19 NVIDIA Quadro SDI Capture
Currently the NVIDIA Quadro SDI Capture card can only be used with the NVIDIA SDI
option. Vizrt’s application of this card is mainly in time critical environments like virtual
studios and sports applications as it has a stable latency from input to output (of 4
frames).
The time used for video transfer from input to the GPU and back to video output is a lot
less than any other solution Vizrt currently offers. Hence, scenes with 4 video inputs as
texture still have a lot of rendering time left per field/frame.
Embedded audio is supported; however, audio input is currently not.
