NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 SDI by PNY Technologies is the ideal solution for on-air broadcast professionals across many applications ranging from virtual sets, sports, and weather news systems to compositing live video footage onto virtual backgrounds and sending the result to live video for TV broadcast.
Film and video pre- and post-production professionals can preview, in real-time on HD broadcast monitors, the results of 3D compositing, editing, and color grading. This graphics-to-video-out solution delivers uncompressed 12-bit SDI from programmable graphics, enabling a direct connection to broadcast monitors, tape decks, or SDI projectors.
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 SDI provides two channels, fill or key, of 8-, 10-, or 12-bit uncompressed SDI in 2K, HD, or SD formats, and analog and digital house synchronization. It supports both Microsoft Windows and Linux and works on top of existing applications, or can be easily integrated within a broadcast or video editing application through an NVIDIA supported API.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 SDI by PNY features a revolutionary new architecture with 2x the geometry and fill rate and 4x the hardware pixel read-back performance of previous generation products. It supports 1024MB of GDDR2 frame buffer memory, and rotated grid full scene antialiasing (RG FSAA) for increased color accuracy and visual quality of edges and lines without compromising performance.
