TeraVision: Visualization Streaming Over Optical Networks |
![]() |
![]() Two Boxes can be used to stream stereoscopic computer graphics. Multiple Boxes can be used for an entire tiled display. TeraVision synchronizes both image capture at the source and image display at the destination. By decoupling image generation from image capture and transmission, the host graphics system operates at optimal frame rates. In five years, TeraVision will be like Television, enabling scientists to simply dial into their streamed visualization. For a 20-node tiled display, they will need ~10Gbps without image compression. This provides a resolution of 5120 x 3072 in 24-bit color at 30 frames per second.
