NVIDIA Quadro SDI by PNY Output Board
The NVIDIA Quadro SDI by PNY Output board is the ideal solution for digital broadcast, film, and video
professionals, who use various applications such as virtual sets, sports, and weather/news systems to
composite live video footage onto virtual backgrounds and send the results to live video for TV
broadcast and streaming. The Quadro SDI Output board also allows film production, post-production,
and finishing professionals to preview and record the results of 3D compositing, editing, and color
grading in real time on high definition (HD) broadcast monitors. This graphics- to – video – out solution
delivers uncompressed 8-, 10-, or 12 bit SDI from programmable graphics, enabling a direct connection
to broadcast monitors, switchers, and tape decks or SDI projectors.



Uncompressed 8-, 10-, or 12 –bit SDI Output : Enables professional s to composite and output
live video and graphics to true, uncompressed 12-bit SDI in 2K,SD or HD resolution and allows
direct connection to a broadcast monitor, switcher, tape deck, or SDI projector.
Output up to 2-SDI Video Feeds from GPU Memory: Connect directly to supported Quadro
graphics boards to output video directly from GPU memory.
Genlock (House Synchronization): One genlock (Standard BNC) connector (digital or analog)
provides connectivity to a video sync source for SMPTE standard (digital, black burst, tri-level)
synchronization. Expanded cross sync functionality permits an incoming house signal to
synchronize to a much larger number of video output signal formats.
