The Indy workstation from Silicon Graphics is like no other. It's the only system that comes complete with everything you need to author and to serve World Wide Web content. Indy easily captures and edits digital video and digital audio, and creates stunning 3D and 2D graphics. And on top of all that, Indy has the serious processing power and fast I/O needed to serve multimedia content to the Net.
Don't let your imagination be limited by your workstation's
capabilities.
Get an Indy. And make your own waves.
The Prize
The Indy workstation we're giving away comes fully-loaded with:
We don't call this the "world processor" for nothing. In addition to the digital IndyCam connection, Indy has ports for S-video and composite analog video. So regardless of where it starts, you can bring video into your Indy -- and perform edits with the bundled MovieMaker tool, or with advanced third-party applications.
And dishing up audio is just as easy. Indy's audio interface includes line-in and line-out jacks, microphone-in and headphone-out jacks, as well as a digital I/O jack for CD-quality audio. Bundled tools, like SoundEditor, allow you to record and edit CD-quality audio clips. And the SoundFiler tool lets you perform sample rate and file format conversions. Just check out what the guys at IUMA are doing with this technology.
Of course, the Indigo Magic user environment also includes tools for
altering and enhancing color images. But to produce the killer GIF and
JPEG images you'll want to share with the world, you'll use the power
of first class graphics and imaging applications customized, optimized,
and available for Indy. Easily bring your imagination to life in two or
three dimensions. (Check out some of the coolest examples in

Built to Serve.
Some of the best news is that same Indy that allows you to author
killer HTML is also ideally suited to Web serving. That means, you
can actually get yourself or your business up-and-running
on the Web with the same machine.
To serve Web content to the Net, you need a powerful UNIX system (and preferably one that is easy-to-use and affordable). You need a machine that combines a powerful RISC microprocessor, a robust system architecture (267 megabytes per second system bus throughput recommended), and fast I/O (like, built-in SCSI-2, ethernet, and ISDN). Obviously, then, what you need is an Indy from Silicon Graphics.
It should come as no surprise then, that Indy has become the system of choice for most Web pioneers, like Wired magazine. Their new, ground-breaking publication, HotWired, is created with and served by Indy workstations. HotWired gets over 300,000 hits a day from Net surfers around the globe. And their creative combination of graphics, hypertext, music, and video is served entirely by two Indys.
Of course, if you anticipate that your Web site will get really popular, it may become time to dedicate your Indy to authoring, and to put your multimedia Web content on a dedicated server. And that's when you'll appreciate the additional power of a Challenge S (or even bigger) server from Silicon Graphics.
