Image Generator System
Real Time Rendering Engine
- Renderings of 500,000 fully textured, shaded, and anti-aliased polygons per channel, peak performance of over 4 million polygons at 60 Hz
- Renderings of 200,000 light points in day/night/dusk at 60 Hz
- Multi-channel (viewport) single PC configurations
- Synchronized multi-channel capability using hardware Genlock solutions
- Auto-alignment and channel edge blending for continuous multi-window applications without performance penalty
- Database paging and texture compression for uninterrupted training through high-resolution geo-specific databases
- Multiple light sources (ambient light, spotlights, steerable search lights, landing lights, etc.)
- Dynamic scene management and FOV based dynamic LOD control
- Baked emissive cultural references
