A Family of Extraordinary Graphics on Your Desktop
Indigo2 is available with a family of graphics subsystem
offerings to suit your requirements - XL, XZ or Extreme
graphics.
XL Graphics
View jpeg image (size 49K).
CPU accelerated
XL Graphics - REX3 Raster Engine A51C converts
geometric data processed by the CPU into pixel and
line data that it then writes into the framebuffer. As
CPU power increases, so does graphics performance.
Live Video l/O Slot
A port for video expansion using Indigo2
Video and Galileo Video options.
XL graphics is the entry price point into the Indigo2
product family, giving you the fastest X and 2D graphics
architecture on the market. But XL also supports 3D
through a software Z buffer and host-based geometry
calculations. Image processing, entry CAD and general science
problems are solved fast. Indigo2 comes standard with
built-in 24-bit color, crisp, 1280 x 1024 high-resolution
frame buffer, and an ergonomically comfortable 76Hz
screen refresh rate. You also get an incredible pixel fill rate
of up to 437 million pixels per second and an industry
leading 1.4 million X11 lines per second!
XZ Graphics

Command Engine
The HQ2 is an 80,000 gate device that delegates
graphics primitives to the Geometry Engine Processors.
Two Geometry Engine Multi-Chip Module
Provide 64 MFlops through an effective multi-chip module design
integrating two GE7 Geometry Engines for a total of 160,000 custom gates.
Integrated Raster Engine
The RE3 Raster Engine holds 100,000
custom gates and runs at 50 MHz

Live Video l/O Slot
A port for video expansion using Indigo2
Video and Galileo Video options.
When 2D computing isn't enough, XZ graphics is the
answer to your more intensive needs. XZ has two geometry
engines in a patented geometry pipeline architecture
delivering 64 Mflops of graphics compute performance.
The Geometry Engine design delivers 250K 3D triangles
per second for strong visualization, architecture and
MCAD performance. Professional engineers and scientists
can use XZ for working on real-world design and
technical challenges.
Extreme Graphics

Command Engine
The HQ2 is an 80,000 gate device that delegates graphics
primitives to the Geometry Engine Processors.
Eight Geometry Engines
Provide 256 MFlops through an effective multi-chip module design.

Live Video l/O Slot
A port for video expansion using Indigo2 Video and
Galileo Video options.
Extreme Graphics offers the world's fastest graphics on the
desktop. Using eight Geometry Engines, Indigo2 Extreme provides
630K triangles and 1.25 million 3D vectors per second from the 256 Mflops
of dedicated, floating-point performance for the fastest
3D graphics on the desktop. Complicated MCAD, animation and molecular
modeling projects come alive with the help of 31 custom
VLSI gate arrays with over 1.2 million gates.
A new level of performance is
achieved with Indigo.
Things happen faster, more convincingly.
Indigo2 works at the speed you work.
