IEEI is a 29 year old technology company located in Newport Beach, California.

As a California corporation IEEI provides a wide range or products and services to rich media companies in Broadcast, Post Production, Animation, Editing, Film and Enterprise.

The part number FX4000SDI-IEEI-01 has been tested by AP Associated Press ENPS for use in SNAPfeed to allow for output of WM9 video to SDI in a Windows 2003 computer.

The NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4000 SDI is the ideal solution for on-air broadcast professionals across many applications such as virtual-sets, sports, and weather news systems to composite video footage onto virtual backgrounds and send the result to live video for TV broadcast. Additionally, the solution also allows film and video production, post-production, and finishing professionals to preview, in real time on HD broadcast monitors, the result of 3D compositing, editing, and color grading. This graphics-to-video-out solution delivers uncompressed 10-bit SDI from programmable graphics, enabling a direct connection to broadcast monitors, switchers, tape decks, or SDI projectors.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI provides two channels - fill or key – of 8- or 10-bit uncompressed SDI in HD or SD formats and analog and digital house synchronization. It supports both Windows and Linux and works on top of existing applications, or can be easily integrated within a broadcast or video editing application through NVIDIA’s API.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI leverages the new NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 architecture with 2x the geometry and fill rate, 5x the hardware pixel read-back performance and 1.25x the memory bandwidth of previous generation workstation graphics. It also supports ultra-fast GDDR3 memory and Rotated Grid FSAA for increased color accuracy and visual quality of edges and lines compromising performance.

NVIDIA Quadro FX provides the ultimate in quality, precision, performance, and programmability. CAD and DCC applications acquire a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. For the first time, styling and production rendering become integral functions of the design workflow, shortening the production process and enabling faster time to market.

The programmable GPU architecture and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI specific graphic user interface enable configurability of the video channels, color space conversion, and gamma correction.

A video backend unit provides full support for outputs in the following HD and SD formats through 2 video channels with support for either 2 distinct channels of Fill or 1 channel of Fill and 1 channel of Key (Alpha or Z):

One Digital and One Analog genlock (BNC) connectors provide connectivity to a video sync source for SMPTE standard (digital, black burst, tri-level) synchronization.

12-bit sub-pixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.

Full 128-bit precision graphics pipeline enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 GPUs introduce infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity and structure of shader programs. With full support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0, NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 GPUs deliver sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.

Greater than 1.0GB/sec, pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, and more than 5x the performance of previous generation graphics systems.

RG FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing “jaggies” while maintaining performance.

Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 32-bit per component floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
