Workstation Overview
This section provides help on the following NVIDIA Control Panel features – available with NVIDIA Quadro cards – that are specific to workstation applications:
-
Frame synchronization is the process of synchronizing display pixel scanning to a synchronization source. When several systems are connected, a sync signal is fed from a master system to the other systems in the network, and the displays are synchronized with each other.
-
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a digital, uncompressed high quality video format used for film and video post production and broadcast applications. The NVIDIA Quadro® FX SDI graphics card converts composited video and graphics to uncompressed 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit SDI output.
-
Edge overlap adjustment lets you define an area along the edge of adjacent displays to repeat in a multiple projection system. When the adjacent projections overlap in that area, the result is better fusion of the two displays.
-
Mosaic and SLI Mosaic Mode lets you use multiple displays to create a larger virtual canvas.
You can turn on or off Error Correction Code (ECC) activity on supported GPUs. When turned on, ECC detects and, where possible, corrects errors in data processing within the GPU.
-
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a digital, uncompressed high quality video format used for film and video post production and broadcast applications. The NVIDIA® Quadro® SDI Capture card enables multi-stream, uncompressed video to be streamed directly to Quadro SDI-enabled GPU memory.
The NVIDIA driver lets you take the EDID information from a connected display and save it to a file on your disk, and also force an EDID to be applied to a specific connector on your graphics card.
NOTE: For Windows Versions – Workstation features under newer versions of Windows are in development and may not be available with your graphics driver version. Consult the release notes for the latest list of unsupported features.
