Mechdyne, Scalable Graphics Partner for Sales, Integration
 MARSHALLTOWN,
IA and NANCY, France, Apr 28, 2009 - Mechdyne Corporation and Scalable
Graphics SAS announced that they have entered into a partnership for sales
and integration of advanced visualization software and services. The
companies have complementary software products that offer a combination of
performance enhancements and display and interaction options for viewing and
manipulation of desktop computer graphics applications such as CATIA,
Pro/Engineer, NX, 3ds Max, SolidWorks, ESRI, Google Earth and others in
large-scale, high-resolution display environments.
Scalable Graphics is now a reseller of Mechdyne’s software products with
particular emphasis on Conduit. Mechdyne’s Conduit software enables Open GL
applications to be displayed in advanced visualization environments including
multi-wall and multi-projector systems such as the CAVE, PowerWall, Tiled Walls
and Reality Centers. Users can easily stream their desktop visuals to any of
these environments, enhancing perspective and promoting collaboration for
faster, more intuitive design reviews and visual simulations.
Mechdyne now offers the Scalable Graphics Direct Transport Compositor (DTC),
which enables display of complex computer models at higher frame rates with
improved interaction speeds and image quality. DTC incrementally accelerates an
application’s performance by distributing the rendering across any number of
CPUs and GPUs to produce a single composite image. Additionally, DTC can reduce
image artifacts through distributed anti-aliasing techniques that can smooth
jagged edges for improved image quality.
Conduit and DTC can be used together for unprecedented scaling of both
performance and displays. With a combination of these two software tools, users
can review large models faster and experience them in ultra high resolution
advanced visualization environments.
“With these two technologies, there are no limitations to increasing
performance, display resolution and virtual reality capabilities.” said Matt
Szymanski, vice president of Mechdyne’s Software Division. “With this
partnership, Mechdyne adds a key technology that will help us meet the needs of
performance demanding customers.”
“Combining Conduit and Direct Transport Compositor enables virtually any
desktop application to be displayed in an immersive environment with stunning
visual performances, said Jan Rendek, chief marketing officer of Scalable
Graphics. “This partnership will shift the paradigms of visualization cluster
design. Visual performance can be defined by the designer, instead of being
imposed by hardware limitations.”
Turn-key integration of the software and graphics computing systems are
available through either company. Mechdyne can also include design and
installation of the advanced display environments. Professional services,
training and maintenance programs for all products are also available.
