WHITE PAPER

The ELSA GloriaSynergy+

Entry-Level 3D OpenGL Graphics

for HP Visualize Personal Workstations

Background information on the

ELSA Gloria Synergy+ andits

positioning relative to the Matrox

Millennium G200 and other

PERMEDIA-based graphics cards

TheELSA GloriaSynergy+graphics card istodaybeing deployed in modelsof each of the

HP Visualize Personal Workstations P-Classes and X-Classes. Itprovides:

•Solid entry-level3Dgraphics performance for OpenGL-basedapplicationssuch as

AutoDeskMechanicalDesktop, SolidWorks,and 3D Studio Max

•World-classhardware-accelerated 2D graphics performance forAutoCAD™

•Advanced featuressuch as multiple screen support and a 3D viewerfor AutoCAD

•Professional 2D graphics performance.

The following table summarizes the main features of the ELSA Gloria Synergy+:

Technical Features and Benefits

Feature Benefit

3D Labs’PERMEDIA 2A graphicsprocessor Withits highly pipelined architecture and texture mapping support,

PERMEDIAis the leading graphics accelerator on the market todayfor

professionalentry-level OpenGL 3D. Its integrated setup engine reduces

CPU and bus loading while providing 3D performance of up to 1M shaded

triangles/second

Integrated 250MHz RAMDAC and horizontal fre-

quencies of 31-300MHz Enables ergonomic, high-resolution refresh rates

8MB SGRAM display memory (not upgradeable) Supports screen resolutions up to 1536*1132 pixels in true color (16.7M

colors)

66MHz AcceleratedGraphics Port(AGP) bus sys-

tem Allows data transfers of up to 533MB/sec, with sideband addressing, real

pipelining, execute mode textures and DMA textures

PowerDRAFT hardware-accelerated2D driverfor

AutoCAD R13 and R14 Provides world-beating AutoCAD 2D performance (see“Leading AutoCAD

Performance and Support”on page 4) and powerful,easy-to-use tools for

AutoCAD

ELSAview3D viewer The ELSAview 3D viewer provides interactive 3D editing in AutoCADR13,

R14 and Mechanical Desktop, as well as full-featured 3D viewing, including

AutoCAD Lights, Materials, Transparency, and Named Views.Designs can

be exported in OpenInventor and VRML formats

MAXtreme driver for 3D Studio MAX 2.x TheMAXtreme OpenGL driverprovidesoptimizations for critical interactive

work in 3D StudioMAX 2.x

DirectDraw/ActiveMovie 1.0 and 2.0support Ensures compatibility with leading video standards

16/10 wide format monitor support Allows wide-formatmonitors tobe connected

Multiple monitor support By installing additional ELSA Gloria Synergy+ PCIcards,allowsup to 6

monitors to be managed simultaneously for use with technical applications

such as AutoCAD or 3D Studio Max

MPEG-2 video support(requires an upgrade) Enables smooth playback of MPEG-2 video streams

ISV support Comes with a full-featured OpenGL installable client driver (ICD), with ISV

support and certification forallmajor mid-rangeMCAD and DCC products,

includingAutoDeskMechanicalDesktop,PTCPro/Engineer,SolidWorks,UG

SolidEdge, Bentley Microstation,Kinetix 3D MAX, Caligari Truespace and

StrataStudio Pro

The ELSA Gloria Synergy+ comes with the PowerDRAFT 2D hardware accelerator.

Specially designed for AutoCAD Release 14, PowerDRAFT is the only hardware-

accelerated solution of its kind on the market today and, as the following figure shows,

provides the ELSA Gloria Synergy+ with a significant performance advantage over other

leading PERMEDIA-based cards using software-based solutions such as Vibrant’s

Softengine:

The ELSA Gloria Synergy+’s PowerDRAFT hardware-accelerated AutoCAD driver has

already won awards, while its outstanding OpenGL performance and range of features

make it an equally good choice for entry-level 3D work.

If you’re looking to choose a graphics card for your HP Kayak PC Workstation, the ELSA

Gloria Synergy+ is the right solution for entry-level OpenGL-based 3D and professional

2D applications, particularly AutoCAD.
