DisplayMate Multimedia with Motion Edition is an enhanced version of the standard Multimedia Edition with the addition of a full-screen test pattern Motion Engine for evaluating motion artifacts in LCD, Plasma, DLP, LCoS, and other flat panel monitors and projectors. The Motion Engine moves all of the test patterns in a perfectly smooth and uniform motion encompassing the entire screen at the full video frame rate without any jumps, skips or stops. As a pattern moves off-screen additional copies of the image come into view so the test pattern continues to be seen full-screen. This is a unique, highly advanced, and highly specialized product for manufacturers and test labs. The motion is accomplished by controlling special hardware within the video board and the Motion Engine can only run under Windows'98/95/Me. The non-motion part of the product runs on all versions of Windows exactly like the standard Multimedia Edition.

Hardware and Operating Systems

• The Motion Engine will only work on Matrox Millennium series video boards running under Windows'95/98/Me. These restrictions arise because the motion is implemented in special onboard hardware and Windows Vista/XP/NT/2000 don't allow the needed access. We recommend the Matrox G400, G450 and G550 Millennium boards. See the Matrox Millennium G Series available directly from Matrox via Shopmatrox.com.

• When the Motion Engine is not used, this version of DisplayMate will run on any video board and any version of Windows, the same as the standard Multimedia Edition.
