When: Sunday, May 18th: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday, May 19th: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Tuesday, May 20th: 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The Matrox Parhelia™ 128MB graphics card (also available in a 256MB configuration) offers geotechnology professionals unmatched versatility with Surround Design¾hardware accelerated 2D and/or 3D on one, two or three monitors¾and its support for specialized formats such as grayscale or high-pixel density displays, stereo, genlocking, and non-standard resolutions and aspect ratios.
Surround Design is ideal for spreading out application windows that would otherwise need to be overlapped or minimized on a single display. Taking advantage of the increased desktop space provided by Surround Design, GIS professionals can see more of a map, using Intergraph GeoMedia, for instance, by stretching it across three displays for easier viewing and analysis. This greatly reduces the need for zooming and panning, tasks that significantly reduce productivity and ease of use. Another benefit of Surround Design is the ability to view an image in different zoom factors across the expanded desktop.
The freedom to work with large models across two or three displays makes tasks such as land information management, surveying and mapping much more efficient and productive. When it comes to displaying vast and complex geospatial data, no other graphics solution offers the benefits of triple-display for unsurpassed productivity.
