4K. This new platform will deliver a 10x performance increase over the previous version. The P4K array processor chip can bring supercomputer performance for image processing applications to the desktop. For example, a PC outfitted with Teranex technology will provide approximately 1.6 TeraOps of performance, reducing the time required for processor-intensive high-definition rendering effects by one-third. At this level of performance, the PC would qualify as one of the most powerful image processing systems in the world. "This supercomputer technology on a chip allows Teranex to deliver products on a PC that are not even available on expensive, high-end workstations," said Janet Leising, vice president of marketing, Teranex. "What's exciting is the unprecedented ability for this technology to offer real-time, resolution-independent image processing on the desktop. This will improve the way content is developed and open the door to added creativity and productivity in high-definition workflow."
