HP Graphics Technology

Product Brief
Hewlett-Packard VISUALIZE Graphics technology provides superior 
performance at affordable prices. It offers graphical solutions 
for mechanical design, electrical design, architectural engineering, 
geographical information systems, technical software development, 
scientific visualization, and visual simulation, among others. With 
performance as high as 424 PLBsurf and 365 PLBwire (on HP VISUALIZE
-48XP), HP continues to extend the graphics high-end by offering the 
world's fastest integrated 3D graphics.

With HP VISUALIZE Graphics, your investment is secure. As your 
computational performance needs change, the HP VISUALIZE Graphics 
design and its closely coupled CPU architecture provide for 
performance scaling with significant improvements in the CPU 
performance. To further accelerate the graphics performance, the
HP VISUALIZE graphics architecture adds dedicated PA-RISC floating 
point-based geometry accelerators to the graphics board.

HP VISUALIZE-48XP
* World's 3D desktop graphics performance leader
* 424 PLBsurf, 365 PLBwire (world's fastest PLB benchmarks)
* More than 2.5x faster than SGI R10000 Maximum Impact
* 24-bit true-color double buffering
* 16MB texture memory and video-out support

HP VISUALIZE-IVX
* World's 2D imaging price/performance leader
* Display performance of 40+ million pixels per second enables 
  real-time dynamic interaction with 2D sensory data
* Target markets include: medical imaging, military imaging 
  (photographic, radar, infrared, sonar data), and geographic
  Information Systems

HCRX-8/24
* One of the fastest 2D vector graphics accelerators available. The 
  HCRX-8 provides 8/8 double buffering while the HCRX-24 provides 
  12/12 double buffering for smooth rotations of complex 3D wire 
  frames. HCRX-8 and HCRX-24 provide overlay planes for fast non
  -destructive menuing and hardware-assisted video decompression for 
  real-time video playback. The HCRX-24 offers 24 planes for full 24
  -bit graphics accuracy and 16.7 million colors. The HCRX-8 uses the 
  patented HP Color Recovery technology for approximately 4 million 
  colors in 8 planes.

* These graphics accelerators are best suited for 2D ECAD, 3D wire
  -frame and 8- or 24- bit imaging used in scientific visualization, 
  GIS, or design analysis.

Freedom Series from HP
* The Freedom Series offers superior OpenGL performance and supports
  advanced features such as full scene anti-aliasing, stencil planes, 
  accumulation buffers and tri-linear MIP mapped texture mapping. It 
  offers scalable performance through the addition of more performance 
  modules (up to 8).

* The Freedom Series from HP is uniquely suited for geometry-rich OpenGL 
  applications that use texture mapping found in advanced visualization 
  and visual simulation.

ProVision 10
* The ProVision 10 is an EISA bus expansion chassis containing single,
  dual, or triple VPX rendering cards for high-performance, photo
  -textured, shaded, stereo graphics.

* The ProVision 10 system is completely integrated with an assortment of 
  Virtual Reality peripherals for tracking movements, navigating in 3D
  space, becoming visually immersed, using audio capabilities including 
  3D spatial sound, and using haptic devices for a sense of touch.

* Division Incorporated is a leading supplier of Virtual Reality 
  solutions, including hardware, software, and consulting services.

* Division's dVISE and dVS software packages for virtual reality 
  authoring and collaborative virtual prototyping can also be used 
  with HP VISUALIZE-48 and -48XP graphics to a monitor display 
  allowing navigation with a mouse or spaceball.
