| WallDisplay (HX) Series in the Accelerated-X Summit product line provides graphics support for large wall display or display wall systems that employ many monitors and multiple graphics cards and/or graphics cards with multiple graphics chips. Unlike the MX Series, the HX Series has the capability to stretch a single xscreen across multiple graphics chips, resulting in what is sometimes referred to as a "stretched desktop" (single logical screen or "SLS") covering up to sixteen (16) monitors (more monitors can be supported by special request). There can be multiple "stretched desktops" mixed with monitors that have their own individual xscreens. HX Editions with the XVideo feature allow video windows to also be stretched across multiple monitors.
The configuration possibilities are enormous, and yet not difficult to configure, thanks to the config utility provided. Unlike systems based on Xorg servers, the HX Series provides hardware acceleration for each and every monitor used in the system, and each xscreen configured. Convert from Windows to Linux - Some customers have large wall displays run by MS Windows which provide "SingleLogicalScreen" (SLS) by default. When converting from Windows to open source Linux or some other UNIX system, SLS is often required in order to avoid changing applications. With Xi Graphics' HX Series, this conversion from Windows is now made easier, and the HX Series graphics software provides high-quality commercial X Window System (X) support backed by a company that has been developing its own brand of graphics sub-system X servers and graphics drivers for over fourteen years. The HX Series is available in Bornze and Silver Editions (2D only), for 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs, for Linux or Solaris kernels, on x86, and for PPC and SPARC platforms as standard product. Some highlights are listed below. A Summit Manual is available in pdf form for download.
A limited number of cards are presently supported by the HX Series (see below), but more are in the pipeline as graphics chip documentation is made available and drivers are written. Although the Xentera cards from Colorgraphic have been discontinued, they are fully supported in HX, enabling the Windows-to-Linux conversions with systems using the Xentera cards to be easily switched to Linux (or Solars) on x86 platforms. |
