The HP VISUALIZE-48[XP] is a two-board accelerated device that fills two slots. If you add either the optional texture-mapping memory card or the optional video-out card, it becomes a three-board set that fills three slots. Add both optional cards, and it becomes a four-board set, but it still fills only three slots. In any case, it has eight overlay planes, two banks of 24 image planes, and six hardware colormaps. This device provides a superset of functionality in the CRX-48Z. The hardware support for accelerating 2D Xlib primitives is similar to that in the other HCRX devices. The hardware for accelerating 3D geometry, lighting, and shading, is new.

Supported Visuals

The following visuals are supported on the HP VISUALIZE-EG(8):

•Class PseudoColor Depth 8 Layer Image - supports DBE and MBX software double-buffering

•Class TrueColor Depth 8 Layer Image -

supports DBE and MBX software double-buffering

The following visuals are supported on the HCRX-8[Z], HP [Dual] VISUALIZE-EG and HP VISUALIZE-8:

•Class PseudoColor Depth 8 Layer Image -

supports DBE and MBX hardware double-buffering

•Class PseudoColor Depth 8 Layer Overlay - (see Note) supports DBE and MBX software double-buffering

•Class TrueColor Depth 8 Layer Image -

supports DBE and MBX hardware double-buffering

____________________________________________________________________________________

Note: The two overlay visuals are mutually exclusive, based on the presence of the EnableOverlayTransparency screen option (i.e., if the EnableOverlayTransparency screen option is set, then the visual that supports transparency is available, otherwise the visual which does not support transparency is available).
