PC/INTERGRAPH
Use a standard 15 pin male to 15 pin male (VGA) cable(s) to connect the V6 control box to your graphics
boards(s). Two graphics boards (channels) are required for stereoscopic viewing (i.e. one for left eye
viewpoint and one for right eye viewpoint.) Change the video output format of your graphics to
standard VGA (640 x 480 60Hz). For example, Windows NT users will go to:
Control Panel / Settings / Display
Select 640 x 480 as the screen resolution, and 60Hz frame rate. Users may connect their monitor to the
V6 control box “Monitor Output” connector via another VGA cable to view the same image that’s seen
in the HMD.
O2
Like the PC configuration above, use a standard 15 pin male to 15 pin male (VGA) cable to connect the
V6 control box to the Monitor connector on the rear of your O2. Since the O2 only has the one graphics
output, stereoscopic (3D) viewing is not possible. Use the “setmon” command to change the video
format output (vfo) to standard VGA (640x480 60Hz). Those users not familiar with the “setmon”
command should contact Silicon Graphics or run a “man” page on the “setmon” command for further
details. The “setmon” command should look something like:
%/usr/gfx/setmon 640x480_60.vfo
Users may connect their O2 monitor to the V6 control box “Monitor Output” connector via another
VGA cable to view the same image that’s seen in the HMD.
INDIGO IMPACT
The standard Indigo Impact does not support a VGA graphics format, only higher resolution
workstation formats like 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768. V6 users have the following 3 options to choose
from.
Option 1 - Silicon Graphics offers Impact customers the Impact Channel Option (ICO) which supports
many different graphics formats including VGA (640 x 480 60Hz). Use the “setmon” command to change
the video format outputs (vfo) of the ICO to the VGA (640x480 60Hz) format found among the list of
available vfo’s. Those users not familiar with the “setmon” command should contact Silicon Graphics
or run a “man” page on the “setmon” command for further details. The “setmon” command should look
something like:
%/usr/gfx/setmon 640x480_60_ext
