What SGI systems can be used?
Silicon Graphics O2 or Indy. This would normally be sourced locally by
the customer and not be supplied by Pandora. This is because the
Silicon Graphics system is not modified and then has full local SGI
support. However if preferred, complete systems can be supplied by
Pandora.
What is the minimum specification for an O2?
Any O2 Workstation with analog or digital Video I/O option, 256MB
Memory, 4GB hard Disk with IRIX 6.5.5 (or newer) or 6.3
The 6.3 system software must be the R10000 version, as this has
some required bug fixes. To check if the O2 has the correct version,
see the SGI system check notes.
The Video I/O option is essential for the Platinum.
There is no advantage to using R10000 or R12000 O2 systems, also
they cost more!!
What is the minimum specification for an Indy?
Any Indy with 8-bit or 24-bit colour, 256MB, 4GB hard disk with IRIX
6.5.5 (or newer) or 6.2.
With 24-bit graphics, the thumbnail images will be higher quality,
but this is not essential for Platinum. When running the Philips
Datacine data transfer program images will be improved using 24bit
graphics.
