E&S Receives Orders for Two Visual Systems in Russia.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2004 Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. (E&S(R)) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ESCC ESCC Eastern Shore Community College ESCC East Sussex County Council ESCC Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma ESCC Enhanced Serial Communication(s) Controller ESCC Electrically Self-Calibrating Cavity )--AMEIS Group of Russia has ordered two Environment Processor(TM) image generators, E&S announced today. AMEIS will use the first system, an EPX EPX Enterprise Private Exchange (TM)-500 image generator, for simulation demonstrations at the company's Moscow headquarters. The second system, an EP(TM)-1000CT, will be used to upgrade a foreign military transport simulator. E&S will deliver the three-channel EPX-500 system, equipped with a whole-earth database and three high-resolution insets, to AMEIS this summer. In addition, E&S will provide ECT ECT electroconvulsive therapy. ECT abbr. electroconvulsive therapy ECT Electroconvulsive therapy sometimes is used to treat depression or mania when pharmaceutical treatment fails. (TM) database development tools and training along with installation services. The EP-1000CT system will be delivered later this year for integration into a simulator for a Russian-made military transport aircraft. Following contract signing ceremonies in Moscow on April 8, AMEIS Group President Yuriy L. Makarov said, "We are very impressed with the capabilities of the E&S Environment Processor visual system products. We are eager to offer this outstanding technology to our customers in Russia as well as other countries using Russian equipment." "AMEIS is a key player in the Russian military equipment export market," said E&S Sales Vice President Donald Brown Donald E. Brown is an American professor of anthropology (emeritus). He worked at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is best known for his theoretical work regarding the existence, characteristics and relevance of universals of human nature. . "These orders further demonstrate that this market is well suited to our EPX product line, and we look forward to additional orders from Russia in the near future." About Environment Processor Technology Evans & Sutherland's Environment Processor with military extensions (EPX) is designed to deliver flexibility, responsiveness, and performance for the most demanding military training requirements. EPX software runs on hardware with a range of prices and capabilities, allowing customers to select the right hardware platform for their specific training missions. The unique, layered architecture An architecture in which data moves from one defined level of processing to another. Communications protocols are a primary example. See OSI model. of the software enhances reliability and allows rapid database creation and update from source materials Noun 1. source materials - publications from which information is obtained source - a document (or organization) from which information is obtained; "the reporter had two sources for the story" . Since EPX databases are delivered as source data, the same data can be used in multiple applications and updated incrementally as new source materials become available. EPX offers ESIG ESIG European Solvents Industry Group ESIG Environmental and Societal Impacts Group (US National Center for Atmospheric Research) ESIG Electronic Signature ESIG Ecole Supérieure d'Informatique de Gestion (R)/CIGI host compatibility, which makes it easier to upgrade existing simulators to the new visual system. In addition, all EPX products are equipped with a 3D whole-earth terrain model and delivered with three high-resolution insets to allow training to begin immediately. About EPX-500 EPX-500 runs on E&S' simFUSION(R) value-added PC image generator hardware, which uses a standard PC motherboard in an industrial chassis equipped with the highly scalable ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. RADEON graphics processing units. Flexible and scalable, EPX-500 is equipped with all the features of EPX technology, including a number of military simulation capabilities, including sensor effects and shader-based weather effects. About EP-1000CT Now certified Level D by the Joint Aviation Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), component of the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets standards for the air-worthiness of all civilian aircraft, inspects and licenses them, and regulates civilian and military air traffic through its air traffic control and sold worldwide for both fixed and rotary wing applications, E&S' EP-1000CT is based on Evans & Sutherland's innovative Environment Processor technology. EP-1000CT offers a number of industry-leading features that deliver improved training fidelity and lower cost of ownership, such as fast creation and update of detailed airport scenes, advanced adverse weather simulation, a worldwide geodetic See geodetic coordinates. 3D background environment, and unmatched training realism and image quality. About the Environment Creation Tool (ECT) Developed for E&S EPX products, ECT is the first modeling tool that features a true "what you see is what you get (jargon) What You See Is What You Get - (WYSIWYG) /wiz'ee-wig/ Describes a user interface for a document preparation system under which changes are represented by displaying a more-or-less accurate image of the way the document will finally appear, e.g. when printed. ," or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Pronounced "wiz-ee-wig." It refers to displaying text and graphics on screen the same as they will print on paper or display on a Web page. interface for creation, modification, and verification of visual databases. ECT accomplishes this by running the real-time system as an embedded application, with editing functions layered on top. Because EPX pages source data directly and delays combining them until render time, ECT is able to perform editing functions on source data rather than rendered polygons. For the first time in the history of simulation, users are able to view, edit, review, and save each component of a simulation scene without waiting for lengthy re-compilations of the database components. About Evans & Sutherland Evans & Sutherland produces professional hardware and software to create highly realistic visual images for simulation, training, engineering, and other applications throughout the world. E&S visual systems are used in both military and commercial systems, as well as planetariums and interactive theaters. Visit the E&S Web site at http://www.es.com.
