64-bit Supercomputers
for Video and DVD Creation
The world’s fastest 64-bit personal computers, the Power Mac G5 combines rock solid
engineering reflective of the full-throttle Xserve architecture with massively enhanced
output and connectivity. Available at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a ultra-high band-
width system architecture featuring AGP 8X and PCI-X, these turbocharged computers rip
through digital video and audio projects faster than Pentiums can say “uncle”. With the
64-bit PowerPC G5 processor supporting up to 8GB of 400MHz, 128-bit DDR SDRAM
and fast 6.4 GBps throughput, you can write large projects to memory 40x faster than to
a hard disk.
Available in three powerful configurations — 1.6GHz, and dual 1.8GHz and 2GHz
models, they each feature the legendary 4X SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW), three PCI-X
slots, one FireWire 800 and two FireWire 400 ports, three USB 2.0 ports (plus two USB 1.1
ports on the keyboard), ADC connector, DVI connector, analog audio I/O, optical S/PDIF
I/O, front headphone and speaker jack and built-in Gigabit Ethernet — as standard.
Finally, each Power Mac G5 is supported by Mac OS X’s robust foundation, which features
multithreading and symmetric multiprocessing for an additional performance boost.
FEATURES
Exceptional Performance
◆ The latest in PCI technology, the PCI-X
protocol is perfect for high-performance
PCI devices, increasing speeds from
33MHz to 133MHz and throughput from
266MBps to 2GBps.
◆ Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, USB 2.0 and
optical digital and analog audio are all
integrated through two bidirectional 16-
bit, 800MHz HyperTransport intercon-
nects for a maximum throughput of 3.2GB
per second.
◆ Ultra-high bandwidth system architecture
features a 1GHz frontside bus — one on
each processor — for maximum through-
put. And a point-to-point system controller
lets data move directly between subsystems,
without affecting processor function.
◆
Designed for whisper-quiet operation, the
Power Mac G5’s enclosure houses four dis-
crete thermal zones to compartmentalize
the primary heat-producing components.
◆ The Power Mac G5’s built-in handles will
come in handy the day you need to move
all your stuff into that corner office you’ve
always had your eye on.
iDVD
DVD Authoring Software
The SuperDrive comes with the soft-
ware needed to create your own DVDs
— faster than ever before. With iDVD
preinstalled, the Power Mac G5 is a
complete DVD production studio. And
it’s the fastest on the planet, too.
◆ There’s no easier way to create quality
DVDs and share your photos, movies and
music with friends and family than with
iDVD. Offering tight drag-and-drop
integration with the other apps in the iLife
suite, iDVD also gives you breathtaking
themes, slideshow options, higher quality
longer length DVDs, and innovative
organizational tools.
◆ iDVD renders video, automatically creates
submenus from chapter markers you set in
place and quickly burns your project onto
inexpensive DVD-R media that can hold
up to two hours of video.
◆ Add transitions to the slideshows and
menus. Make the background for your new
DVD menu dissolve with a drop of water
into the movie of your latest vacation.
◆ Don’t worry about running out of room on
the disc. Resource meter built into iDVD
keeps track of how much storage space you
have left for your movies, photos and music.
◆
Keynote makes it a snap to create cinema-
quality presentations with professional-cal-
iber themes, razor-sharp text and beautiful
charts and tables. Make layered images with
transparent graphics and text, and adjust the
transparency of each layer as you choose.
