ATI Technologies Inc. today announced the introduction of a remarkable new innovation in driver usability, CATALYST™ Control Center.
Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, CATALYST Control Center is a modular suite of applications designed to simplify driver configuration and customization, while maximizing 3D performance. The introduction of CATALYST Control Center signals an evolution in PC graphics technology, with mainstream consumers now having the ability to substantially improve their user experience through a simple “point and click” interface. "By publishing a standard interface and adopting a modular architecture based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, ATI has delivered a flexible and open interface for developers of graphics-intensive applications,” said Charles Fitzgerald, General Manager, Developer & Platform Evangelism, Microsoft Corp. "The CATALYST Control Center architecture enables third-party customers to rapidly develop and deliver new exciting features using familiar development tools and skills, increasing developer and end-user productivity and enhancing the PC experience without compromising driver stability." The CATALYST Control Center experience begins with the desktop manager, an innovative tool that guides users through the process of easily configuring their displays. The real-time 3D rendering preview panel enables users to visually see the impact of adjusting performance on their system. Personalization is taken to a new level through assignable hot keys and customizable profiles for applications, video and gaming. Previously, these kinds of capabilities were unavailable or extremely difficult for the average user to expose. Design innovation has also been enhanced through the availability of multiple skins. In addition users can design their own skins with customized look, feel and content for use in their computing environment.
