Graphics Options to Fit Your Needs

The Indy(tm) workstation from Silicon Graphics(r) delivers the most advanced visual computing technology directly to your desktop. Indy offers a variety of graphics options to users ranging from MCAD designers and graphic artists to scientists and medical professionals. Indy XZ provides hardware-accelerated 3D performance for power graphics users, while Indy XL subsystems are optimized for running CPU-based graphics at blazing speed.

Outstanding Performance

Experience incredible application performance with 3D and 2D graphics. The power of Indy is based on a high bandwidth 64-bit system architecture featuring the newest and fastest processors in the MIPS(r) RISC R4000(r) CPU technology family, a 267MB/sec system bus, and 400MB/sec memory bus.

Indy XZ - Accelerated 3D with an Attitude

The Indy XZ graphics subsystem uses Silicon Graphics Geometry Engine(r) graphics accelerators to manipulate large 3D models and images. With 128 Mflops of dedicated graphics compute performance fed by a high throughput system bus, your 3D graphics and imaging applications will run with amazing speed. Indy XZ is a full 24-bit color system with a 24-bit Z buffer. This subsystem is ideal for those who require affordable access to accelerated 3D.

Indy 24-Bit XL - True Color with Advanced Imaging

The Indy 24-bit XL graphics subsystem incorporates preeminent graphics technology, moving up to 51M pixels/sec and drawing up to 1.6M X lines/sec. It supports advanced features like alpha blending, texture mapping, and anti-aliased RGB lines and points. The Indy 24-bit XL subsystem provides high-speed true color image and graphics manipulation at an affordable price for publishing, compositing, and paint applications, making it perfect for the graphic arts, medical, and film and video markets.

Indy 8-Bit XL - 3D CAD and General Computing

The Indy 8-bit XL graphics subsystem supports Virtual 24(TM) color (8-bit dithered) and up to 1.6M X11 line performance. Delivering up to 800K 3D vectors/sec and 64K Tmesh/sec, Indy 8-bit XL is ideal for enterprise 3D CAD systems as well as for general scientific computing.

For the 24-bit graphics XL and 8-bit XL subsystems, Indy uses the CPU and system memory for 3D geometry capabilities and Z-buffering to deliver unmatched features and functionality without increasing system price.

Flexible and Expandable

Multiple CPU and graphics modules are available to choose from, and memory and disk are upgradable. You can invest in the technology you need today and still retain future upgrade paths.

Plays in Many Fields

Over 1,800 applications that are binary compatible with Silicon Graphics systems, and a rich feature set, make Indy ideal for many markets:
