Sophisticated Shaders NVIDIA Quadro FX by PNY fully programmable architecture enables end users to utilize sophisticated vertex and pixel shaders during the production process to simulate reality. Specialized lighting effects (fresnel effects, chromatic dispersion, reflection, refraction, rim lighting and more) and physical surface properties (casting effects, porosity, molded surfaces) can be combined and modified in real time to simulate an unlimited range of physical characteristics. Collaborative Design Review NVIDIA Quadro FX by PNY is a highend visualization solution which provides large-scale interactive graphics performance and the highest visual quality for single and multidisplay environments. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G by PNY allows applications to sync video refresh and buffer swaps across multiple systems for full-scale, multi-system reality centers for collaborative engineering and design reviews. The NVIDIA
Quadro FX 3000G by PNY can also sync to standard video signal formats (house-sync signals) providing the ultimate video post-processing, editing or broadcast solutions. Genlock/Framelock Multi-system Powerwalls and visual simulation applications utilize the frames synchronization capabilities for commercial/military flight, maritime and driving simulators to provide photo realistic views of an environment as seen from a cockpit, window or control panel. Command/control centers depend on high quality access to imagery and surveillance data for mission-critical applications. In this application, all systems must be linked so that the refresh rate, when the display starts drawing graphics, is in sync. In applications where framesynch is not enabled, the user (the "pilot") would experience image "tearing" that would ruin the visualization experience. Another example of the Framelock feature advantage is a Powerwall application. In this example, three workstations drive three projectors
3rd-GENERATION VERTEX AND PIXEL PROGRAMMABILITY Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects (such as fresnel effects, chromatic dispersion, reflection, refraction, etc.) and surface properties (such as casting effects, molded surfaces etc.).
showcasing a new automobile on three continuous screens. Workstation projector 1 drives the left screen, workstation 2 drives the middle screen and workstation 3 drives the right screen – the result is a continuous uninterrupted image of the vehicle. Single-System Powerwall (Available for NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100, 3000, 3000G, 4000 by PNY) Workstation software applications can be projected through a single system, dual-channel Powerwall with NVIDIA’s single-system Powerwall technology. The new technology enables digital overlap and sophisticated edge-blending for uniform luminosity without the need for expensive projection equipment.
