1 Introduction
Congratulations! In choosing Intense 3D Pro 3600, you are equipping
your personal computer or personal workstation with powerful and
professional 3D graphics. Intense 3D Pro 3600 infuses Intel Pentium
Pro and Pentium II computers running the Microsoft Windows NT
operating system with workstation-class 3D graphics features and
performance.
Features
Intense 3D Pro 3600 offers these high-end 3D graphics features:
u
Performance up to 2.6 million triangles per second (3D,
Z-buffered, 25 pixel, Gouraud shaded).
u
Support for Windows NT graphics -- Graphic Device Interface
(GDI) and OpenGL.
u
Support for resolutions up to 1.3 megapixels (1280 x 1024).
u
Support for Heidi and Intergraph RenderGL graphics libraries.
1
u
Support for graphics features such as Gouraud shading, 2D and
3D vectors and triangles, texture processing, rectangle fills,
antialiased vectors, clipping, alpha blending, fog, and stenciling.
u
16 MB of Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) frame buffer
memory.
u
64 MB of SDRAM texture memory.
u
Video plane sets of 100 bits per pixel (at 1280 x 1024), 128 bits
per pixel (up to 1152 x 864), and four video lookup tables.
u
10-bit gamma correction.
u
24- or 32-bit double-buffering and 24-bit Z-buffering.
u
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface with direct
memory access (DMA).
u
Genlock support for multi-screen capability.
u
Integrated VGA video support.
u
Support for industry standard and Intergraph multi-sync monitors.
2
u
Hardware support for stereoscopic viewing, Display Data Channel
(DDC), and Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS).
u
Multi-screen capability is available by using multiple Intense 3D
Pro 3600 cards (up to four cards to drive four screens).
Hardware Requirements
Intense 3D Pro 3600 hardware requires these expansion slots:
Number of Screens
Single screen One PCI slot
Multiple screens (up to four) One PCI slot per screen
Software
Intense 3D Pro 3600 uses the Intense 3D video display driver. The
video display driver installs as a standard Windows NT driver, and
provides both GDI and OpenGL graphics compatibility.
Intense 3D Pro 3600 can use Intergraph’s Heidi Device Driver, which
works with the video display driver to support software applications
based on the Heidi graphics library.
Intense 3D Pro 3600 also works with applications built with
Intergraph’s RenderGL graphics library. RenderGL works with
OpenGL to enable hardware acceleration of high-quality,
photorealistic features on 3D models.
Expansion Slots
2 Preparing for Installation
Follow these instructions to prepare your computer for Intense 3D Pro
3600.
Make Sure Your Computer Is Ready
Make sure your IBM PC-compatible computer has the following:
u
A Pentium Pro or Pentium II processor.
u
A high-resolution multi-sync analog RGB monitor.
u
Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
u
3 MB of free space on the computer’s hard disk.
u
PCI expansion slots that support PCI bus mastering.

bus.
Take Antist atic Precautions
3
Static electricity can damage the components inside a computer or on
a printed circuit card. To keep the possibility of electrostatic discharge
to a minimum, do the following:
u
Turn off power to the computer.
u
Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static
electricity before touching a card.
u
Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap when handling a
card or working in a computer.
u
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
u
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
u
Do not remove a card from its antistatic bag until you are ready to
install it.
u
Handle a card as little as possible and by the edges only.
