NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI by PNY
The NVIDIA Quadro FX family offers a variety of specialty products that meet the needs of demanding
graphics, video, and broadcast professionals.
Overview
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI is the ideal solution for digital broadcast professionals, who can use it in
virtual-set, sports, and weather news systems to composite live video footage onto virtual backgrounds and
send the result to live video for TV broadcast. The solution also allows film production, post-production,
and finishing professionals to preview, in real-time on HD broadcast monitors, the results of 3D compositing,
editing, and color grading. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI provides two channels - fill or key - of 8 or 10-bit
uncompressed SDI in HD or SD formats. It supports Windows and Linux, works on top of existing applications,
and can be easily integrated within a broadcast video editing application or workflow through NVIDIA's
published API developer documentation.
Key Features and Benefits
Proven Professional Graphics Architecture
Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and workstation specific features result in the
industry's highest application performance and quality.
Advanced Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Allows real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects and surface properties.
Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality.
12-bit Subpixel Precision
3x that of the nearest competitive graphics boards, 12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric
accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
High Quality Rotated Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing
Up to 16x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or 'jaggies' at resolutions up to 3840x2400,
resulting in highly realistic scenes. New Rotated Grid FSAA (RGFSAA) delivers unprecedented quality and
performance.
High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HDPR) Technology
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering,
texturing and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
Support for 32-bit floating point precision per component - an industry exclusive.
Unified Driver Architecture
Provides easy installation and manageability through a single unified driver for large scale system
deployment. The performance and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid foundation of quality
engineering. This engineering excellence is exemplified by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA),
which is certified for quality by the entire spectrum of professional CAD and DCC applications.
