01 ABOUT NVIDIA SDI OUTPUT
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a digital, uncompressed high quality video format used
for film and video post production and broadcast applications. The NVIDIA SDI Output
board converts composited video and graphics to uncompressed 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit
SDI output.
About This Document
This manual explains the graphics-to-SDI functionality of the NVIDIA Quadro SDI
graphics card and software, described in the following sections:
“NVIDIA Graphics-to-SDI” on page 3 lists the supported SDI features and explains
the basic operation in a broadcast environment.
“Windows–Using the Graphics to SDI Control Panel” on page 14 describes how to use
the Display Properties control panel to set up and start the SDI output under
Windows.
“Linux—Using the Graphics to Video Out Control Panel” on page 30 describes how
to use the Display Properties control panel to set up and start the SDI output under
Linux.
For instructions on installing the graphics card and drivers, refer to the documentation
that accompanies your NVIDIA Quadro SDI graphics card.
