Indigo Magic User Environment

Unrivalled Digital Media

Indy has plenty of media tools to enhance communication. Now you can incorporate 3D graphics, photorealistic images, video, CD/DAT-quality audio, and text into your work, in real time and all in digital format. Best of all, IndyCam, digital and analog video-in, microphone, CD-quality audio, support for Kodak Photo-CD(tm) format, and software media tools are standard with every Indy workstation.

IndyCam is an ideal tool for collaborative workgroup communications. The video subsystem performs filtered scaling to 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 screen, or IndyCam can capture full-resolution, full-frame video directly to memory in true digital format. CD/DAT-quality audio includes four channels of analog audio and two channels of digital audio. Inexpensive third-party software supports full-motion MPEG1 and video CD playback.

Indigo Magic User Environment

Indigo Magic is a new generation desktop user environment that combines an intuitive desktop management system with powerful digital media tools in a single user interface. We call it a "Media User Interface" because Indigo Magic simplifies system and network access and facilitates collaborative computing with unique digital media tools that let you capture, create, and communicate your ideas in ways that are more vivid and compelling than you ever imagined.

With the Indigo Magic Desk Manager, create multiple iconic desktops with all the applications, files and tools you'll need to work on specific projects. System administration and management is a breeze. Set up your printer and user accounts and connect to a network with just the click of an icon. The Indigo Magic User Environment is "network aware," so you can easily find and use all the resources on your network.

InPerson Multi-Point Teleconferencing

The optional InPerson(tm) software gives your team the tools to share technical and creative information without ever leaving the office. High-quality audio and video, text, and images are interactively sharable, in real time, over standard network connections.
