Designed for the user who wants to go beyond the speed offered by onboard- video, Formac offers the ProMedia card. With its S3 Virge processor, it allows extreme acceleration of screen redraw and the playback of QuickTime and MPEG movies in full screen mode. With the ProMedia, it is now possible to watch television on the Macintosh and to save Teletext information as required; it can then be imported into Word or Excel. Never miss a movie again as the software starts automatically at the beginning of the movie. Do you like playing 3D games? The card handles these with ease as it supports hardware acceleration for Quickdraw 3D.
