History
The company was best known for its Jeronimo and Gemini product lines, and for the HydraVision display management software.[1] The main competitor for Appian on the multi-monitor solutions market was STB Systems.
The company was acquired in July 2001 by Colorgraphic Communications, Inc., which ceased business in 2007 or 2008.[2][3]
Appian Graphics originally developed HydraVision in the late 1990s[4] for their multi-head display solutions. ATI Technologies acquired[5] HydraVision in July 2001 along with Appian's HydraVision team to join its then-new dual-head Radeon 7500 and 8500 series.
