What Is The Eclipse Workstation?

Features

Features

Expansion Capabilities

The Eclipse does not contain ISA or PCI slots. Expansion takes the form of a Type II
PCMCIA Cardbus Slot, USB port(s), and three available serial ports.

PCMCIA CardBus Slot

The Eclipse Workstation includes a single Type II 32-bit PCMCIA CardBus Slot.
Established in 1995 by the Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA), the CardBus PC Card is a 32-bit version of the original 16-bit
PC Card standard, offering higher levels of performance.
Part of the PC Card family, a CardBus PC Card conforms to an established physical
form factor, providing a compact, rugged card that can be inserted completely within
its host workstation without any external cabling (except when the card must be
attached to a LAN, telephone line, or a wireless antenna).

Digital Visual Interface

To drive the LCD panel a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is employed. This high speed
digital connection replaces the conventional analog RGB interface to CRT monitors.
The DVI interface allows the display content to remain in a lossless digital format
from the system board graphics controller to the LCD panel. DVI offers the following
features:
Display technology independence
Plug and Play. If you swap a DSTN display for a TFT display on the Eclipse, this
will be detected by the Display Data Channel Interface.
Display contrast and backlight control for DSTN panels.
Digital and Analog support through a single connector, using a cable specific to
each application. (Analog cable currently not available).
DVI uses a Transition Minimized Differential Signalling (TMDS) protocol and
encoding algorithm for the base electrical interconnection. These signals are routed to
the LCD/Touchscreen Head where they are decoded into pixel data compatible with
the LCD.

Sound

The Intel 810 Chipset supports the Audio Codec '97 digital audio component
specification which consists of a 2 device audio solution comprised of a digital
component, (the ICH) and a high quality analog component (the AD1819A) that
includes a Digital To Analog Converter (DAC) and Analog to Digital Converter
(ADC), mixer, and IO.
The Eclipse supports the following sound capabilities.
PCI 2.1 bus master interface and AC-link controller
