ICE only works with the IRIX operating system, as this is the only system that has drivers capable of taking advantage of this device. This enables to do video decoding and audio tasks that would require a much faster CPU if done without SIMD instructions. ICE operates on eight 16-bit or sixteen 8-bit integers, but still provides a significant amount of computational power. ICE operates at 66 MHz and contains R3000/ R5000/ R52000/ R7000/ R10000/ R12000 -derived microprocessor serving as the scalar unit to which a 128-bit SIMD unit is attached using the MIPS coprocessor interface. The SGI O2 workstation has an Imaging and Compression Engine (ICE) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for processing streaming media and still images.

Software tools, and applications related to video, audio, and compression. This paper addresses high-level sgi o2 workstation features, underlying technology. Including video and audio capture, playback, editing, compression, and decompression. Unrivaled capabilities for digital media creation and manipulation. Becomes an easy desktop task with the rich suite of digital media tools bundled.Īn extremely high-bandwidth memory architecture, dedicated engines for image and video processing.Ī suite of digital media tools gives the SGI® sgi o2 workstation. Preparing video and audio clips for delivery through the World Wide Web or videotape. In manufacturing and other industries, video collaboration tools help teams work together better through both the Internet and the intranet. They produce on-air effects for weather graphics, sports annotation, and other real-time visuals. In the medical imaging market,sgi o2 workstations are sought for the visualization of ultrasound information in place of expensive proprietary hardware.Īlso, being adopted by broadcast teams. Systems are in demand by game and video producers for cost-effective nonlinear video editing, compositing, 2D Paint, and 3D modeling and animation systems. Bundled Mac®/PC/Windows NT® connectivity software and standard high-speed network connections.Īllow systems to be easily incorporated into a mixed production environment. Industry-standard memory and disk drives help keep costs low. As a result, the affordable workstation is an ideal platform for enabling a diverse range of applications. It was a primary goal for the original product development team. which includes hardware-accelerated texture mapping and real-time Motion-JPEG video compression and decompression. The workstation from SGI makes advanced digital media technology accessible to every customer in any market.įully integrating the sgi o2 workstation digital media functionality. The workstation sgi o2 used a single MIPS Processor and was intended to be used mainly for multimedia. Advance Digital Media Capabilities in a Value-Rich UNIX Desktop Visual Workstation.

A Unix workstation was introduced in 1996 by Silicon Graphics (SGI) known as sgi o2 workstation.
