Hercules 3D Prophet 7500 All-in-Wonder

The 3D Prophet AIW 7500 is pretty much like your normal ATI RAdeon 7500, it is a mid-range performance mainstream Graphics Card, it comes with DVI output and a gender changer to connect your monitor / VGA cable (Video Graphics Array).

Furthermore you'll notice a heap of connectivity in the form of Cable/TV antenna input, through a cable output for S-Video, Composite and L+R channel audio. With the help of a Input block we can notice input connectivity for S-Video, Composite and L+R audio. This is pretty much need for some basic movie editing. If I understand correctly in a later stage there will be optional configurations with remote control, S/PDIF output (Dolby Digital) and DV (Digital Video) options. In a short while we will test the Radeon 8500DV which I believe has all these options.

The 3D Prophet AIW 7500 features 64MB DDR and is shipping as I write this with a MSRP of (US) $199. The Radeon 7500 chip is fabricated in a .15 micron process and the resulting core and memory speeds have been drastically increased from the previous Radeon generation of graphic cards. Production boards shipping to retail will possess a 290MHz core/engine speed and a 230MHz memory speed (DDR memory). Armed with decent amount of current 3D technologies contained in the Radeon 7500, it arrives with additional features that take 3D performance to a very decent level.
