The SDI application programming interface allows OpenGL applications to have full and exclusive control of the SDI output.

Refer to the Programming the NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI document corresponding to your graphics solution for instructions on using the APIs.

To allow applications to control the SDI output

1. Make sure the NVIDIA Control Panel SDI output control is turned off.

2. 1. From the NVIDIA Control Panel Select at Task pane, under Workstation, click Send graphics to SDI output.

   2. If you are using more than one NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI card (as in the NVIDIA Quadro Plex 1000), under Select a display to configure SDI output, click the display icon corresponding to the display you want to configure.

   3. • This option does not appear if your system contains only one NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI card.

      • If this option does not appear and your system does contain more than one NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI card, see To enable multiple SDI cards for instructions on enabling the cards.

   4. Under Send SDI output using, select Do not send SDI output.

3. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.

4. Start the application.

5. Once the application is running and the SDI output is under application control, you can view the SDI settings and status as follows:

6. 1. From the NVIDIA Control Panel navigation tree pane, under Workstation, click Send graphics to SDI output.

   2. This page displays the SDI formats, house sync settings, synchronization methods used, and sync delays.
