Invent in real time and real size.

Imagine the power when teams are able to interact with their designs in real time and conduct reviews at full size. The HP Visualization Center sv7 pushes high-end visualization closer to your design teams with unlimited resolutions, image sizes, and performance levels.

What were once component level designs, integrated at manufacturing, have become complete digital prototypes-designed, tested, manufactured and sold practically before metal is even cut. With the success of the entire product design in the balance, accurate real-time visualization of complete digital prototypes is imperative.

Only the HP Visualization Center sv7 empowers designers and engineers to review, collaborate and visualize their designs as they exist in real life, with photo-realistic image quality, at a level of performance and interactivity that keeps pace with their thought processes. Not only is the HP Visualization Center sv7 a solution that grows as your needs grow—to match power to problem size but also a multi-use architecture. You can use idle render nodes as individual design stations or a compute cluster. Now, you can work concurrently and collaboratively across the extended enterprise to harvest the collective experience and insight of your entire organization.

  Feature Benefit Advantage
Performance Application visualization performance Each graphics pipe has the whole bandwidth of the HP xw8200 Workstation with NVIDIA FX 3400 graphics (maximum 8 systems per display). Each pipe renders in parallel only what is visible in its display region. Truly interactive visualization viewing large, complex models. When model complexity is high, this performance makes the difference between a highly productive and immersive collaborative environment and an intolerably slow and frustrating experience.
Image quality Full visual fidelity of fine grain detail and surface edges Up to 64 independent pixel samples are computed and then blended down to the resolution capabilities of the display device. A very high quality image without the "jaggies and crawlies" normally associated with computer graphics.
Resolution and image size Each pipeline supports up to 1600 x 1200 resolution and can be configured in an m x n matrix to drive massive high resolution power walls. Each pipeline can be overlapped to create a seamless display, or they may be edge matched or use a negative overlap to compensate for any frame that might exist between display panels. Increased resolution improves image quality and accuracy; increased screen real estate enables individuals and teams to quickly absorb contextual information and cause and effect relationships. It also eliminates the loss of concentration when forced to zoom in to see detail and zoom out to see context.
Flexibility Allows users to select the level of performance, image quality and resolution independent of each other. Users can allocate graphics pipes on the fly to be used toward performance image quality or a combination of the two. Users can interact with an image and enjoy at high performance levels, then instantly switch to the highest image quality to study a particular line of sight.
Native Active and Passive Stereo Native Active and Passive Stereo is supported per display channel and is synchronized across all graphics pipelines. Active Stereo supports resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 per display channel (100 Hz refresh rate). Left and right eye Passive Stereo is supported at resolutions of 1280 x 1024 (up to 100 Hz refresh rate). Visualize models with life-like 3D realism, immersing the team in their design.
Scalability HP Scalable Visualization Architecture HP solution can scale to map a solution to your problem size Architecture scales in performance, resolution and image quality. Users can start small and grow the solution as their requirements change.
Utility Flexible multi-use architecture Each render node adds a fully functional HP xw8200 Workstation to the network. Maximize compute and visualization resources within the organization.
Transparent application support Standard HP-UX OpenGL applications are supported. No code modifications are required. Qualified display list based applications will scale performance along with image quality and resolution. Applications that know nothing about multi-pipe architectures and scalable scene antialiasing capabilities now support them transparently. The same application tool sets that are deployed in your engineering and research environments are supported.
