Press ReleasesTeraRecon Advances Volume Rendering Technology for Complex 3D & 4D Multi-Gigabyte Datasets San Mateo, CA--October 16, 2003: TeraRecon, today announced a powerful new addition to the VolumePro® 1000 family of real-time 3D hardware rendering boards for the visualization of extremely large volumetric datasets in mission critical applications. Visualizing and analyzing 3D / 4D volume data is an essential requirement for medical imaging, scientific computing, seismic interpretation, cluster computing, and industrial visualization applications. Without VolumePro®, volumetric datasets exceeding a few hundred megabytes simply cannot be efficiently handled by today's PCs. VolumePro® 1000D delivers no-compromise rendering performance, image quality, and cost-effectiveness for handing these most demanding 3D and 4D volumetric datasets on standard desktop computers. The VolumePro® 1000D is a timely, powerful and cost-effective solution for OEMs. For the first time volume datasets larger than 2 GB can be easily visualized in real-time on standard, inexpensive Windows, Linux, or SUN computers. Up to 12 GB of seismic data can be rendered on a multi-board equipped PC. The VolumePro® 1000D contains two ASIC engines mounted on a single VolumePro® PCI board, delivering up to twice the performance as a single VolumePro® 1000 board in a single PCI slot. The VolumePro® 1000D is offered in two memory configurations: 2GB and 4GB per board. Multiple boards can be utilized on single desktop computers or in the nodes of cluster computers allowing customers to scale their systems for extremely demanding visualization requirements. Dual ASIC engines with 4GB memory on each single board offers a powerful upgrade for TeraRecon's AquariusNET Server family, allowing up to 16GB of memory in a single enterprise server. TeraRecon's patented VolumePro® 1000D is a significant technological advance in the area of 3D and 4D computer graphics, achieving unsurpassed levels of performance and functionality. Extraordinary image quality is achieved via XY image order rendering and powerful gradient based lighting calculations. Real-time interaction with very large volume datasets is made possible via dedicated on-board high-speed memory. About TeraRecon, Inc. Contact:
