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.
Leadership performance that is scalable and affordable... HP VISUALIZE

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.
