AVIVO has previously been heard of under a couple of different guises, "Clarity" being one and "Kaleidoscope" being a more frequently heard reference, however the Clarity codename probably gives a better indication as to its use. AVIVO is the umbrella name for ATI?s video and display pipeline technologies. The AVIVO term spans both the capture and encode technologies, covered by ATI's Theater products, as well as the new video decode, post processing and display pipeline. As the AVIVO decode, post process and display pipeline spans the full range of ATI's next generation graphics, from integrated all the way up to the high end R520 products, ATI are giving a quick insight into the technology prior to the release of the next generation 3D graphics parts.
