NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Sync Overview
The NVIDA Quadro M6000 with NVIDIA Quadro Sync delivers Frame Lock/Genlock and advanced
programmable graphics for industrial, visualization and collaborative applications, by providing
features for advanced multi-system visualization and multi-device film and video environments.
This sophisticated professional visualization solution is GPU-driven by the NVIDIA Quadro
M6000, while features such Frame Lock, Genlock, and synchronized Frame Buffer Swap and
refresh rate are supported by a companion NVIDIA Quadro Sync board.
The Quadro M6000 requires an open x16 PCIe interface slot with an adjacent open slot (double-
width board). The NVIDIA Quadro Sync board is designed to fit into any available expansion slot
within 6 to 24 inches of the NVIDIA Quadro M6000. The Quadro Sync requires power via a 6-pin
power connector or SATA power connector. The Quadro Sync card can host up to four (4)
NVIDIA Quadro M6000 boards.
Frame Lock allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, creating
one large “virtual display” that can be driven by a multi-system cluster for performance
scalability.
Genlock allows the graphics output to be synchronized to an external source, typically for film
and broadcast video applications.
The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 and NVIDIA Quadro Sync will synchronize up to four displays
simultaneously (4 Display Port), provided they are all in same display mode, which means the
same resolution and refresh rate on all four displays.
NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Overview
The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 graphics board is a PCI Express full-height form factor (4.4 inches by
10.5 inches) graphics add-in card based on the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 graphics processing unit
(GPU). It is targeted as a high-performance desktop graphics solution for PCI Express systems.
The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 graphics board offers 12GB of GDDR5 ECC GPU memory and
supports display types ranging from analog CRTs to the latest digital flat panels.
