ATI and NVIDIA Synchronization Module

ATI FirePro™ S400 Synchronization Module

The ATI FirePro™ S400 synchronization module allows ATI FirePro™ 3D workstation graphics cards to be used in demanding applications that require synchronization to external sources (Genlock) or synchronization of 3D rendering of multiple GPUs in different systems (Framelock). The combination of these capabilities with ATI FirePro graphics accelerators means that an even wider set of applications can benefit from the award-winning ATI FirePro line.

Based on a full hardware, dedicated processor design, the ATI FirePro S400 helps ensure clock-accurate synchronization in virtually all scenarios. The dedicated processor allows up to four attached GPUs^* to work in the rendering needs of the user without compromising sync.

Features and Benefits

• Support for up to 4 GPUs per module
• Field upgradeable firmware
• Full hardware synchronization
• Support for connecting multiple computers and their GPUs together
• Sync to virtually any video source
• Serial ATA power connector

* - ATI FirePro™ V8750 graphics accelerator required.

ATI FirePro™ S400 Additional Features

ATI FirePro™ S400 Framelock for simulation, visualization and power walls
The ATI FirePro™ S400 delivers Framelock by combining Output lock (synchronized display output) and 3D swap lock (simultaneous 3D buffer swapping), helping ensure that the GPUs in connected systems present their output in lock-step.

The two RJ-45 connectors on the module allow for connection of multiple daisy-chained systems (each with up to 4 ATI FirePro GPUs inside). The BNC connector on the module optionally allows systems to be synchronized (Genlocked) to an external signal, a capability essential for use in powerwalls used in live television broadcasts.

ATI FirePro™ S400 Genlock for broadcast, NLE and other video workflows
The ATI FirePro™ S400 permits Genlocking by delivering Output lock ((synchronized display output) that is driven by an external reference signal (typically ‘house sync’). This allows the output of attached GPUs to be fed into video-centric devices (e.g. monitors used in broadcast applications, or Non-Linear Editing suites).

The BNC connector on the ATI FirePro S400 allows for receiving and synchronizing to virtually any video input source, including:

• PAL & NTSC SD video blackburst
• HDTV tri-level sync
• TTL
• Sync signals on SDI

NVIDIA Quadro G-Sync

NVIDIA Quadro® G-Sync is an option card for the NVIDIA Quadro® FX ultra-high-end graphics solutions^*. Featuring frame lock, genlock, and swap lock functionality, the Quadro G-Sync delivers unprecedented levels of industrial realism, visualization, and collaborative capabilities by enabling advanced multi-system and multi-device visualization environments.

The NVIDIA Quadro G-Sync board is designed to fit into any available expansion slot within 6 inches of the NVIDIA Quadro FX G-Sync connector. The board derives all data and power directly from the NVIDIA Quadro graphics solution.

Frame Synchronization
Allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, thus creating one large "virtual display" that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for performance scalability.

Genlock
Allows the graphics output to synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.

* - G-Sync II is designed to be combined with NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800, and 4800 only.
