The NVIDIA® Quadro® Digital Video Pipeline is the industry’s only GPU-accelerated solution for real-time acquisition, processing, and delivery of high-resolution video across standard and now 3D video broadcast environments.

Designed as an ultra-flexible platform, the Quadro Digital Video Pipeline leads the way for 3D video production and delivery. Developed for single or multi-camera environments, and with full support for stereoscopic 3D production workflows, the Quadro Digital Video Pipeline provides a direct feed of up to four HD SDI video streams directly into the GPU. As a tightly integrated solution, the Digital Video Pipeline is powered by a single workstation, enabling cost effective implementation of multi-camera 3D systems.

3D Stereoscopic Production
The Quadro Digital Video Pipeline is at the epicenter of the 3D stereoscopic production workflow.

> Capture up to four video feeds from multi-camera environments, in real-time, directly to the GPU
> Composite virtual 3D effects and video processing directly on the GPU
> Broadcast the final result from the GPU directly to live TV or streamed over the internet

Digital Broadcast and Video
The Quadro Digital Video Pipeline is the platform for broadcast and video production houses to easily incorporate virtual sets and effects for broadcasting sports, news and weather.

> Enables capture of SD-, HD-, 3G-SDI video footage, in real time directly to the GPU
> Composite virtual effects or video processing using the NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture
> Broadcast the final result directly to live TV

Film Production, Post-Production, and Finishing
The Quadro Digital Video Pipeline is the choice among film professionals for editing and video production.

> SDI Capture enables SDI video capture in up to 12-bit color directly to the GPU
> Capture of source content from camera, film scanners, digital data recorders (DDRs), and video tape
   recorders (VTRs)
> Accurate real-time preview on SDI monitors or projectors

New Media Markets
The Quadro Digital Video Pipeline is the leader in providing a path to broadcast content to the internet.

> Offers the fastest path for capturing and encoding broadcast quality video
> Ultra-fast, real-time GPU-based encoding for internet video streaming

The Quadro Digital Video Pipeline is the leading-edge platform for creating a new dimension in viewing. Setting the standard for 3D stereoscopic production and delivery through advanced SDK tools and unified drivers, developers can easily integrate into their applications using either OpenGL or Direct3D programming interfaces. Utilize the same drivers, removes the complexity of multi-threaded, programming to buffer video from devices of different vendors, creating a unified and integrated solution. Plus video professionals can preview content on stereo-ready displays when driven by Quadro solutions that include support for broad list of 3D stereo formats.

The NVIDIA Quadro SDI SDK provides ease of programmability and control of the entire Quadro Digital Video pipeline – acquisition, processing and delivery. Be a registered developer and gain access to the SDK by completing this form.

Building on the technology developed for the NVIDIA Digital Video Pipeline solution, NVIDIA has recently developed a new process that enables fast-throughput technology for third-party SDI input and output cards as well. This new capability will be enabled through software, and made available to video I/O card manufacturers through an SDK. The technology, called GPUDirect for Video, will join other solutions in the GPUDirect lineup to enable fast access to Quadro professional graphics cards in a range of video applications. If you are a 3rd party I/O card manufacturer and would like to add NVIDIA’s GPUDirect for Video technology, become a registered developer and gain access to the SDK by completing this form.
