product overview

visualization center hp visualization center sv6 cluster is made up of one 2D master node and a supported number of 3D slave nodes. The 2D node is responsible for rendering the GUI and X11 rendering primitives. The 3D slave nodes, also called “pipes,” are responsible for rendering all or some part of the 3D scene. The video output from each node is then combined, or composited, to a single monitor.

To obtain multiple channels of output, multiple clusters can be used. A “channel” refers to one output device, typically a monitor. This allows for more screen “real estate” (two or three displays) by using multiple hp visualization center sv6 clusters.
