-
- Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
-
- To put it simply, the Apple Macintosh Quadra 840av computer is the most
- powerful, feature-rich system Apple has ever built. With an innovative
- architecture that delivers exciting new capabilities in telecommunications,
- video, and speech, the Macintosh Quadra 840av helps you communicate more
- effectively than ever before.
-
- The Macintosh Quadra 840AV combines the raw horsepower of a 40-megahertz 68040
- microprocessor with a 66-megahertz digital signal processor (DSP) to achieve
- outstanding performance. The DSP handles telecommunications, speech, and audio
- functions, allowing the 68040 processor to perform other tasks, thereby
- increasing the total system performance.
-
- The exceptional power and built-in features of the Macintosh Quadra 840AV let
- you take full advantage of exciting new audio-visual technologies. For example,
- with its built-in GeoPort telecommunications architecture, the Macintosh Quadra
- 840av can be connected with telephone systems, so you can use your computer as
- a telephone, an answering machine, a fax machine, and an electronic mail
- station. Its video capabilities let you view or capture video from a VCR, laser
- disc, or camcorder in a window. You can also connect directly to a TV to show
- your presentations or to a VCR to make videotapes.
-
- Using PlainTalk speech technology from Apple, the Macintosh Quadra 840AV can
- respond to your voice commands. And it generates CD-quality stereo sound, so
- all your audio applications sound great.
-
- In short, the Macintosh Quadra 840AV can serve as your personal communications
- center. Whether you're in the office or on the go, you can use it to work more
- efficiently and effectively than ever.
