Clicking the “E-Doc Update” option launches your web browser and opens the documentation page on the Dynamic Pictures web site.
Performance Tuning Although you can achieve industry-leading graphics performance using the default settings of your software applications and Oxygen card, you can enhance performance in particular areas through selective allocation of hardware resources and customization of application configuration files.
Oxygen Control Panel The Oxygen 3D control panel is Dynamic Pictures’ graphical user interface for viewing and setting options relevant to your Oxygen card. Many graphics applications use the full range of features offered by the Oxygen card. However, certain software applications focus only on one or two areas, and do not utilize other features at all.
Oxygen Status Page Figure 15: Oxygen Control Panel (Oxygen Status) At-a-glance, the Oxygen Status page (Figure 15) provides current information about your Oxygen card installation and configuration. Model Identifies the particular model number of the Oxygen card installed in your system. Total Graphics Memory Total amount of memory available on your Oxygen card. Allocation of this memory for texture mapping, z-buffering, etc. is made according to your performance optimization selections.
Display Resolution Indicates the current resolution being used by your monitor. Not all of the resolution settings supported by your monitor necessarily offer accelerated 3D performance. For a list of resolutions supported by your Oxygen card, refer to the Monitor Resolution Tables on page 38. Pixel Depth Identifies the number of color planes (known as bits) stacked on top of each other to create a pixel.
Memory Options Page Figure 16: Oxygen Control Panel (Memory Options) The Memory Options page (Figure 16) shows how much memory is allocated based on the settings you selected in the Display control panel, as well as how much memory is available for texture mapping and other features. Performance of the Oxygen 102 card is optimized using 1024x768 resolution with 16-bit color, double buffered for many applications.
Z-Buffer The Oxygen 3D Family supports 16-bit or 24-bit Z-buffers. The default depth is 16-bit. Dynamic Pictures recommends that you leave this setting unchanged except when you are working with very large models and see undesirable artifacts. Increased Z-buffer precision will allocate up to 24-bits for Z-buffering, although the actual depth will depend on available memory. Selecting None will turn off the Z-buffer, and all 3D acceleration.
Advanced Options Page Figure 17: Oxygen Control Panel (Advanced Options) The Advanced Options page (Figure 17) enables you to set various application or platform specific parameters that can affect performance. A series of check boxes let you enable or disable certain features. Adjust for model imprecision When checked, hardware sub-pixel precision is used to eliminate distortion resulting from 3D model imprecision.
Use mip-mapping texture calculations If checked, mip-mapping will be used for texture calculation when requested by an OpenGL application. If disabled, only the largest map will be used and texture calculations will be done with bi-linear sampling. Mip-mapping is disabled by default for maximum OpenGL application performance. Heidi applications are unaffected. Sync buffer swap to vertical refresh If enabled, double buffer swapping occurs during your monitor’s vertical blank period.
Enable Back Buffer Copy Mode This option optimizes performance of Kinetix 3D Studio MAX R2. Used in conjunction with settings in 3D Studio MAX R2, double buffer swapping is performed by copying the contents of the back buffer into the front buffer. The contents of the back buffer will remain unchanged. If disabled, front and back buffer contents are actually swapped, which is faster for most applications. Refer to page 34 for more information about specific settings within 3D Studio MAX R2.
Support Information Page Figure 18: Oxygen Control Panel (Support Information) The Support Information page (Figure 18) contains basic support contact details, as well as an OpenGL system test. Click the “Test” button to verify that your Oxygen drivers are installed properly. This test will bring up a dialog box stating whether a basic test of OpenGL acceleration passes, indicating successful installation and operation of your Oxygen card.
Oxygen Software Partners Your Oxygen card has been tested with a variety of graphics software packages. As testing continues and performance optimizations are made, the results and techniques are posted on the Dynamic Pictures web site as well as the web sites of our software partners. Software Application 3D Studio MAX Lightscape LightWave 3D MicroStation Pro/ENGINEER SDRC I-DEAS Softimage|3D SolidWorks 97 Unigraphics Web Site http://www.ktx.com/ http://www.lightscape.com/ http://www.newtek.
Softimage||\|3D You must set the environment variable SI_OVERLAY=USE_ONE_BIT since Oxygen drivers are optimized for this setting. In this mode, one bit will be used to display an overlay plane. Softimage may attempt to put more than one bit of overlays into the overlay plane if the SI_OVERLAY variable is not set. Setting this variable can be accomplished in the System Control Panel.
If you are rendering a scene in which the background stays relatively constant and there is little action in the foreground, you might want to alter your application and Oxygen settings. 1) Open the Oxygen 3D control panel Advanced Options page and click on the “Enable back buffer copy mode” option. 2) In 3D Studio MAX, open the page: File/Preferences/Viewports and click on the “Configure Driver” button.
Due to 3D back buffer and Z-buffer requirements, not all resolutions can satisfy both 2D and 3D requests for LightWave Modeler. Try changing resolutions for optimal performance. Proceed to the Memory Options page in the control panel. Since LightWave is heavily reliant on texture mapping, make sure that you select the “Optimize for memory utilization” radio button in the Texture Memory box.
Display Resolutions and Settings A monitor that supports 1024x768 resolution at 75 Hz vertical refresh rate is the minimum recommended for use with Oxygen. Choose a resolution, number of colors, and refresh rate that is high enough to meet the needs of your graphics application as well as your personal preference. Performance will vary at certain settings due to the amount of frame buffer memory available. The following tables detail the 3D display settings supported by your Oxygen card.

Upgrading Your Oxygen Driver New drivers for your Oxygen card are posted to the Dynamic Pictures web site. If you need to upgrade your Oxygen driver, follow the directions in this section. If you are installing Dynamic Pictures’ driver software for the very first time, follow the directions in the Installing Your Software section on page 5. If you have access to the Internet, you can easily locate and download new Oxygen software drivers from Dynamic Pictures’ web site at: http://www.dynamicpictures.
Troubleshooting If you have trouble installing your Oxygen hardware or software, you may be able to fix it using this section or the information in the Oxygen Release Notes. Hardware Troubleshooting Problem: When I restart my system after installing my Oxygen card and software driver, the system hangs or nothing is displayed on my monitor. Solution: The problem could be one of several things.
• • • • Bus-master capable slot: If you still do not see anything on your monitor, your Oxygen card may not be in a bus mastercapable slot in your computer. On some PCs, not all slots are bus master-capable slots. Consult your computer or motherboard documentation for more information on your PCI bus and master-capable slots. VGA jumper disabled: Is the VGA jumper on your Oxygen card set to the factory position, "VGA enabled"? Compare the jumper on your card to the illustration on page 62.
Problem: After installing an Oxygen 202 or Oxygen 402 card, there are no VGA graphics or the system hangs on boot-up. Solution: Enter CMOS Setup at boot-up and disable ‘VGA Palette Snoop’, if available. To do this, you must reinstall your old graphics card, and during system boot, enter CMOS Setup. (The command to enter setup is usually displayed at system start-up.) Consult your system documentation for changing CMOS settings, then disable ‘VGA Palette Snoop’, if present.
Problem: After installing the Oxygen card, network problems appeared. Solution: There may be a conflict between your Ethernet card and your Oxygen card. If your Ethernet adapter is an ISA adapter rather than a PCI adapter, then check system diagnostics for IRQ conflicts. (The Oxygen 202 card requires two and the Oxygen 402 card requires four of the PCI interrupt lines, which your system may assign to one or more IRQs. Other PCI devices may share these same IRQs.
Software Troubleshooting Problem: I installed a new driver (either from the Oxygen CD-ROM or from the Dynamic Pictures web site), and the available resolution(s) or performance is not what I expected. Solution: You may not have fully installed the Dynamic Pictures driver or an installed driver file may have been corrupted. You can confirm if the driver is installed and its version number by using the Oxygen control panel (Figure 15).
Technical Support Dynamic Pictures is committed to customer satisfaction. Your Oxygen graphics accelerator card is covered by a three year parts and labor limited warranty. Details of the warranty are described in Appendix D: Warranty Information on page 65. For additional information or for technical support, please contact your local Dynamic Pictures Oxygen reseller, or reach us electronically at: support@dynamicpictures.
Technology Overview NOTE: You need not read this chapter to install and use your Oxygen card and its software. This chapter describes the award-winning technology upon which the Oxygen 3D graphics architecture is based. Your Oxygen card utilizes the all new Oxygen chip, transforming your computer system into a blazingly fast 3D graphics powerhouse.
The Oxygen chip integrates rendering, texturing and plane equation setup calculations–graphics functions other 3D graphics cards divide among several chips. The result with the Oxygen card is increased speed on a smaller card. Figure 19: Oxygen Chip Block Diagram The Oxygen Chip block diagram (Figure 19) shows the components and functions of the Oxygen chip.
The Oxygen 102 (Figure 20) is equipped with a single Oxygen chip and 8 MB of SDRAM. The Oxygen 202 (Figure 21) features two Oxygen chips operating in parallel, and 16 MB of SDRAM. Finally, the Oxygen 402 (Figure 24) features four Oxygen chips operating in parallel, and 32 MB of SDRAM.
Figure 20: Oxygen 102 3D Graphics Accelerator Installation and User’s Guide 49
Software Technical Overview The Oxygen graphics accelerator card supports the Windows NT operating system, accelerating 3D applications built on the OpenGL application programming interface (API). OpenGL is the predominant 3D API in the technical computing community. The software environment for the Oxygen card presents two APIs to the applications programmer − WIN32 and OpenGL. WIN32 is the Windows NT windowing API. Used together, OpenGL and WGL provide a 3D programming interface.
Figure 21: Oxygen 202 3D Graphics Accelerator Installation and User’s Guide 51
PowerThreads Technical Overview ™ In order to provide the fastest 3D graphics performance, it is vital that 3D graphics hardware and software be tightly integrated and optimized. Dynamic Pictures, the only 3D graphics card company to design, develop, and manufacture its own graphics chips and accelerator boards, is in the ideal position to leverage this integration from the initial product concept through execution. The result is the new PowerThreads technology for multi-threaded OpenGL.

Appendix A: Installing Oxygen on Windows NT 3.51 Oxygen 3.0 supports the Windows NT 4.0 platform only. Previous versions of the Oxygen driver software supporting Windows NT 3.51 may be found on our web site at: http://www.dynamicpictures.com/drivers.cgi. Please ensure that you have closed all Windows applications programs before beginning the Oxygen software installation process. 1. Log in to Windows NT 3.51 using any account that has administrator privileges. 2.
Appendix B:B: Installing Your Heidi Driver NOTE: This section is for Kinetix 3D Studio MAX R1 users only. Heidi is an interface layer that allows applications to operate without knowing specific details of the display hardware. Your Oxygen card will accelerate the performance of 3D Studio MAX R1, but only if the Oxygen Heidi driver is installed. The Oxygen Heidi driver software is available for download from our web site at: http://www.dynamicpictures.com/drivers.cgi.
To install the Oxygen Heidi driver: Please ensure that you have closed all Windows applications programs before beginning the Oxygen software installation process. The following steps assume that 3D Studio MAX R1 is installed in C:\3DSMAX, and that you are running a command shell. 1. Using your web browser, go to the Dynamic Pictures web site and download the self-extracting “.exe” file into a temporary directory (i.e. “TEMP”). 2. Expand the self-extracting .”exe” file by double-clicking on the file icon.
5. In the Display Drivers section, click the “Choose Driver…” button. The Driver Setup window will appear. 6. Choose the Custom Driver radio button, and select OXYGEN.HDI from the pop-up list. 5. Click the “ OK” button. 6. You must now exit 3D Studio MAX R1 and re-launch the application to use the Dynamic Pictures Oxygen Heidi driver and take advantage of your Oxygen card. Perform these steps only when switching Heidi drivers.
Appendix C: Using Dual Oxygen Cards Oxygen software drivers version 2.1 or later can support two Oxygen cards in the same system. This configuration requires two available PCI slots in the system and two monitors - one for each card. Once installed, the dual Oxygen cards, which must be the same model number, provide you with twice the desktop area for accelerated 3D graphics. The supported resolution for each display in this dual screen configuration is 1024 x 768 at all pixel depths.
Enable onboard VGA on one of the Oxygen cards. For configuration purposes, call this the “primary” card. Install this Oxygen card in the lower numbered PCI slot in the system. Usually this means the left slot in desktop systems and the lower slot in tower systems. Since this card will drive the left half of the “jumbo desktop” connect this card to the left monitor. Make sure that this monitor supports at least 1024x768 resolution at 60 Hz.
NOTE: Some computers may not support the Oxygen card when the jumper is moved and the VGA subsystem is disabled, as some computers do not support the simultaneous use of more than one video card. To switch your VGA jumper: 1. Ground yourself to the system chassis using the anti-static wrist strap. It is now safe to remove your Oxygen card from the protective bag. Always handle the card by the edges. 2.
3. Slide the jumper down, connecting the center prong and the “NOVGA” prong that was not in contact before. The Oxygen card is now set to the VGA disabled position (Figure 26). Figure 26: VGA Jumper (VGA Disabled) 4. You can now install your configured Oxygen card as instructed in the Installing Your Oxygen Card section on page 18. Each Oxygen card will display accelerated graphics on the monitor to which it is connected.
Dual display differences between Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 Due to the way Windows NT implements desktops under these two versions, dual screen operation differs slightly in the way application windows behave when maximized and where system dialog boxes appear. Under Windows NT 3.51, when an application is maximized, it is maximized to one full screen size whereas under Windows NT 4.0, the application window becomes the size of both screens.
