From University Video Communications' catalog: "A fast yet inexpensive workstation graphics system has been built trough the use of high levels of integration and a system-level design approach. This graphics system consists of the Artist graphics controller chip, a handful of VRAMs and a minimal amount of additional circuitry. The goals of this system were to provide a very fast 2D graphical user interface, digital video decompression support and efficient 3D graphics. These goals were accomplished by adding special functionality to the Artist chip and by making optimal CPU/graphics hardware trade-offs." Lot number: X6636.2013 Catalog number: 102624796
