Using the card with other EMS products
The
X
TREME
RGB-SDI2
captures data and stores it in an on-board video
buffer
. This data is then copied
using
DMA to the host system for display, storage or streaming.
When an EMS graphics card is used,
X
TREME
RGB-SDI2
transfers the data directly to the graphics
card thereby increasing performance. The
X
TREME
RGB-SDI2
SENDS
the relevant portions of each
captured image to each display channel and instructs each channel to use its graphics engine to
render the data. This fully utilises the hardware and dramatically increases performance.
When a Direct3D compatible graphics card is used the data can be transferred direct to the
graphics card
in a similar manner to the EMS graphics card with the same benefit of non-tearing
captures.
When the data is displayed on a non EMS graphics card, the
X
TREME
RGB-SDI2
SENDS
the data to
system memory or direct to the graphics card, dependant on the software used for display.
