Orad VR-X compositor hardware subsystem links together any number of ImaGen image generation servers to produce a single unified output image to any desired level of photorealism.
For example, the power of individual ImaGen servers can be assigned to render specific subsets of an image in parallel.
Subset images are automatically assembled by Orad VR-X to produce a total image in unprecedented aggregate speeds of up to 1.3 billion polygons and 21 billion pixels per second.
