	hp visualization center sv6 architecture
	This section discusses a general overview of how the hardware is used by
	the hp visualization center sv6 architecture, using a 16-pipe system as
	an example:
Figure 2-5	16-pipe System Architecture

The 16-pipe system contains 16 hp workstations j6000 (A5990A) or j6700 (A7278A) which perform the 3D rendering. Each of these machines

contain the hp fx10 Graphics Accelerator Card (A1299B). Each fx10 DVI (Digital Video Interface) output connects to an input of the digital compositor (A6061A).
