Video I/O Setup for Workstations Using the NVIDIA
Quadro SDI Board
The following video components are included with your shipment if your
workstation uses a NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 graphics board and a NVIDIA
Quadro SDI board.
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 graphics board The NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
graphics board provides output to your computer monitor directly, and to the
broadcast monitor via the NVIDIA Quadro SDI board.
NVIDIA Quadro SDI board The NVIDIA Quadro SDI board provides 2K, HD,
or SD video output to a broadcast monitor, VTR, or SDI projector. The board
features a BNC genlock connector that connects to your sync generator.
AJA OEM-2K board and breakout box The AJA OEM-2K board provides
video I/O, audio, and VTR control. The AJA breakout box connects to the AJA
OEM-2K board and handles SD (NTSC, PAL), and HD at a depth of 8 and 10
bits.
LCD graphics monitor The LCD graphics monitor features a wide screen
with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a maximum resolution of 1920x1200.
AJA HD10DA Distribution Amplifier The AJA distribution amplifier receives
its signal from the NVIDIA SDI board and provides output to a VTR and
broadcast monitor. The distribution amplifier is necessary in order to use the
Real-Time Deliverables feature.
Refer to the following diagrams to connect the video I/O components to an
HP xw9400 workstation equipped with a NVIDIA Quadro SDI board.
Note the following about the wiring diagrams:
■ The output port and, if Real-Time Deliverables are not used, input port of
the VTR connect to the SDI In A and SDI Out A ports of the AJA breakout
box. You can use the SDI In B and SDI Out B ports for dual link video I/O.
■ For Real-Time Deliverables, input port A of the VTR connects to the AJA
HD10DA distribution amplifier (for 4:2:2 signal), and input port B connects
to the appropriate connector on the NVIDIA SDI board (for dual link 4:4:4
signal).
■ VTR control is provided through the RS-422 port on the AJA breakout box.
See Standard VTR Control Cable Pinout on page 34.
