Overview
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI by PNY featuring NVIDIA PureVideo™ technology is the ideal solution for
on-air HD broadcast graphics 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.
Post production finishing and film production professionals can preview, in real-time on HD broadcast
monitors, the result of 3D compositing, editing, and color grading. This graphics-to-video-out solution
delivers uncompressed 12-bit SDI directly from a powerful programmable graphics engine, enabling a
direct connection to broadcast monitors, tape decks, or SDI projectors.
Two channels, fill or key, of SDI uncompressed 8-, 10-, or 12-bit SDI are provided in 2K, HD, or SD
formats, along with analog and digital house synchronization. Microsoft® Windows® and Linux support
deliver platform choice, the ability to work on top of existing applications, or integration into
in-house broadcast or video applications or workflows through NVIDIA's published API developer
documentation.
The revolutionary new Quadro FX 4500 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) delivers a radical new architecture
with 2x the geometry and fill rate and 4x the hardware pixel read-back performance of previous
generation graphics processors. It supports 512MB of ultra-fast GDDR3 memory, and rotated grid full
scene antialiasing (RG FSAA), for increased color accuracy and visual quality of edges and lines without
compromising performance.
By delivering the ultimate in quality, precision, performance, and programmability NVIDIA Quadro by PNY
graphics boards enable a new level of interactivity in broadcast and DCC applications. For the first
time production rendering becomes an integral part of the design and production workflow, shortening the
production process and enabling stunning on-air 3D graphics.
Key Features and Benefits
Uncompressed 8-, 10-, or 12-bit SDI Output
The programmable GPU architecture and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI by PNY specific graphic user
interface enable configurability of the video channels, color space conversion, and gamma correction.
A video backend unit provides full support for outputs in the following 2K, HD, and SD formats through
2 video channels with support for either 2 distinct channels of fill or 1 channel of fill and 1 channel

Genlock (House Synchronization)
One digital and one analog genlock (BNC) connectors provide connectivity to a video sync source for
SMPTE standard (digital, black burst, tri-level) synchronization.
Unparalleled Sub-pixel Precision
12-bit sub-pixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating rasterization anomalies.
Unmatched Color Precision
Full 128-bit precision graphics pipeline enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain
high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per
color component (RGBA) delivers missions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.
Next-generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 GPU introduces infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control,
removing the previous limits on complexity and structure of shader programs. With full support for
Vertex and Shader Model 3.0, the GPU delivers sophisticated effects never before possible on real-time
graphics systems.
Rotated Grid FSAA (RG FSAA)
RG FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly
increasing color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing "jaggies" while maintaining
performance.
NVIDIA PureVideo Technology
PureVideo technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers
unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, and accurate color for SD and HD video content. Features
include spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD.
