Octane2 Workstation

The Silicon Graphics Octane2 visual workstation delivers the world's most advanced desktop visualization. Octane2 combines the ground-breaking VPro 3D graphics system, the industry-leading crossbar architecture, and the latest high-performance MIPS® processor in an affordable power desktop package.

Octane2 delivers a suite of industry-leading options including the award-winning DMediaProTM DM2 video option for the most powerful high-definition solution on the desktop. Complementing DM2 is the new DMediaPro DM5 for high-quality uncompressed HD and SD graphics-to-video output from 3D graphics, 2D imagery, and video data. Other innovative options include the Dual Head and Dual Channel Display options, which maximize your visualization resources, and the new cost-effective PowerDuo configuration, which allows two users to share the same high-performance system.
