DEC-VXT-2000-FamilyOfWindowingTerminals

The Digital VXT 2000 Family of Windowing Terminals are designed to enhance user productivity and simplify management in networked environments. These terminals allow for the simultaneous display of multiple applications, data, and host sessions (X, text, and image applications from UNIX, ULTRIX, and VMS systems) on a single screen, making them a versatile alternative to traditional text terminals and a cost-effective choice for various business functions.

Key features include a range of monochrome, gray scale, and color models, an easy-to-use interface, and robust management capabilities. A significant innovation is the "Server-based mode," which localizes booting, font, and configuration management via a Windowing Terminal Server. This approach drastically simplifies the management of large groups of terminals, making it as easy to manage many as it is to manage one, while also reducing network and host loading.

The VXT 2000 terminals ensure high performance through local clients (like Motif Window Manager and DECterm), virtual memory access, and efficient protocols (LASTport). They also offer powerful document imaging capabilities, including XIE software for image display and an optional DECimage hardware accelerator for enhanced performance.

Overall, the VXT 2000 family provides a flexible, high-performance, and easily manageable solution for diverse applications requiring multi-window access and shared network resources, making users more productive without disrupting their existing environment.
