Why Mediator?

Do you need your Amiga to display crystal-clear image up to 2048x1536x32@75?
Do you want your favourite games run in accelerated graphics? Take a PCI graphic card from the Voodoo family and enjoy its 2D and 3D performance.

Care for superb high-quality music?
Just install the inexpensive, high-quality Sound Blaster sound PCI card and play your MP3 files in the 16-bit resolution.

Want fast network connections to surf the net?
Put a low-cost RTL8139 Fast Ethernet 100Mbps PCI card into the Mediator slot and connect your computer to the network.

Do you want to watch and capture your favourite TV programmes?
The TV tuner PCI card allows you not only watching TV... you can also connect a TV-SAT tuner, a camcorder or a digital camera. Although the full TV image resolution runs at 30 fps in the PIP window on your Workbench screen, it does not use the Amiga processor's time at all.

And all this is possible NOW, with the MEDIATOR.
