WASHINGTON, DC - October 21, 2002
- Quantum3D®,
Inc., a leading provider of open architecture realtime 3D visual
computing solutions for the Visual Simulation and Training (VST)
and Embedded Visual Computing (EVC) markets, and Concurrent Computer
Corporation, the premier provider of high-performance, realtime
computer systems, solutions, and software for commercial and government
markets announced today at the Association of the United States
Army (AUSA) conference that the two companies have entered into
a comprehensive reseller agreement for Quantum3D's Sentiris™
PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC). Under the terms of the agreement, Concurrent
Computer Corporation will have worldwide license to resell the
Quantum3D Sentiris 4110 PMC family as a complimentary product
to its Single Board Computers (SBCs) and complete system products.Quantum3D
will be demonstrating Sentiris at booth No. 729 at the Omni Shoreham
Hotel; Concurrent Computer will be demonstrating Sentiris at booth
No. 635.
Quantum3D's Sentiris is the first IEEE P1383.1
compliant PMC that brings the power of NVIDIA®
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) technology to Commercial Off-the-Shelf
(COTS) EVC applications. Based on NVIDIA's Quadro4®
embedded GPU, Sentiris delivers the high-performance, low-power
consumption and heat dissipation, superior image quality, advanced
video I/O capability and unique integration features that are
essential for mission-critical embedded visual computing applications.
Sentiris is compatible with both PowerPC™ and Intel®
architecture embedded platforms, and supports Microsoft®
Windows®, Linux® and Wind River
Systems™ VxWorks® realtime operating systems.
Available in a range of configurations and ruggedization levels,
including conduction cooled models available from SBS Technologies,
Sentiris is optimized to meet the demanding mission requirements
of avionics, vetronics, and embedded training applications while
delivering the cost savings, technology insertion and open architecture
benefits that derive from true COTS technologies. For more information

"Quantum3D's Sentiris delivers the performance,
image quality and capabilities that next generation embedded graphics
applications require," said Ken Jackson, Vice President Business
Development, Concurrent Computer Corporation. "Our first
deployments will be primarily in the advanced simulation markets
and the combination of our SBCs and Sentiris provides a compelling
realtime graphics solution for both commercial and military customers
who are seeking to enhance the graphics capabilities of existing
programs or are in the process of deploying new embedded visual
computing applications."
"Quantum3D and Concurrent have worked together
on several programs including Ford Motor Company's VIRTTEX advanced
driving simulator, so we already have a good working relationship
and great respect for Concurrent's capabilities in realtime systems,"
said Ross Q. Smith, executive vice president marketing and business
development, Quantum3D. "This latest agreement provides Concurrent
customers with a single source for integrated, realtime embedded
visual computing capabilities that feature Concurrent's value
