Sil 141 PanelLink Receiver Fills Sun's Information Appliance With Images.Silicon Image's Sil 141 PanelLink receiver has been combined into Sun Microsystems' Sun Ray 150, a flat panel version of Sun's information appliances See Internet appliance. (hardware) Information Appliance - (IA) A consumer device that performs only a few targeted tasks and is controlled by a simple touch-screen interface or push buttons on the device's enclosure. . Sun attaches to major PC OEMs who have merged Silicon Image's PanelLink technology for their digital displays. "The [information appliance] with its Hot Desk technology enables access to everything on your network. It is the ultimate in access to network services," said Sal Cobar, director of strategic sales and marketing of information appliances at Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. . The appliance brings together the features and benefits of the Sun Ray system technology. Salvaging desk space, it features a PanelLink digital interface and is packaged as a 15-inch LCD flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time with a 1024x768 pixel resolution pixel resolution Telemedicine The sharpness of a computerized image, based on pixel concentration, which determines display resolution . Due to its shape and footprint, it may be put in small areas. It can be mounted to a wall, as well, and is priced at $1,299. When bought in a workgroup bundle, it contains a configured Sun Enterprise server. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2.

Cobar: "The architecture in Sun [Microsystems'] Sun Ray information appliance, coupled with Silicon Image's PanelLink technology, brings innovation to the desktop and lets users take advantage of the network services-driven model of computing." Steve Tirado, executive vice president of marketing and business development at Silicon Image, said, "This is a win for Silicon Image, [Inc.] because it represents our design win from Sun. We are pleased that Sun chose our PanelLink technology for the [information appliance's] digital displays. We provide the link to an all-digital world. Semiconductor solutions will be the engine of change for viewing and accessing information over the next few years." Tirado continued, "The visual quality of information is better when [it is] digital and access to information must keep pace with improvements in CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , memory, and disk price/performance. PanelLink has become a de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, for digital interconnects where performance and price of bandwidth are crucial to adoption. By breaking the $1/Gb barrier, PanelLink is enabling [a] transition to digital displays." Bundles are configured. They stock a spectrum of solutions measured appropriately for a variety of workgroup needs. |
